Most of the existing medium access control (MAC) protocols for wireless local area networks (WLANs) provide prioritized access by adjusting the contention window sizes or interfram...
—Existing handover schemes in wireless LANs, 3G/4G networks, and femtocells rely upon protocols involving centralized authentication servers and one or more access points. These ...
— The paper focuses on multi-hop routing mechanism used in relay based WiMAX networks. The proposal how to acquire channel state information (CSI) on relay and access path for de...
Service-oriented architectures (SOAs) are a commonly used paradigm for IT infrastructures in various fields. Due to their flexibility and the easy accessibility of their underly...
— We present the results of simulation experiments that compare end-to-end error management (used in controlled access MAC protocols) against hop-by-hop error management (used in...
