A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a collection of two or more nodes equipped with
wireless communications and a networking capability without central network control. Nodes …

Abstract To provide Quality of Service (QoS) at MAC layer in mobile ad hoc networks
(MANETs), it requires that a real-time (or high priority) data frame gets a higher channel …

In this paper, an analytical model is proposed to calculate the network throughput of
dedicated control channel protocols that are designed to schedule multiple packets to be …

In wireless multihop ad hoc networks, the use of the RTS/CTS mechanism does not
completely eliminate the hidden-terminal problem. Considering the hidden-terminal problem …

Technological advances in wireless communications have made it possible the existence of
an ad hoc network which is roughly a multi-hop wireless network of mobile nodes without …

In wireless sensor networks and ad hoc networks, energy uses are in many cases the most
important constraint since it corresponds directly to operational lifetime. It's due to their …

In traditional ad hoc networks, the hidden-terminal and the exposed-terminal problems can
reduce the network capacity severely on the MAC layer. To address the problem, many MAC …

Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) are found to be useful in many areas like military
applications, emergency operations, wireless sensor network, and distributed computing …

In this paper we describe a new MAC protocol for ad hoc networks called distributed point
coordination function (DPCF). It constitutes an extension of the PCF of the IEEE 802.11 …

This paper proposes and analyses a novel MAC protocol for wireless ad hoc networks that
makes use of distributed queues to achieve an efficient use of the radio channel. The …
