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...
— The medium-access control (MAC) protocols for wireless networks proposed or implemented to date based on collision-avoidance handshakes between sender and receiver either requi...
—Neighbor discovery1 is one of the first steps in the initialization of a wireless ad hoc network. In this paper, we design and analyze practical algorithms for neighbor discove...

In this paper, we study the wireless synchronization problem which requires devices activated at different times on a congested single-hop radio network to synchronize their roun...
The development of practical, localized algorithms is probably the most needed and most challenging task in wireless ad-hoc sensor networks (WASNs). Localized algorithms are a spe...
