In multihop wireless networks, designing distributed scheduling algorithms to achieve the
maximal throughput is a challenging problem because of the complex interference …

In the literature, asymptotic studies of multi-hop wireless network capacity often consider
only centralized and deterministic TDMA (time-division multi-access) coordination schemes …

Handling interference is one of the major challenges in the design of multi-user distributed
wireless systems. In current systems, interference is managed through carrier sensing …

IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol for medium access control in wireless Local Area Networks
(LANs) is the de facto standard for wireless ad hoc networks. However, it does not perform …

Initially, IEEE 802.11 standard was not designed for multihop networks, but its market
success gave it a powerful incentive, and nowadays IEEE 802.11 Working Group is …

Performance optimization of communication networks involves challenges at both the
engineering level and the human level. In the first part of the dissertation, we study a network …

The last few years have seen a tremendous increase in the deployment of 802.11 Wireless
Local Area Networks (WLANs). The proliferation of wireless users and the promise of …

Most studies for mobile ad hoc network (MANET) assume fixed communication
range/sensing range (CR/SR) without consideration of signal-to-interference ratio (SIR). In …

IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol for medium access control in wireless Local Area Networks
(LANs) is the de facto standard for wireless ad hoc networks, but it does not necessarily …

The conflict interference produced by the parallel transmission of the exposed nodes was
investigated, and a parallel MAC protocol based on geographical location information and …
