With the advances in wireless technologies and the explosive growth of the Internet,
wireless networks, especially Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs), are going through an …

Developed as a simple and cost-effective wireless technology for best effort services, IEEE
802.11 has gained popularity at an unprecedented rate. However, due to the lack of built-in …

Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) is one of the most promising technologies for
the next generation of wireless communication networks because it has the potential to …

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) consist of mesh routers and mesh clients, where mesh
routers have minimal mobility and form the backbone of WMNs. They provide network …

This book presents an in-depth study on the recent advances in Wireless Sensor Networks
(WSNs). The authors describe the existing WSN applications and discuss the research …

Are you involved in designing the next generation of wireless networks? With spectrum
becoming an ever scarcer resource, it is critical that new systems utilize all available …

Today, three different physical (PHY) layers for the IEEE 802.11 WLAN are available (802.11
a/b/g); they all provide multi-rate capabilities. To achieve a high performance under varying …

Rate adaptation is a mechanism unspecified by the 802.11 standards, yet critical to the
system performance by exploiting the multi-rate capability at the physical layer. I n this …

Due to the broadcast nature of wireless signals, a wireless transmission intended for a
particular destination station can be overheard by other neighboring stations. A focus of …

Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) has emerged as an important transmission
technology for numerous applications in Internet of Things (IoT) systems. Thus, in this paper …
