One way to improve the throughput of a wireless ad hoc network at the media access (MAC) layer is to allow concurrent transmission among neighboring nodes as much as possible. In ...
— This paper presents the ALCA (Asymmetric Link Collision Avoidance) protocol. ALCA was designed to deal with a known deficiency of the Basic Scheme [1] for power control in 802...
— We present in this work a new mechanism based on an innovative hybrid approach for traffic and collision control in wireless ad hoc networks. We combine the well known equatio...
This paper discusses the ideal shapes of control frames (i.e., RTS/CTS frames) in the IEEE 802.11 MAC layer for efficient power control and directional beam forming in mobile ad h...
