Abstract—Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Enhanced Collision Avoidance (CSMA/ECA) is a distributed MAC protocol that allows collision-free access to the medium in WLAN. The onl...
: This paper presents the initial design and performance study of MACA-P, a RTS/CTS based MAC protocol that enables simultaneous transmissions in multihop ad-hoc wireless networks....
—In this paper, we present an analytical model to evaluate the hidden station effect on the access delay of the IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) in both non-sa...
Recent development of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) has led to the appearance of many application specific communication protocols which must be energy-efficient. Among those pro...
