—IEEE 802.11 DCF is the MAC protocol currently used in wireless LANs. 802.11 DCF is inefficient due to two types of overhead; channel idle time and collision time. This paper pr...
—Time based localisation methods like GPS are widely used for outdoor navigation, whereas indoor navigation is typically performed only on a cell-basis or based on the Received S...
Wireless LANs with their increased data rate become an attractive technology for connecting mobile users to the Internet. Efficient deployment of wireless LANs will require the ab...
Recently, wireless LANs based on the IEEE 802.11 standard have become popular and widely used, and Voice-over-IP (VoIP) is one of the most promising technologies to be used in mobi...
Wireless LANs operating within unlicensed frequency bands require random access schemes such as CSMA/CA, so that wireless networks from different administrative domains (for exam...

In this paper, we propose Spacing-based Channel Occupancy Regulation (SCORE) MAC protocol that provides proportional service differentiation in terms of normalized throughput in w...
Abstract— Rate adaptation plays a key role in determining the performance of wireless LANs. In this paper, we introduce a semi-Markovian framework to analyze the performance of t...
