In IEEE 802.11 networks, wireless stations try to avoid congestions using the random backoff
algorithm in distributed coordination function (DCF); however, for a large number of nodes …

The IEEE 802.11 WLAN adopts a random backoff algorithm for its collision avoidance
mechanism, and it is well known that the contention-based algorithm may suffer from …

In unsupervised contention-based networks such as DCF mode of IEEE 802.11, wireless
nodes compete to access the shared medium which is called random access or multiple …

In MAC protocols of wireless ad hoc networks, there may be collisions due to traffic load and
it results in more energy consumption, delay and reduces throughput. In order to overcome …

Abstract In Ad Hoc networks, route failure may occur due to less received power, mobility,
congestion and node failures. Many approaches have been proposed in literature to solve …

The IEEE 802.11 standard uses Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance to
avoid multiple devices simultaneous transmitting on a shared transmission medium. In this …

IEEE 802.11 e is an extension of IEEE 802.11 that provides Quality of Service (QoS) for the
applications with different service requirements. This standard makes use of several …

A Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a network of wireless sensors and medical
equipments located inside or outside the human body for collecting biological signals for …

In IEEE 802.11 distributed coordination function (DCF) standard, binary exponential back-off
(BEB) mechanism is used to perform collision avoidance. And, contention slot selection …

Abstract Systems and methods are disclosed that may ensure equal medium access
between a first wireless device associated with a load based equipment (LBE) protocol and …
