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

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

CSMA with Enhanced Collision Avoidance (CSMA/ECA) uses a deterministic backoff after
successful transmissions to significantly reduce the number of collisions. This paper …

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 …

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 wireless local area networks (WLANs) have reached an important stage and
become a common technology for wireless access due to its low cost, ease of deployment …
