Abstract— A novel multichannel schedule-based Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for ad-hoc networks, named collision-avoidance transmission scheduling (CATS) is introduced. CA...
: Medium Access Control (MAC) and resource allocation are two challenging issues in mobile network. Packet reservation multiple access (PRMA) is considered as a promising MAC proto...
—We consider an ad hoc network where frequency hopping (FH), convolutional coding and multiple antennas are employed in order to combat fading and multiple access (MA) interferen...

We present the hybrid activation multiple access (HAMA) protocol for ad hoc networks. Unlike previous channel access scheduling protocols that activate either nodes or links only,...
