IEEE 802.11, the standard of wireless local area networks (WLANs), allows the coexistence of asynchronous and time-bounded traffic using the distributed coordination function (DCF)...
Abstract—Cross-layer routing and scheduling algorithms design for wireless backhaul mesh network has attracted much research interest recently. The network is expected to support...
— The IEEE 802.15.4 Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol is designed for low data rate, short distance and low power communication applications such as Wireless Sensor Networks (...
— In Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs), the hidden and the exposed terminal problems affect the throughput of the Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols. Several MAC schemes have be...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are typically characterized by a limited energy supply at sensor nodes. Hence, energy efficiency is an important issue in the system design and op...
