A good amount of research has been developed to support QoS issues in IEEE 802.11 ad hoc networks, such as QoS routing, MAC layer QoS support, and cross-layer QoS design. However,...
— Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) is an essential ingredient in wireless networks employing channel sensing as part of their medium access mechanism. While CCA itself is implement...
—The IEEE 802.16 standard, or WiMAX, has emerged to facilitate high-bandwidth wireless access in realworld metropolitan areas, commonly referred to as 4G. In WiMAX, Hybrid Automa...
