The IEEE 802.11x MAC protocol, the de facto standard for wireless LANs, includes a distributed coordination function (DCF) mode usable for ad hoc network architectures. The Transm...
Past research studying the operations of TCP over wireless/mobile ad hoc networks has shown that TCP cannot be adopted as-is for use in mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) to achieve r...
Packet loss and delay in Internet degrade the quality of requested services like VoIP (Voice over IP) or Video Streaming. In novel network scenarios where wired and wireless connec...
Researches on the wireless mesh network in which access points (APs) of a wireless LAN are connected by an ad-hoc networks are recently drawing much attention. In the wireless mes...
Existing transport protocols, be it TCP, SCTP or DCCP, do not provide an efficient congestion control mechanism for heterogeneous wired-cum-wireless networks. Solutions involving i...
