We believe that existing wire solutions such as HomePNA2.0 and HomePlug and wireless solution such as HomeRF are the most promising solutions, because of its cost-effectiveness. H...
The use of directional antenna in wireless ad hoc networks potentially increases simultaneous communication by directing the transmitting and receiving beams towards the receiver a...
Satellite networks offer a number of desirable characteristics including wide area coverage, unique broadcast capabilities, the ability to communicate with hand-held devices, and ...
This paper proposes a medium access control (MAC) protocol for ad hoc wireless networks that utilizes multiple channels dynamically to improve performance. The IEEE 802.11 standar...
Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna systems present a radical way to improve the performance of wireless communications. Such systems can be utilized in wireless ad hoc n...
The increase of IEEE 802.11’s bandwidth led to a deployment of many multimedia applications over wireless networks. Nevertheless, these applications impose stringent constraints...
