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 …

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 …

Safety related VANET messages have localized spatial scope and limited time relevance. A
MAC protocol should exploit the unique VANET characteristics like restricted mobility in one …

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 …

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

The ability to perform traffic differentiation is a promising feature of the current Medium
Access Control (MAC) in Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs). The Enhanced Distributed …

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 …

Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Enhanced Collision Avoidance (CSMA/ECA) is a
recently proposed modification to the well-known CSMA/CA protocol. By using a …

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 …
