In contention-based sensor networks, nodes compete to access a shared channel for data transmission and collision is a common challenge. For power conservation, periodical active/s...
Abstract-- Quality-of-service (QoS) provisioning, high system throughput, and fairness assurance are indispensable for heterogeneous traffic in future wireless broadband networks. ...
UMTS networks will be based on the Internet Protocol (IP) to provide an efficient support for applications with bursty traffic characteristics, e.g., WWW browsers. Such IP-based n...
An inelastic flow is a flow with inelastic rate: i.e., the rate is fixed, it cannot be dynamically adjusted to traffic and load condition as in elastic flows like TCP. Real ti...
: In this paper, we discuss a novel reservation-based, asynchronous MAC protocol called `Multi-rate Multi-hop MAC Protocol' (MMMP) for multi-hop ad hoc networks that provides ...
