In this paper we study the performance trade-offs between conventional cellular and multi-
hop ad-hoc wireless networks. We compare through simulations the performance of the two …

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are an emerging class of network architectures that are
characterized by their highly dynamic topology, limited resources (ie, bandwidth and power) …

The end-to-end throughput of multi-hop communication in wireless ad hoc networks is
affected by the conflict between forwarding nodes. It has been shown that sending more …

Most of the existing works have been evaluated the performance of 802.11 multihop
networks by considering the MAC layer or network layer separately. Knowing the nature of …

There has been a growing interest in multihop wireless ad hoc networks in recent years.
Previous studies have shown that, when using the IEEE 802.11 DCF protocol in a wireless …

Data transmission in ad hoc networks involves interactions between medium access control
(MAC)-layer protocols and data forwarding along network-layer paths. These interactions …

An innovative approach to determine the performance parameters of arbitrary multihop
wireless networks is proposed. This approach can be applied to various types of multihop …

In this paper, we present an analytic model for evaluating average packet delay and
achievable end-to-end goodput in a collision channel based multihop wireless ad hoc …

A major challenge to the mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is the ability to efficiently utilize the
available capacity. The exposed terminal problem (ETP) and the hidden terminal problem …

This paper presents the history-based scheduling (HBS) protocol for collision-free channel
access in ad hoc networks. In HBS, the channel is scheduled based on the history of activity …
