IEEE 802.11, the standard of wireless local area networks (WLANs), allows the coexistence of asynchronous and time-bounded traffic using the distributed coordination function (DCF)...
— The characteristics of wireless packet loss have been studied extensively. Most efforts focus on the temporal loss characteristics at individual stations. For multicast protoco...
Abstract— Unlike the terrestrial wireless networks that utilize the radio channel, underwater networks use the acoustic channel, which poses research challenges in the medium acc...
In this paper, we propose Spacing-based Channel Occupancy Regulation (SCORE) MAC protocol that provides proportional service differentiation in terms of normalized throughput in w...
In this study we investigate the interaction between TCP and MAC layer in a wireless multi-hop network. Using simulation, we provide new insight into two critical problems of TCP ...
