In this paper, we study the effect of using or disengaging the RTS/CTS dialogue in IEEE 802.11 DCF MAC protocol incorporating the realistic condition under which carrier sensing, ...
—Internet application performance over wireless links is disappointing, due to wireless impairments and their adverse interactions with higher protocol layers. In order to effect...
- Recently, several MAC protocols using directional antennas, typically referred to as directional MAC protocols, have been proposed for wireless ad hoc networks. However, the MAC ...
—Efficient operation of wireless networks and switches requires using simple (and in some cases distributed) scheduling algorithms. In general, simple greedy algorithms (known a...
