Cognitive radios (CRs) are emerging as a promising technology to enhance spectrum
utilization through opportunistic on-demand access. Many MAC protocols for cognitive radio …

Abstract The Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) protocol stack has been
recently defined to enable vehicular communication on the Dedicated Short Range …

Dynamic resource availability and lack of central control unit offer many challenges while
designing medium access control (MAC) protocol for a distributed cognitive radio network …

In this paper, an integrated hardware and software system for a cognitive-radio wireless
sensor network (CR-WSN) is designed and implemented for event detection and monitoring …

In this paper, we have explored a novel concept of the medium access control (MAC)
protocol for the distributed cognitive radio network. We have implemented the backoff …

Conventional wireless broadcast protocols rely heavily on the 802.11-based CSMA/CA
model, which avoids interference and collision by conservative scheduling of transmissions …

With the fast proliferation of low-cost and low-power devices, numerous consumer electronic
devices have been deployed to create consumer home automation networks (CHANs). In …

In interference-rich and noisy environment, wireless communication is often hampered by
unreliable communication links. Recently, there has been active research on cooperative …

The IEEE community is working on the wireless access in vehicular environments as a main
technology for vehicular ad hoc networks. The medium access control (MAC) protocol of this …

Abstract Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET) is seen as an emerging solution to improve
road safety, highway assistance and traveler comfort accounting to vivid applications …
