Identifying the true type of a computer file can be a difficult problem. Previous methods of file type recognition include fixed file extensions, fixed “magic numbers” stored ...
—The newly emerged vehicular ad hoc network adopts the contention based IEEE 802.11 DCF as its MAC. While it has been extensively studied in the stationary indoor environment (e....
Most of the existing medium access control (MAC) protocols for wireless local area networks (WLANs) provide prioritized access by adjusting the contention window sizes or interfram...
In this paper, we address the problem of cross-layer optimization in medium access control (MAC) and network layers for wireless multicasting with multiple cooperative or competit...
The IEEE 802.11e standard revises the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer of the former IEEE 802.11 standard for Quality-of-Service (QoS) provision in the Wireless Local Area Networ...
