—Carrier sensing is a medium access method widely adopted in wireless communication to protect data transfers from interference. For example, Distributed Coordination Function (D...
IEEE 802.11 MAC, called the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF), employs carrier sensing to effectively avoid collisions, but this makes it difficult to maximally reuse the sp...
Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna systems present a radical way to improve the performance of wireless communications. Such systems can be utilized in wireless ad hoc n...
– MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) is capable of offering several-fold increase in spectral efficiency over singleantenna systems through spatial processing. However, curren...
—Neighbors of both the transmitter and the receiver must keep quiet in a 802.11 wireless network as it requires bidirectional exchange, i.e., nodes reverse their roles as transmi...
