Multiagent Bayesian networks (MABNs) are a powerful new framework for uncertainty management in a distributed environment. In a MABN, a collective joint probability distribution i...
—Advances in microsensor and radio technology will enable small but smart sensors to be deployed for a wide range of environmental monitoring applications. The low per-node cost ...
Abstract— In WiFi networks, mobile nodes compete for accessing a shared channel by means of a random access protocol called Distributed Coordination Function (DCF). Although this...
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) define a challenging computing scenario where access to resources is restrained by connectivity among hosts. Replication offers an opportunity to in...
Abstract— Throughput performance of the IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) is very sensitive to the number n of competing stations. The contribute of this paper ...
