Abstract—Directional antennas are expected to provide significant improvements over omni-directional antennas in wireless ad hoc networks. Directional MAC protocols, however, int...
—Location information should be verifiable in order to support new computing and information services. In this paper, we adapt the classical challenge-response method for authen...
— Link and node reliability are important metrics in wireless ad hoc networks. Therefore, evaluating and quantifying reliability has become the cornerstone of research in this ...
— A novel cooperative multiple access protocol for packet speech communications is proposed. Cooperation is achieved through a relay node and by exploiting the silence periods du...
