—The interaction between MAC protocols and interference in wireless multi-hop networks introduces extra constraints on achievable flow rates. In this paper, we formulate an optim...
— Hybrid Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols combine the strength of random and schedule based MAC schemes. From random MAC schemes, Hybrid MAC protocols borrow flexibility an...

: We study a slotted version of the Aloha Medium Access (MAC) protocol in a Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET). Our model features transmitters randomly located in the Euclidean plane, ...
Aggregate traffic loads and topology in multi-hop wireless networks may vary slowly, permitting MAC protocols to `learn' how to spatially coordinate and adapt contention patte...
