This paper bears on the design and the quantitative evaluation of MAC mechanisms for wireless ad-hoc networks with performance guarantees. By this, we mean mechanisms where each ac...
MLS is a distributed location service to track the position of mobile nodes and to route messages between any two nodes. The lookup of nodes is achieved by searching in a hierarch...
— In this paper we study a simple protocol utilizing two-hop cooperative diversity augmented with “automatic repeat request” (ARQ) for multi-hop ad-hoc networks. This protoco...
Abstract. The RTS/CTS access scheme, designed to reduce the number of collisions in a IEEE 802.11 network, is known to exhibit problems due to masked nodes, the imbalance between t...

Medium Access Control (MAC) policies in which the scheduling time slots are allocated irrespectively of the underline topology are suitable for ad-hoc networks, where nodes can ent...
