Computer communication networks have come of age. Today, there is hardly any
professional, particularly in engineering, that has not been the user of such a network. This …

The wireless mobile ad hoc network (MANET) architecture has received a lot of attention
recently. This paper considers the access of multiple channels in a MANET with multi-hop …

A number of algorithmic and protocol assumptions taken for granted in the design of existing
wireless communication technologies need to be revisited in extending their scope to the …

We describe a new carrier-sense multiple access (CSMA) protocol for multihop wireless
networks, sometimes also called ad hoc networks. The CSMA protocol divides the available …

At high data transmission rates, the packet transmission time of a local area network (LAN)
could become comparable to or less than the medium propagation delay. The performance …

The aggregate throughput of a wireless ad hoc network depends on the channel capacity,
channel utilization (ie, the fraction of channel capacity used for generating good put), and …

In a mobile ad hoc network (MANET), one essential issue is Medium Access Control (MAC),
which addresses how to utilize the radio spectrum efficiently and to resolve potential …

The purpose of this paper is to provide guidelines for conducting a successful simulation
study. The guidelines are provided throughout the entire life cycle of a simulation study that …

We describe a new carrier-sense multiple access (CSMA) protocol for multihop wireless
networks, using multiple channels and a distributed channel selection scheme. The …

The IEEE 802.11 wireless local area networks (WLANs) standard supports several equal-
capacity communication channels which can be simultaneously shared and accessed by …
