In this paper, a modified version of the IEEE 802.11a protocol is proposed and evaluated. We combine MultiCarrier Code Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA), a novel, high capacity m...
— Medium access control (MAC) protocols for wireless packet networks usually need to be distributed for flexibility and robustness. In a distributed way, however, collision dete...
Abstract—Rate Adaptation for 802.11 has been deeply investigated in the past, but the problem of achieving optimal Rate Adaptation with respect not only to channel-related errors...
Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) are being deployed at a rapid pace and in different environments. As a result, the demand for supporting a diverse range of applications over w...
—Underwater Sensor Networks are typically distributed in nature and the nodes communicate using acoustic waves over a wireless medium. Such networks are characterized by long and...
