— Recent studies have shown that designing a Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol combined with a cooperative approach may improve the attainable network throughput, despite redu...
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...
It has been shown in the literature that many MAC protocols for wireless networks have a considerable control overhead, which limits their achievable throughput and delay performan...
