This work presents a TDMA based multi-channel MAC protocol called TMMAC for Ad Hoc
Networks. TMMAC requires only a single half-duplex radio transceiver on each node. In …

(MAC) protocol for ad hoc wireless networks that can utilize multiple channels dynamically to
improve performance. IEEE 802.11 standard provides multiple channels for use, but its MAC …

Traditionally, all devices of an ad hoc wireless network uses the same frequency band (or
channel) for communication. Quite often, however, multiple channels are available but each …

This paper presents a TDMA based energy efficient cognitive radio multichannel medium
access control (MAC) protocol called ECR-MAC for wireless Ad Hoc Networks. ECR-MAC …

In a mobile ad hoc network (MANET), one essential issue is Medium Access Control (MAC),
which addresses how to utilize the radio spectrum efficiently and to resolve potential …

Recent studies have shown that the widely used IEEE 802.11 MAC is considerably
inefficient in multihop networks. The inefficiency is due to the hidden terminal problem, the …

This paper presents a protocol which improves on the power saving mechanism in the IEEE
802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF). In the power saving mechanism (PSM) for …

We propose a CDMA-based power controlled medium access protocol for mobile ad hoc
networks (MANETs). Unlike previously proposed protocols, ours accounts for the multiple …

Some wireless MAC protocols such as IEEE 802.11 were not designed to capitalize on the
available multiple channels in an efficient manner. In this paper, we propose a novel multi …

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