— Group communications are important in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET). Multicast is an efficient method to implement the group communications. However, it is challenging to imp...
—It is well known that IEEE 802.11 provides a physical layer multirate capability and, hence, MAC layer mechanisms are needed to exploit this capability. Several solutions have b...
A new modeling framework is introduced for the analytical study of medium access control (MAC) protocols operating in multihop ad hoc networks. The model takes into account the e...
