— In most wireless relay networks, the source and relay nodes transmit successively via fixed time division (FTD) and each relay forwards a packet immediately upon receiving. In...
– MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) is capable of offering several-fold increase in spectral efficiency over singleantenna systems through spatial processing. However, curren...
— Distributed time synchronization is an important part of a sensor network where sensing and actuation must be coordinated across multiple nodes. Several time synchronization pr...
Multi-hop ad hoc wireless networks generally use the IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) MAC protocol, which utilizes the request-to-send/clear-to-send (RTS/CTS) me...
—In this paper, we introduce a cross-layer design framework to the multiple access problem in contention-based wireless ad hoc networks. The motivation for this study is twofold,...
