Nodes in a wireless network transmit messages through a shared medium. Thus, a Media Access Control (MAC) protocol is necessary to regulate and coordinate medium access. For some a...
— In this paper, we propose a contention based uplink Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol design for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) with Spatial Division Multiple Access (...
— Cognitive networks are the latest progression of cognitive functionality into the networking stack, an effort which began with a layer one and two focus on cognitive radios, an...
