The medium access control protocol determines system throughput in wireless mobile ad
hoc networks following the ieee 802.11 standard. Under this standard, asynchronous data …

The Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol is the main element which determines the
system throughput in Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) IEEE 802.11 standard. The …

Given the limited channel capacity in wireless LANs, it is important to achieve high
throughput and good fairness through medium access control (MAC) schemes. Although …

In this paper, we propose a new medium access control (MAC) scheme called dynamic
contention window adjustment (DCWA) in saturated load conditions, which dynamically …

Due to hidden terminals and a dynamic topology, contention among stations in an ad-hoc
network is not homogeneous. Some stations are at a disadvantage in opportunity of access …

The IEEE 802.11 medium access control (MAC) is a very robust protocol for the best effort
service in the wireless medium. However, many studies have reported that it is not very …

The medium access control (MAC) protocol through which mobile stations can share a
common broadcast channel is essential in an ad-hoc network. Due to the existence of …

Medium access control protocol plays an important role in providing fair and efficient
allocation of limited bandwidth in wireless LANs. The basic medium access model in the …

In this paper, we present a simple method to simultaneously enhance collision avoidance
efficiency and short-term fairness of a most popular contention based medium access …

This paper presents a scheme, called the virtual backoff algorithm (VBA), which is based on
the sequencing technique for efficient medium-access control. The proposed method …
