Detecting MAC Layer Back-off Timer Violations in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
In IEEE 802.11 based ad hoc networks, by simply manipulating the back-off timers and/or wait times prior to transmission, malicious nodes can cause a drastically reduced allocatio...

Impact of Upper Layer Adaptation on End-to-end Delay Management in Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
A good amount of research has been developed to support QoS issues in IEEE 802.11 ad hoc networks, such as QoS routing, MAC layer QoS support, and cross-layer QoS design. However,...
