Abstract Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have great potential to revolutionize the future of
automotive, energy, and healthcare sectors by working as wireless relays to improve …

As wireless devices boom and bandwidth-hungry applications (eg, video and cloud
uploading) get popular, today's wireless local area networks (WLANs) become not only …

With smart devices, particular smartphones, becoming our everyday companions, the
ubiquitous mobile Internet and computing applications pervade people daily lives. With the …

The phenomenal growth of mobile data demand has brought about increasing scarcity in
available radio spectrum. Meanwhile, mobile customers pay more attention to their own …

In this paper, we propose a distributed and adaptive hybrid medium access control (DAH-
MAC) scheme for a single-hop Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled mobile ad hoc network …

In dense IEEE 802.11 networks, improving the efficiency of contention-based media access
control is an important and challenging issue. Recently, the IEEE802. 11ah Task Group has …

The pervasive adoption of IEEE 802.11 radios in the past decade has made possible for the
easy Internet access from a vehicle, notably drive-thru Internet. Originally designed for the …

This paper proposes a multi-channel token ring media access control (MAC) protocol
(MCTRP) for inter-vehicle communications (IVC). Through adaptive ring coordination and …

Long-Term Evolution (LTE) over unlicensed spectrum extends LTE technology to the
spacious unlicensed spectrum with readily available bandwidth. The provided capacity …

In the interworking between a cellular network and wireless local area networks (WLANs), a
two-tier overlaying structure exists in the WLAN-covered areas. Due to the heterogeneous …
