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...
This paper presents a load-based transmission scheduling (LoBaTS) protocol for wireless ad hoc networks. Since terminals in these networks may be required to forward unequal amoun...

An on-demand routing protocol for wireless ad hoc networks is one that searches for and attempts to discover a route to some destination node only when a sending node originates a...
In mobile ad hoc networks, nodes interact peer-to-peer. They self-organize, share workloads and provide services that they also use. There are middleware platforms, designed for t...
Abstract--Mobile wireless Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) naturally support a traffic mix of elastic and real-time flows but the shared nature and lossy properties of the radio medium mak...
