— In multi-hop ad hoc networks, the efficiency of a medium access control protocol under heavy traffic load depends mainly on its ability to schedule a large number of simultan...
The IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol has inherent weakness of channel wastage while operating a Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET). In this paper, we therefore propose s...

—Underwater Sensor Networks are typically distributed in nature and the nodes communicate using acoustic waves over a wireless medium. Such networks are characterized by long and...
Nodes in a wireless network transmit messages through a shared medium. Thus, a Media Access Control (MAC) protocol is necessary to regulate and coordinate medium access. For some a...
—Today, many network applications require shorter react time. Robotic field is an excellent example of these needs: robot react time has a direct effect on its task’s complexit...
