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 …

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 …

In the last years, there has been an increasing interest in developing and testing Medium
Access Control (MAC) protocols for ad hoc networks based on optimal methods. The …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

The mobile ad hoc network (MANET) architecture has received a lot of attention recently.
This paper considers the access of multiple channels in a MANET characterized by multi …

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 …

Power conservation and throughput management is a major issue in Mobile Ad Hoc
Networks. In the design of wireless ad hoc networks, various techniques are applied to …
