Abstract— A novel multichannel schedule-based Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for ad-hoc networks, named collision-avoidance transmission scheduling (CATS) is introduced. CA...
: Designed for high rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs), the IEEE 802.15.3 Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol supports peer-to-peer communications in a piconet. In this ...
Underwater multimedia acoustic sensor networks will enable new underwater applications such as multimedia coastal and tactical surveillance, undersea explorations, picture and vide...
In this paper, we propose Spacing-based Channel Occupancy Regulation (SCORE) MAC protocol that provides proportional service differentiation in terms of normalized throughput in w...
—Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) form a new and interesting area in the world of remote health monitoring. An important concern in such networks is the communication between ...
