Traditionally, interference is considered harmful. Wireless networks strive to avoid
scheduling multiple transmissions at the same time in order to prevent interference. This …

Performance evaluation of cognitive radio (CR) networks is an important problem but has
received relatively limited attention from the CR community. Unlike traditional radios, a …

Within the short span of a decade, Wi-Fi hotspots have revolutionized Internet service
provisioning. With the increasing popularity and rising demand for more public Wi-Fi …

The fading characteristics and broadcast nature of wireless channels are usually not fully
considered in the design of routing protocols for wireless networks. In this paper, we …

Topology control is an effective method to improve the energy efficiency of wireless sensor
networks (WSNs). Traditional approaches are based on the assumption that a pair of nodes …

The large number of network nodes and the energy constraints make Wireless Sensor
Networks (WSN) one of the most important application fields for Cooperative Diversity. Node …

This paper proposes a medium access control (MAC) algorithm, called Cooperative
Diversity MAC (CD-MAC), which exploits the cooperative communication capability to …

A receiver-oriented perspective on capacity scaling in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs)
suggests that broadcast and multicast may be more natural traffic models for these systems …

The proposed work suggests a novel approach for the cooperation of geographically
scattered individuals and the blending of different points of view. This work ensures that the …

In interference-rich and noisy environment, wireless communication is often hampered by
unreliable communication links. Recently, there has been active research on cooperative …
