—Experiments show that IEEE 802.11 DCF system exhibits unstable behavior in the congestion onset load range where the system starts to become saturated. This phenomenon is not we...
—We introduce a 3-dimensional Markov chain that integrates the IEEE 802.11 DCF contention resolution and queueing processes into one model. Important QoS measures, delay and loss...
Abstract— We present a method of dynamic coalition formation (DCF) in sensor networks to achieve well-informed sensor-target allocations. Forecasts of target movements are incorp...
—Wireless Internet access is facilitated by IEEE 802.11 WLANs that, in addition to realizing a specific form of CSMA/CA—distributed coordination function (DCF)— implement a ...
— In distributed wireless access networks, the short-term unfairness of IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) has been revealed by many works. In this paper, a modi...
