Wireless mesh networking is emerging as an important architecture for future-generation wireless communications systems. Quality of service provisioning is a challenging issue in ...
—In this paper, we present a model to analyze the performance of wireless ad hoc networks with smart antennas, i.e. directional antennas with adjustable transmission power. Our r...
Abstract--CSMA is the predominant distributed access protocol for wireless mesh networks. Originally designed for singlehop settings, in multi-hop networks CSMA can exhibit severe ...

— A class of CSMA protocols used in a broad range of wireless applications uses synchronized contention where nodes periodically contend at intervals of fixed duration. While se...
This paper presents a header compression algorithm that unlike previous protocols is capable of compressing MAC headers in a multiple-access (shared) channel. Previous schemes coul...
