Abstract-- Two-tier networks, comprising a conventional cellular network overlaid with shorter range hotspots (e.g. femtocells, distributed antennas, or wired relays), offer an eco...
Despite its support of prioritized services, the IEEE 802.11e Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) cannot guarantee strict QoS required by real-time services such as voice a...
— We address the problem of exchanging broadcast packets among multiple wireless terminals through a single relay node. The objective is to evaluate the delay and throughput gain...
Although there are many MAC protocols that have been proposed for terrestrial wireless networks with a wide variety of aspects, these protocols cannot be applied directly in underw...
Abstract--In this paper, the flow-level performance of opportunistic scheduling in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) networks is studied. The analysis accounts for ...
