Interference has always been considered as an unavoidable peril in wireless networks. A
single data transmission is useful to some nodes and becomes interference to others. Based …

Most limitations in mechanisms geared at achieving quality-of-service (QoS) in wireless ad
hoc networking can be traced to solutions based on mapping wireless networks to a wireline …

Smart antennas can increase the capacity of mesh networks and reduce the susceptibility of
individual nodes to interception and jamming, but creating the conditions that allow them to …

A multi-tone synchronous collision resolution system permits communication nodes within a
MANET to contend simultaneously for a plurality of available channels. The communication …

The traditional approach to managing radio frequency (RF) spectrum concludes with a
spectrum management administration identifying how a band of spectrum may be used in a …

In today's wireless networks, stations using the IEEE 802.11 Standard contend for the
channel using the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF). Research has shown that DCF's …

This paper proposes a new principle for designing MAC protocols for CDMA-based ad hoc
networks-inducing spatial clustering in contending transmitters/receivers. We first highlight …

Carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) protocols require stations that wish to transmit to first
check the shared medium for ongoing transmissions. However, in wireless networks stations …

Currently, spectrum management is a very deliberate process principled by the study of
interference among users. The reliance on study makes spectrum management inefficient …

Considering n nodes performing random access using ALOHA with s slots, we study the
probability that there occurs a non-colliding message in the first non-empty slot. If each node …
