The ever-increasing demand for unlicensed spectrum has prompted regulators in the US
and Europe to consider opening up the 6 GHz bands for unlicensed access. These bands …

Nowadays, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has captured great attentions for its versatility,
flexibility, and low-cost. In this paper, we consider a high altitude platform (HAP) assisted …

The development of smart grid technologies has resulted in increased interdependence
between power and communication systems. Many of the operations in the existing power …

Improving the quality of service (QoS) performance to support existing and upcoming real-
time applications is critical for IEEE 802.11 n/ac devices. The mechanisms of the media …

We study a scenario where a monitor is interested in the freshest possible update from a
remote sensor. The monitor also seeks to minimize the number of updates that exceed a …

The MAC layer of the IEEE 802.11 standard deploys a CSMA/CA protocol to regulate the
access to the shared medium. Not only other IEEE 802.11 stations but also non-IEEE 802.11 …

Traditional rogue access-point (AP) detection mechanisms are employed in network
administration to protect network infrastructure and organization; however, these …

In 2016, the IEEE task group ah (TGah) published a new standard IEEE 802.11 ah, aimed at
providing network connectivity among a large number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices …

This paper proposes and studies performance of the IEEE 802.11 distributed coordination
function (DCF) with new backoff functions, which are analyzed under saturation conditions …

This paper presents an approach for low-cost simulation modeling for application
development for wireless sensor networks. Computational complexity of simulating wireless …
