— Traditional Physical Carrier Sensing (PCS), which aims at eliminating hidden terminals in wireless networks, causes too many exposed terminals and deteriorates the throughput p...
Abstract—Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Enhanced Collision Avoidance (CSMA/ECA) is a recently proposed modification to the well-known CSMA/CA protocol. By using a determinis...
— 1 Taking advantage of the independent fading channel conditions among multiple wireless users, opportunistic transmissions schedule the user with the instantaneously best condi...
Diversity is an intrinsic property of wireless networks. Recent years have witnessed the emergence of many distributed protocols like ExOR, MORE, SOAR, SOFT, and MIXIT that exploi...
