This paper presents a general model to study the medium access control (MAC) layer performance and equilibrium of WLANs consisting of nodes with different MAC parameters (e.g., ba...
— Unlike terrestrial networks that mainly rely on radio waves for communications, underwater networks utilize acoustic waves, which have comparatively lower loss and longer range...
The paper presents a detailed discussion of various issues involved in designing a medium access control (MAC) protocol for multihop wireless networks with nodes employing multiple...
Mobility in wireless sensor networks poses unique challenges to the medium access control (MAC) protocol design. Previous MAC protocols for sensor networks assume static sensor no...
Abstract— A distributed medium access control (MAC) algorithm for uplink OFDMA networks under the IEEE 802.16 framework is proposed and analyzed in this work. We present a simple...
