Multi-hop ad hoc wireless networks generally use the IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) MAC protocol, which utilizes the request-to-send/clear-to-send (RTS/CTS) me...
This paper proposes a medium access control (MAC) protocol for ad hoc wireless networks that utilizes multiple channels dynamically to improve performance. The IEEE 802.11 standar...
Abstract--In wireless ad hoc networks, in addition to the well-known hidden terminal and exposed terminal problems, the locationdependent contention may cause serious unfairness an...
— Applying directional antennas in wireless ad hoc networks offers numerous benefits, such as extended communication range, increased spatial reuse, improved capacity and suppre...
Ad hoc networks formed without the aid of any established infrastructure are typically multi-hop networks. Location dependent contention and "hidden terminal" problem ma...
