Abstract— Limited resources and time-varying nature of wireless ad hoc networks demand optimized use of resources across layers. Cross-layer optimization (CLO) for wireless netwo...
— Many distributed multiple access (MAC) protocols use an exponential backoff mechanism. In that mechanism, a node picks a random backoff time uniformly in an interval that doubl...
Abstract The Internet provides a ubiquitous, standards-based substrate for global communications of all kinds. Rapid advances are now being made in agreeing protocols and machine-p...
— Scheduling in an ad hoc wireless network suffers from the non-convexity of the cost function, caused by the interference between communication links. In previous optimization t...
—Coupling Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) with wired networks such as the Internet via access points creates a difficult mix of highly mobile nodes and a static infrastructur...
