– In this paper, we present a new collision-free MAC protocol–Carrier Sense Media Access with ID Countdown (CSMA/IC) for ad hoc wireless networks that can achieve 100% collisio...
Smart antennas are expected to enhance scalability in ad hoc networks. This paper at first evaluates three directional MAC protocols, DMAC, MMAC and SWAMP as well as the omni-dir...
Directional antennas in ad hoc networks offer many benefits compared with classical omnidirectional antennas. The most important include significant increase of spatial reuse, cov...
Abstract— Unlike the terrestrial wireless networks that utilize the radio channel, underwater networks use the acoustic channel, which poses research challenges in the medium acc...
