New architectural and design approaches for radio access networks have appeared with the
introduction of network virtualization in the wireless domain. One of these approaches splits …

In this survey we attempt to describe the Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms employed by
Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols designed for ad-hoc networks. We begin with …

This paper presents Sora, a fully programmable software radio platform on commodity PC
architectures. Sora combines the performance and fidelity of hardware software-defined …

MAC addresses can be easily spoofed in 802.11 wireless LANs. An adversary can exploit
this vulnerability to launch a large number of attacks. For example, an attacker may …

Abstract WiFi-based Long Distance (WiLD) networks with links as long as 50-100 km have
the potential to provide connectivity at substantially lower costs than traditional approaches …

In this paper, a design framework of fault-tolerant wireless networked control systems
(NCSs) is developed for industrial automation applications. The main objective is to achieve …

Over the past few years a range of new Media Access Control (MAC) protocols have been
proposed for wireless networks. This research has been driven by the observation that a …

Holistic aggregations are popular queries for users to obtain detailed summary information
from Wireless Sensor Networks. An aggregation operation is holistic if there is no constant …

In recent times, there is increasing consensus that the traditional Internet architecture needs
to be evolved for it to sustain unstinted growth and innovation. A major reason for the …

Programmable wireless platforms aim at responding to the quest for wireless access
flexibility and adaptability. This paper introduces the notion of wireless MAC processors …
