—The newly emerged vehicular ad hoc network adopts the contention based IEEE 802.11 DCF as its MAC. While it has been extensively studied in the stationary indoor environment (e....
Energy assessment of MAC protocols for wireless sensor networks is generally based on the times of transmit, receive and sleep modes. The switching energy between two consecutive ...

We study the performance of reliable and unreliable allnode broadcast over ad-hoc networks that use contentionbased channel access. To obtain analytical results while preserving h...
The nature of ad hoc networks makes it a challenge to offer connections with an assured quality. In order to improve the performance of the network, multipath routing in combinati...
Abstract— Adaptive rate/power control schemes have great potential to increase the throughput of wireless CDMA networks. In this paper, we investigate the additional gains achiev...
