This paper proposes a semi-random backoff (SRB) method that enables resource
reservation in contention-based wireless LANs. The proposed SRB is fundamentally …

Collisions are a main cause of throughput degradation in wireless local area networks. The
current contention mechanism used in the IEEE 802.11 networks is called carrier sense …

Carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) in current IEEE 802.11
wireless local area networks (WLANs) uses a uniformly distributed binary exponential …

Wi-Fi devices operate following the 802.11 distributed coordination function in order to fairly
use the channel that the devices share. However, the throughput performance of the Wi-Fi …

This paper focuses on designing a medium access control and channel usage algorithm in
multi-rate wireless local area networks for improving the efficiency and fairly sharing channel …

In this paper a candidate protocol to replace the prevalent CSMA/CA medium access control
in Wireless Local Area Networks is presented. The proposed protocol can achieve higher …

Carrier sense multiple access with enhanced collision avoidance (CSMA/ECA) is a
distributed MAC protocol that allows collision-free access to the medium in WLANs. The only …

Collisions are a main cause of throughput degradation in Wireless LANs. The current
contention mechanism for these networks is based on a random backoff strategy to avoid …

Packet collisions caused by the standard Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) protocol
in wireless local area networks (WLANs) have been a challenging problem leading to …
