—Today, many network applications require shorter react time. Robotic field is an excellent example of these needs: robot react time has a direct effect on its task’s complexit...
Application autonomy can reduce interactions with users, ease the use of the system, and decrease user distraction. On the other hand, users may feel loss of control over their ap...
We propose B-MAC, a carrier sense media access protocol for wireless sensor networks that provides a flexible interface to obtain ultra low power operation, effective collision a...
The paper describes the design and evaluation of AdHoc extensions to the IEEE 802.15.3 Medium Access Control (MAC) layer for Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs). The proposed ...
