Wireless networking and group communication in combination allows groups of dispersed mobile users to collaborate. This paper presents AGENT, a medium access control (MAC) protocol...
Abstract-- In this paper, we analyze asymptotic delaythroughput trade-offs in mobile ad-hoc networks comprising heterogeneous nodes with restricted mobility. We show that node spat...
This paper presents ARC (Adaptive Range Control), a communication range control mechanism using directional antennas to be implemented across multiple layers. ARC uses directional...
- Directional antennas are used to improve spatial reuse, but have the problem of deafness. The DUDMAC protocol [9] uses the ORTS, OCTS, DDATA, and DACK mechanisms and a blocking a...
In this paper, we propose a new Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for full exploitation of directional antennas in wireless networks. The protocol introduces a circular directio...
