The floor acquisition multiple access (FAMA) discipline is analyzed in networks with hidden terminals. According to FAMA, control of the channel (the floor) is assigned to at mo...
Multi-hop ad hoc wireless networks generally use the IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) MAC protocol, which utilizes the request-to-send/clear-to-send (RTS/CTS) me...
The hidden terminal problem is unique to wireless networks and as of now, there is very limited understanding about it's effects on network performance. Results are presented...
— Applying directional antennas in wireless ad hoc networks offers numerous benefits, such as extended communication range, increased spatial reuse, improved capacity and suppre...
In this paper, we consider the problem of throughput maximization in an infrastructure based WLAN. We demonstrate that most of the proposed protocols though perform optimally for ...
