Wireless networks differ from their wired counterparts in that communication between nodes takes place over a "link" using an RF, acoustic, optical, or other si

As wireless technology becomes increasingly pervasive, there is a need for decentralized medium access control (MAC) protocols that satisfy user requirements at

The next-generation wireless networks are expected to integrate diverse network architectures and various wireless access technologies to provide a robust solut

A Markovian framework is also developed for the powerline domain and is used to present such modifications in the existing protocol for medium access as are sho

This brief investigates distributed medium access control (MAC) with QoS provisioning for both single- and multi-hop wireless networks including wireless local
