In this paper, we propose a new Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for full exploitation of directional antennas in wireless networks. The protocol introduces a circular directio...
Abstract--In wireless ad hoc networks, in addition to the well-known hidden terminal and exposed terminal problems, the locationdependent contention may cause serious unfairness an...
—Recently, game theory becomes a useful and powerful tool to research mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). Wireless LANs (WLANs) can work under both infrastructure and ad hoc modes, ...
— The proliferation of wireless and mobile devices has fostered the demand of context aware applications, in which location is often viewed as one of the most significant context...
We show how the database community’s notion of a generic query interface for data aggregation can be applied to ad-hoc networks of sensor devices. As has been noted in the senso...
