We consider a wireless ad-hoc network with random ALOHA transmissions between nodes. However nodes can decide to use the Request-to-Send (RTS) / Clear-to-Send (CTS) protocol for oc...
Abstract. The RTS/CTS access scheme, designed to reduce the number of collisions in a IEEE 802.11 network, is known to exhibit problems due to masked nodes, the imbalance between t...

—In this paper, we propose a comprehensive solution for power control in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). Our solution emphasizes the interplay between the MAC and network layers...
Abstract—Directional antennas are expected to provide significant improvements over omni-directional antennas in wireless ad hoc networks. Directional MAC protocols, however, int...
— This paper presents the ALCA (Asymmetric Link Collision Avoidance) protocol. ALCA was designed to deal with a known deficiency of the Basic Scheme [1] for power control in 802...
