—It is well known that IEEE 802.11 provides a physical layer multirate capability and, hence, MAC layer mechanisms are needed to exploit this capability. Several solutions have b...
Future vehicular networks are expected to deploy shortrange communication technology for inter-vehicle communication. In addition to vehicle-to-vehicle communication, users will b...
A new modeling framework is introduced for the analytical study of medium access control (MAC) protocols operating in multihop ad hoc networks. The model takes into account the eï...

Abstract--There has been a great deal of attention on cooperative communication which exploits the spatial diversity among antennas belonging to multiple terminals. Most of the exi...
This paper discusses the ideal shapes of control frames (i.e., RTS/CTS frames) in the IEEE 802.11 MAC layer for efficient power control and directional beam forming in mobile ad h...
