—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...
We propose a cooperative-diversity technique for ad hoc networks based on the decode-and-forward relaying strategy. We develop a MAC protocol based on slotted ALOHA that allows ne...
Abstract—In this paper, we present our results on the performance of MAC protocols in multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks in terms of the newly proposed metric “aggregate multi-...

A wireless sensor network is a new kind of wireless Ad-Hoc network consisting of a large number of small low cost, power constrained sensors deployed in a large area for gathering...
—In this paper, we propose an analytical technique to evaluate the statistics of the channel estimation error in a simple multi-user ad hoc networking scenario. This problem is v...
