Abstract— By means of so-called Scatternets, Bluetooth provides the ability to construct robust wireless multi-hop networks. In this paper we propose a practical protocol for tim...
Understanding the performance of backoff algorithms in multihop ad hoc networks is a key feature to design efficient Medium Access Protocols for wireless networks. The 802.11 bac...
