In this paper, a unified analytical framework is established to study the stability, throughput,
and delay performance of homogeneous buffered IEEE 802.11 networks with Distributed …

According to the latest version of the IEEE 802.11 standard, the backoff parameters of its
collision avoidance mechanism are far from optimal, especially in a heavy load or error …

License-assisted access (LAA) is a candidate feature in 3GPP Rel-13 to meet the explosive
growth of traffic demand. The main idea of LAA is to deploy LTE in the unlicensed band …

The persistent relay carrier sensing multiple access (PRCSMA) protocol is presented in this
paper as a novel medium access control (MAC) protocol that allows for the execution of a …

This article considers an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) scenario, where wireless devices
embedded with sensors are deployed over an industrial machine, and transmit the …

Performance modeling of wireless access technologies is useful to understand their
limitations in various operational conditions and find a way to improve their performance. In …

Fast association aims to quickly associate a large number of stations with an access point in
802.11 ah networks. Existing fast association mechanisms suffer from efficiency, fairness …

Currently, few real sensor Web applications are being explored and some of them are yet to
come. Meanwhile, developing and deploying prototypes in order to analyze the sensor Web …

IEEE 802.11 ah is an emerging wireless LAN standard in the sub-1-GHz license-exempt
bands for cost-effective and range-extended communication. One of the most challenging …

In this paper, we study the performance of 802.11 wireless local area networks (WLANs) and
propose a distributed packet scheduling scheme that improves the short-term fairness …
