Quorum-based Power Saving (QPS) protocols have been proposed for ad hoc networks (e.g., IEEE 802.11 ad hoc mode) to increase energy efficiency and prolong the operational time of...
Abstract. Providing energy efficiency in MAC (Medium Access Control) layer, while achieving desirable throughput, is an important research issue in the area of wireless networking....
This paper analyzes the energy consumption of ad hoc nodes using IEEE 802.11 interfaces. Our objective is to provide theoretical limits on the lifetime gains that can be achieved b...
— Medium access control (MAC) protocols have been studied under different contexts for several years now. In all these MAC protocols, nodes make independent decisions on when to ...
In this paper we show how game theory and Gibbs sampling techniques can be used to design a self-optimizing algorithm for minimizing end-to-end delays for all flows in a multi-clas...
