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

Despite the wide improvement in wireless sensor networks, energy consumption is still
considered as the most important challenge in this kind of network. Previous research …

We design an efficient sensing order selection strategy for a distributed cognitive radio (CR)
network, where two or more autonomous CRs sense the channels sequentially (in some …

In recent years, wireless communication has been widely adopted in the field of industrial
systems. Compared with traditional wired control and monitoring systems, wireless control …

This paper presents CSMA/ECA, which combines the efficiency of reservation-based
protocols and the simplicity of random access mechanisms. The maximum efficiency of …

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 …

In the domain of wireless networking, the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision
Avoidance (CSMA/CA) has a wide range of applications. Based on CSMA/CA, the IEEE …

In IEEE 802.11 based WLAN standard, distributed coordination function is the fundamental
medium access control (MAC) technique. It employs a CSMA/CA with random binary …

IEEE 802.11 distributed coordination function,(DCF), provides contention-based distributed
channel access for stations to share the wireless medium. However, Performance of IEEE …

CSMA/ECA is a modification of CSMA/CA that delivers higher performance by reducing the
number of collisions. This paper presents an algorithm to adapt a configuration parameter of …
