We consider transmission scheduling by medium access control (MAC) protocols for energy limited wireless sensor networks (WSN) in order to maximize the network lifetime. Time-vary...
- Recently, several MAC protocols using directional antennas, typically referred to as directional MAC protocols, have been proposed for wireless ad hoc networks. However, the MAC ...
Guardbands are designed to insulate transmissions on adjacent frequencies from mutual interference. As more devices in a given area are packed into orthogonal wireless channels, c...
