In this survey we attempt to describe the Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms employed by
Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols designed for ad-hoc networks. We begin with …

As a mathematical tool, game theory has been used for the analysis of multi-agent systems.
Wireless networks are typical examples of such systems, in which communicating nodes …

This thesis aims at contributing to the field of cooperative AHNs. The focus of this research is
on the relay based MAC layer: design of cooperative MAC protocols, performance …

Bajo la tecnología actual, el espectro radioeléctrico es un recurso natural finito por el cual se
propagan las ondas electromagnéticas. Estas dan lugar a las comunicaciones inalámbricas …

This deliverable describes user and technical requirements for the WIDENS system and
provides a first system architecture and technology specification. A short presentation of the …

Many Ad-hoc networks for military and public safety environments are characterized by:
large number of nodes in the same area (that means that frequency spatial reuse is less …

The combination of RTS/CTS and EIFS enhancements has not adequately addressed the
hidden terminal problem (HTP) in the receiver neighbourhood. The EIFS scheme protects …

Ultra wideband (UWB) technology has emerged as a solution for the wireless interface
between medical sensors and a personal server in future telemedicine systems. The …

Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) aims at the simultaneous transmissions among
mobile stations using orthogonal spreading codes where the spatial reuse of the codes is …

This thesis focuses on an Airplane-to-Airplane (A2A) communication system. We propose an
airplane black box data replication application that aims to replicate all black box data to …
