Studies of ad hoc wireless networks are a relatively new field gaining more popularity for
various new applications. In these networks, the Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols …

Wireless technologies, such as IEEE 802.11 a, that are used in ad hoc networks provide for
multiple non-overlapping channels. Most ad hoc network protocols that are currently …

Multi-frequency media access control has been well understood in general wireless ad hoc
networks, while in wireless sensor networks, researchers still focus on single frequency …

Existing multi-channel protocols have been demonstrated to significantly increase
aggregate throughput compared to single-channel protocols. However, we show that …

Research in the physical (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) layers for dynamic
spectrum access (DSA) and dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) is still at its infancy. Aspects …

With the exciting progress of wireless sensor net-work (WSN) research, we envision that in 5-
10 years, the world will be full of low power wireless sensor devices. Due to the independent …

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have been proposed as an effective solution for ubiquitous
last-mile broadband access. Three key factors that affect the usability of WMNs are high …

A wireless ad hoc network is a collection of wireless nodes that can dynamically self-
organize into an arbitrary and temporary topology to form a network without necessarily …

We consider the channel assignment problem for multihop wireless networks in which
nodes have multiple interfaces. Given the number of interfaces at each node and available …

Cognitive radios (CR) have the ability to dynamically adapt to local spectrum availability. In a
multi-hop wireless network comprised of CR-enabled devices, medium access control …
