The use of variable data rate can reduce network latency and average power consumption,
and automatic rate selection is critical for improving scalability and minimizing network …

Recently, up to 7 GHz license-free spectrum around 60 GHz has been allocated worldwide
for high data rate wireless communications. This enables the deployment of WPANs at 60 …

Systems, methods, and devices for communicating packets having a plurality of types are
described herein. In some aspects, the packets include a MAC header with a frame control …

Many recent advances in MAC protocols for wireless sensor networks propose to reduce
idle listening. Sending nodes transmit long preambles or repeated advertisements for …

Among all MAC protocols, random medium access control (MAC) protocols have been
widely studied for wireless networks due to its low cost and easy implementation. IEEE …

In this letter, we propose a frame‐size adaptive MAC protocol for high rate wireless personal
area networks (WPANs). In the proposed scheme, during communication, frame error rate is …

During the past decade, there has been much standardization effort for indoor or shot-range
networks, as communication devices and applications for such networks populate. As a …
