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...
This paper bears on the design and the quantitative evaluation of MAC mechanisms for wireless ad-hoc networks with performance guarantees. By this, we mean mechanisms where each ac...
This paper presents GeoGrid, a geographical location service overlay network system, for providing scalable location-based services to a large and growing number of mobile users. ...
—The design of optimal opportunistic multicast scheduling (OMS) that maximizes the throughput of cellular networks is investigated. In a cellular network, the base station (BS) t...
Increasing popularity of wireless services has triggered the need for efficient wireless transport mechanisms. TCP, being the reliable transport level protocol widely used in wired...
