—The paper analyzes the relationships among the transmission range, carrier sensing range, and interference range in case that power control is adopted and proposes an adaptive r...
—A key technology in cooperative communications is distributed space-time coding (DSTC) which achieves spatial diversity gain from multiple relays. A novel DSTC, called randomize...

Energy is the most crucial but scarce resource in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). A wealth of MAC protocols are proposed only to prolong the network lifetime for energy-efficienc...
—IEEE 802.11 DCF is the MAC protocol currently used in wireless LANs. 802.11 DCF is inefficient due to two types of overhead; channel idle time and collision time. This paper pr...
Interference model is the basis of MAC protocol design in wireless networks, and it directly affects the efficiency and predictability of wireless messaging. To exploit the strengt...
