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 ...
: Designed for high rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs), the IEEE 802.15.3 Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol supports peer-to-peer communications in a piconet. In this ...
Although there are many MAC protocols that have been proposed for terrestrial wireless networks with a wide variety of aspects, these protocols cannot be applied directly in underw...
We consider wireless networks that can be modeled by multiple access channels in which all the terminals are equipped with multiple antennas. The propagation model used to account...
Abstract—Secondary spectrum access is emerging as a promising approach for mitigating the spectrum scarcity in wireless networks. Coordinated spectrum access for secondary users ...
