Since wireless ad-hoc networks use shared communication medium, accesses to the medium must be coordinated to avoid packet collisions. Transmission scheduling algorithms allocate ...
— Recent years have seen tremendous growth in the deployment of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs). An important design issue in such networks is that of distributed scheduling...
Abstract Algorithms for scheduling TDMA transmissions in multi-hop networks usually determine the smallest length conflict-free assignment of slots in which each link or node is a...
We propose the cross-layer based opportunistic multi-channel medium access control (MAC) protocols, which integrate the spectrum sensing at physical (PHY) layer with the packet sch...
Abstract— Limited resources and time-varying nature of wireless ad hoc networks demand optimized use of resources across layers. Cross-layer optimization (CLO) for wireless netwo...
