— IEEE 802.11 WLAN has been widely accepted throughout the world. However, it has large overhead due to idle backoff slots and frequent collisions depending on the number of node...
Abstract--Distributed medium access control (MAC) is essential for a wireless network without a central controller. In previous work of the authors, a distributed MAC scheme has be...
