—Large-scale wireless networks must be designed such that there are no gaps in coverage. It is also desirable to minimize the number of access points used in order to minimize th...
Although the EDCA access mechanism of the 802.11e standard supports legacy DCF stations, the presence of DCF stations in the WLAN jeopardizes the provisioning of the service guaran...
Abstract—In this paper, we analyze three opportunistic multichannel MAC protocols that associate a newcoming terminal station to one of the access points available within its tra...
Spectrum management has been identified as a crucial step towards enabling the technology of the cognitive radio network (CRN). Most of the current works dealing with spectrum ma...
In this paper, we design and analyze a soft handoff algorithm for code-division multiple access (CDMA) systems in a Rayleigh fading environment. For each mobile, this algorithm sel...
