We consider a multihop wireless linear network where multiple nodes are evenly spaced
over a straight line. Two scenarios are addressed: a network where only one source …

Recently there has been a considerable research interest in the next generation mobile
networks. The new networks promises to be able to handle multi-service (voice, data, video) …

Efficient medium access control (MAC) algorithms are needed for nodes to share a
transmission medium and achieve a high throughput. A MAC algorithm schedules packet …

In a regular wireless ad hoc network, the Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol
coordinates channel access among nodes, and the throughput of the network is limited by …

IEEE 802.11 MAC is designed for single channel and based on Carrier Sense Multiple
Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA). The throughput of network is limited by the …

MAC protocols for multimedia traffic transmis-sion in mobile ad hoc networks have been
studied steadily. It is still challenging to design an efficient protocol due to limited resource …

This paper presents two novel mechanisms aimed at improving the packet transmission
delay distribution and the channel usage efficiency of wireless ad hoc networks when using …

Medium-access-control (MAC) protocol for wireless networks proposed are based on
collision avoidance using handshake between sender and receiver. The earlier existing …

In wireless ad hoc networks, utilizing multiple interfaces as well as multiple channels at MAC
layer is known as one of key techniques to improve network capacity. Since the existing …

A new and reliable MAC protocol is proposed to reduce the number of control handshake
messages, such as RTS (Request-To-Send) and CTS (Clear-To-Send), incurred prior to …
