In ad hoc networks, CSMA/CA is a widely used MAC layer protocol. There has been
considerable work on the performance evaluation of this protocol. But most work is confined …

The problem of obtaining the transmission rate in an ad hoc network consists in adjusting
the power of each node to ensure the signal to interference ratio (SIR) and the energy …

Medium access control (MAC) protocols provide a means to nodes to access the wireless
medium efficiently and collision free to the best of their ability. In this paper we provide a …

One way to improve the throughput of a wireless ad hoc network at the media access (MAC)
layer is to allow as much as possible concurrent transmissions among neighboring nodes. In …

An analytical model to evaluate the non-saturated performance of the Distributed Queuing
Medium Access Control Protocol for Ad Hoc Networks (DQMANs) in single-hop networks is …

This article explains limitations of the IEEE 802.11 standard [1] and most of the typical
problems in ad hoc networks where the standard is applied. There have been many …

In designing WLAN MAC protocols, several issues must be considered. Among them, the
hidden-terminal and exposed-terminal problems are two of the most important issues. The …

This paper considers the performance of the MAC protocols ALOHA and CSMA in wireless
ad hoc networks, where the total system bandwidth may be divided into smaller subbands …

As mobile computing gains popularity, the need for ad hoc routing protocols will continue to
grow. There have been numerous simulations comparing the performance of these …

It is widely accepted that Ad Hoc networks are at the leading edge of the research in the
domain of wireless networking. These networks are not supported by infrastructure to …
