Abstract—In traditional wireless sensor network (WSN) applications, energy efficiency is considered to be the most important concern whereas utilizing the use of bandwidth and m...
Nodes in sensor networks often encounter spatially-correlated contention, where multiple nodes in the same neighborhood all sense an event they need to transmit information about....
—The IEEE 802.15.3 has introduced a type of time division multiple access (TDMA) which allocates the variable length of timeslot within a constant time interval. However, it need...
— The fairness of IEEE 802.11 wireless networks (including Wireless LAN and Ad-hoc networks) is hard to predict and control because of the randomness and complexity of the MAC co...
We present the hybrid activation multiple access (HAMA) protocol for ad hoc networks. Unlike previous channel access scheduling protocols that activate either nodes or links only,...
