The IEEE 802.11x MAC protocol, the de facto standard for wireless LANs, includes a distributed coordination function (DCF) mode usable for ad hoc network architectures. The Transm...
— We consider ad hoc wireless networks that use directional antennas and have limited energy resources. The performance objectives of such networks depend largely on the applicat...

—In this paper the performance of unslotted ALOHA and CSMA are analyzed in spatially distributed wireless networks. Users/packets arrive randomly in space and time according to a...
—Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) generally adopt a peer-to-peer architecture in which the nodes themselves provide routing and services to the network. Disconnectivity with peer ...

We present QoS Geometric Broadcast Protocol (QoSGBP), a novel broadcasting protocol for heterogeneous wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. While broadcasting is a very energy-expe...
