The IEEE 802.11x MAC protocol, the de facto standard for wireless LANs, includes a distributed coordination function (DCF) mode usable for ad hoc network architectures. The Transm...
Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna systems present a radical way to improve the performance of wireless communications. Such systems can be utilized in wireless ad hoc n...
Abstract. Recent experimental studies have shown that radio links between low-power devices are extremely unreliable. In particular, the instability and unpredictability of low-pow...
—It is well known that IEEE 802.11 provides a physical layer multirate capability and, hence, MAC layer mechanisms are needed to exploit this capability. Several solutions have b...
— The fairness of IEEE 802.11 wireless networks (including Wireless LAN and Ad-hoc networks) is hard to predict and control because of the randomness and complexity of the MAC co...
