— 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...
Ad-hoc networks are perceived as communities of autonomous devices that interconnect with each other. Typically, they have dynamic topologies and cannot rely on a continuous conne...
Mobile wireless communication is susceptible to signal blockage, which is loss of signal, typically due to physical obstruction, over a longer duration relative to fading. Measurem...
