Monitoring different parameters of interest in a crop has been proven as a useful tool to
improve agricultural production. Crop monitoring in precision agriculture may be achieved …

We consider the vector fixed point equations arising out of the analysis of the saturation
throughput of a single cell IEEE 802.11 e wireless local area network with nodes that have …

Slotted ALOHA implemented in the internet of things (IoT) uses the LoRaWAN media access
control (MAC) protocol to improve its performance. Various backoff algorithms have been …

IEEE 802.11 standard primarily utilizes Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) which is
based on carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA). IN DCF, when …

Quality of service (QoS) provisioning is one of the most important criteria in newly emerging
UWB-operated WPANs, as they are expected to support a wide variety of applications from …

In vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), the effect of signal distortions due to the existence of
adjoining vehicles and the high degrees of mobility of the nodes affect the reliability of …

Backoff algorithms have been introduced to solve the problem of collisions over networks. In
the case of MANETs, extra point had to be taken into account while develo** backoff …

Quality of service (QoS) provisioning is one of the most important criteria in newly emerging
UWB WPANs, as they are expected to support a wide variety of applications from time …

The standard IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol uses the Binary Exponential Backoff algorithm. The
Binary Exponential Backoff makes exponential increments to contention window sizes. This …

It is well known that underwater acoustic communications are unlike radio communications,
where data are transmitted via electromagnetic waves. In contrast, acoustic waves are used …
