The existing research on security issues in cognitive radio networks mainly focuses on attack and defense in individual network layers. However, the attackers do not necessarily re...
—The interaction between MAC protocols and interference in wireless multi-hop networks introduces extra constraints on achievable flow rates. In this paper, we formulate an optim...
In wireless networks, throughput optimization is an essential performance objective that cannot be adequately characterized by a single criterion (such as the minimum transmitted o...
—The inherent channel characteristics of impulse-based UWB networks affect the MAC layer performance significantly. Most previous studies on evaluating MAC protocols are based o...
