— This paper presents the ALCA (Asymmetric Link Collision Avoidance) protocol. ALCA was designed to deal with a known deficiency of the Basic Scheme [1] for power control in 802...
Abstract—In this paper, we introduce a framework for distributed opportunistic scheduling in multihop wireless ad hoc networks. With the proposed framework, one can take a schedu...
— Access control concerns in MANETs are very serious and considered as a crucial challenge for operators who prospects to employ unrivaled capabilities of such networks for diffe...

Using directional antennas in wireless ad hoc networks can significantly improve network performance. However, the deafness problem greatly limits the network performance. This pa...
Medium Access Control (MAC) policies in which the scheduling time slots are allocated irrespectively of the underline topology are suitable for ad-hoc networks, where nodes can ent...
