Energy conservation is a critical issue in wireless ad hoc networks since batteries are the only energy source to power the nodes. One major metric for energy conservation is to r...
We present a joint PHY/MAC architecture (DCC-MAC) for 802.15.4a-like networks based on PPM-UWB. Unlike traditional approaches it fully utilizes the specific nature of UWB to achie...

We consider an ad-hoc network consisting of devices that try to gain access for transmission through a shared communication channel. We redesign randomized protocol of Cai, Lu and ...
Using directional antennas in wireless ad hoc networks can significantly improve network performance. However, the deafness problem greatly limits the network performance. This pa...
In most of the proposed clustering algorithms for wireless ad hoc networks, the cluster-heads form a dominating set in the network topology. A variant of dominating set which is mo...
