RTS-CTS handshake based protocols achieve “reliable unicast” by eliminating the hidden node problem effectively, however, these solutions are not directly or efficiently gene...
Recent development of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) has led to the appearance of many application specific communication protocols which must be energy-efficient. Among those pro...
The paper presents a detailed discussion of various issues involved in designing a medium access control (MAC) protocol for multihop wireless networks with nodes employing multiple...
—Cognitive radio (CR) dynamically accessing inactive radio spectrum of the primary system (PS) at link level has attracted a lot of research interests. The cognitive radio networ...
