— IEEE 802.11 DCF exhibits poor scalability due to the large contention overhead. Therefore, the more the number of stations, the less the aggregate throughput. We propose a two-...
—The distributed nature of the CSMA/CA based wireless protocols, e.g., the IEEE 802.11 distributed coordinated function (DCF), allows malicious nodes to deliberately manipulate t...
Abstract—In this paper, we review the most important performance characteristics of the 802.11 DCF wireless networks, point out some false common knowledge, and report on recent ...
—It is well known that IEEE 802.11 provides a physical layer multirate capability and, hence, MAC layer mechanisms are needed to exploit this capability. Several solutions have b...
— In distributed wireless access networks, the short-term unfairness of IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) has been revealed by many works. In this paper, a modi...
