—Carrier sensing is a medium access method widely adopted in wireless communication to protect data transfers from interference. For example, Distributed Coordination Function (D...
Abstract— Deafness is a key problem. It erodes the performance gains provided by directional antennas, and introduces a new hidden terminal problem. To address deafness, and henc...
—In this paper the performance of unslotted ALOHA and CSMA are analyzed in spatially distributed wireless networks. Users/packets arrive randomly in space and time according to a...
—We present a cooperative spatial reuse (CSR) scheme as a cooperative extension of the current TDMAbased MAC to enable spatial reuse in multi-rate wireless networks. We model spa...
