— The use of directional antennae in ad hoc networks has received growing attention in recent years. However, most existing directional MAC protocols assume interchangeable direc...
— Medium access control (MAC) protocols have been studied under different contexts for several years now. In all these MAC protocols, nodes make independent decisions on when to ...
Abstract. The IEEE 802.11 MAC layer is known for its unfairness behavior in ad hoc networks. Introducing fairness in the 802.11 MAC protocol may lead to a global throughput decreas...
: In this paper, we discuss a novel reservation-based, asynchronous MAC protocol called `Multi-rate Multi-hop MAC Protocol' (MMMP) for multi-hop ad hoc networks that provides ...
— In this paper, we propose a novel asynchronous Media Access Control (MAC) protocol, Opportunistic MAC (OMAC), for Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) ad-hoc networks. The pro...
