Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging domain that promises ubiquitous connection to the
Internet, turning common objects into connected devices. The IoT paradigm is changing the …

Developed as a simple and cost-effective wireless technology for best effort services, IEEE
802.11 has gained popularity at an unprecedented rate. However, due to the lack of built-in …

The IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol is the standard for wireless LANs; it is widely used in
testbeds and simulations for wireless multihop ad hoc networks. However, this protocol was …

Studies of ad hoc wireless networks are a relatively new field gaining more popularity for
various new applications. In these networks, the Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols …

The IEEE 802.11 wireless media access standard supports multiple data rates at the
physical layer. Moreover, various auto rate adaptation mechanisms at the medium access …

Sensor networks can be considered distributed computing platforms with many severe
constraints, including limited CPU speed, memory size, power, and bandwidth. Individual …

Nodes in sensor networks often encounter spatially-correlated contention, where multiple
nodes in the same neighborhood all sense an event they need to transmit information about …

Interest in broadband wireless access (BWA) has been growing due to increased user
mobility and the need for data access at all times. IEEE 802.16 e based WiMAX networks …

This book provides a comprehensive yet easy coverage of ad hoc and sensor networks and
fills the gap of existing literature in this growing field. It emphasizes that there is a major …

Since conventional multiple access schemes, such as time division multiple access (TDMA),
frequency division multiple access (FDMA), et al., cannot meet the requirements on …
