— Recent advance in IEEE 802.11 based standard has pushed the wireless bandwidth up to 600Mbps while keeping the same wireless medium access control (MAC) schemes for full backwa...
IEEE 802.11 MAC, called the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF), employs carrier sensing to effectively avoid collisions, but this makes it difficult to maximally reuse the sp...
Access control to sensitive resources in pervasive computing needs to take uncertainty into account. Previous research has developed uncertainty-aware access-control models for en...
: One important problem which may arise in designing a deployment strategy for a wireless sensor network is how to deploy a specific number of sensor nodes throughout an unknown ne...
Abstract. A MAC protocol specifies how nodes in a sensor network access a shared communication channel. Desired properties of such MAC protocol are: it should be distributed and c...
