Nodes in sensor networks often encounter spatially-correlated contention, where multiple nodes in the same neighborhood all sense an event they need to transmit information about....
Cooperative communications fully leverages the broadcast nature of the wireless channel and spatial diversity, thereby achieving tremendous improvements in system capacity and dela...
— Future application areas of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) may include industrial process automation, aircraft control systems or patient monitoring in hospitals. Such applica...
Token passing medium access control (MAC) protocols are gaining interest amongst wireless ad hoc network researchers as they provide unrivalled advantages over the existing IEEE 80...
One way to improve the throughput of a wireless ad hoc network at the media access (MAC) layer is to allow concurrent transmission among neighboring nodes as much as possible. In ...
