Abstract— An ad hoc wireless network is an autonomous selforganizing system of mobile nodes connected by wireless links where nodes not in direct range communicate via intermedia...
IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control (MAC) called Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) provides two different access modes, namely, 2-way (basic access) and 4-way (RTS/CTS) hands...
The paper describes the design and evaluation of AdHoc extensions to the IEEE 802.15.3 Medium Access Control (MAC) layer for Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs). The proposed ...

Abstract— Powerline communications (PLC) are receiving special attention since they use an already available and ubiquitous infrastructure. The main standard for PLC home network...
Mobility in wireless sensor networks poses unique challenges to the medium access control (MAC) protocol design. Previous MAC protocols for sensor networks assume static sensor no...
— A Block ACK (BTA) scheme has been proposed in IEEE 802.11e to improve medium access control (MAC) layer performance. It is also a promising technique for next-generation high-s...
— This paper investigates distributed medium access control (MAC) to achieve rate guarantee in pulse-based timehopping ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless networks, where the inherent ...

Abstract. Renewed interest in ALOHA-based Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols stems from their proposed applications to wireless ad hoc and sensor networks that require distribut...
—The IEEE 802.16 standard (commonly known as WiMAX), which has emerged as a broadband wireless access technology, is capable of delivering very high data rates. The grant/request...
—Known covert channel based on splitting algorithms in Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols requires the receiver’s knowledge of the sender’s identity. In this paper we pres...
