- Due to the increasing complexity of scientific models, large-scale simulation tools often require a critical amount of computational power to produce results in a reasonable amou...
IEEE 802.11 MAC, called the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF), employs carrier sensing to effectively avoid collisions, but this makes it difficult to maximally reuse the sp...
The Wireless Channel-oriented Ad-hoc Multi-hop Broadband (W-CHAMB) is a new link layer protocol with the aim of being able to support Quality of Service (QoS) in multi-hop operati...
—IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) uses a binary exponential backoff algorithm to arbitrate simultaneous channel access by multiple stations. When a station sen...
