In contention-based sensor networks, nodes compete to access a shared channel for data transmission and collision is a common challenge. For power conservation, periodical active/s...
IEEE 802.11 MAC, called the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF), employs carrier sensing to effectively avoid collisions, but this makes it difficult to maximally reuse the sp...
Mobility in ad hoc networks causes frequent link failures, which in turn causes packet losses. TCP attributes these packet losses to congestion. This incorrect inference results i...

— The use of directional antennae in ad hoc networks has received growing attention in recent years. However, most existing directional MAC protocols assume interchangeable direc...
—Wireless mesh networks have been widely deployed to provide broadband network access, and their performance can be significantly improved by using a new technology called netwo...
