—Cognitive radio (CR) dynamically accessing inactive radio spectrum of the primary system (PS) at link level has attracted a lot of research interests. The cognitive radio networ...
In this paper, we propose an efficient power saving protocol for multi-hop mobile ad hoc networks, called p-MANET. Our design is expected as a new foundation MAC layer power savin...
We believe that existing wire solutions such as HomePNA2.0 and HomePlug and wireless solution such as HomeRF are the most promising solutions, because of its cost-effectiveness. H...
The main contribution of this work is to propose efficient randomized leader election and initialization protocols for Packet Radio Networks (PRN, for short). As a result of the i...
