Multi-rate feature is an important advance in wireless communications. It enables wireless
devices to operate at high data rate when the channel condition is sufficiently good. Existing …

Being different from traditional mobile communication networks or wireless LAN with access
points, ad hoc network can provide direct communications between homogeneous stations …

Ad hoc networks consist of a group of wireless nodes that dynamically form a multihop
network via shared communication channels. For each node, channel access is managed …

Multi‐hop wireless networks arise in the context of ad hoc networks, sensor networks, and
mesh networks, and their performance depends critically on the underlying medium access …

In this letter, we present a new analytical model that accurately evaluates the throughput,
service delay and energy consumption of S-MAC protocol. Our model takes into account the …

Recent technological advances in wireless communications offer new opportunities and
challenges for wireless ad hoc networking. In the absence of the fixed infrastructure that …

In this paper, we propose a TDMA based multi-channel MAC protocol to improve the
channel efficiency and network performance in wireless ad hoc networks. There are two …

One critical issue in multihop ad hoc networks is the medium access control (MAC). The
IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol is originally designed for fully connected, one-hop ad hoc …

Optimal CSMA, which is fully distributed wireless MAC theory, has provided a rule of
dynamically adapting CSMA parameters according to some theoretically developed …

In wireless communication environments, backoff is traditionally based on the IEEE binary
exponential backoff (BEB). Using BEB results in a high delay in message transmission …
