Technological advances, coupled with the flexibility and mobility of wireless systems, are the
driving force behind the Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime paradigm of networking. At the same …

In this paper we develop a new multiaccess protocol for ad hoc radio networks. The protocol
is based on the original MACA protocol with the adition of a separate signalling channel …

Ad hoc mobile wireless networks have seen increased adaptation in a variety of disciplines
because they can be deployed with simple infrastructures and virtually no central …

IEEE 802.11 MAC mainly relies on two techniques to combat interference: physical carrier
sensing and RTS/CTS handshake (also known as" virtual carrier sensing"). Ideally, the …

In ad hoc networks, the hidden-and the exposed-terminal problems can severely reduce the
network capacity on the MAC layer. To address these problems, the ready-to-send and clear …

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 …

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

The past five decades have witnessed startling advances in computing and communication
technologies that were stimulated by the availability of faster, more reliable, and cheaper …

Vehicular ad hoc networking is an emerging technology for future on-the-road
communications. Due to the virtue of vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure …

In a wireline network, nodes form links with only those nodes they are wired to, and the links
do not interfere with one another. In contrast, in a wireless network, signal transmissions are …
