We derive performance expressions for the throughput and blocking probability for a class of wireless networks with a clustering protocol. The nodes are assumed stationary and establish connections with the master node according to a priority scheme that r ...
Due to environmental concerns and strict constraints on interference imposed on other networks, the radiated power of emerging pervasive wireless networks needs to be strictly limited, yet without sacrificing acceptable data rates. Pulsed Time-Hopping Ultr ...
Multi-hop ad-hoc networks consist of nodes which cooperate by forwarding packets for each other to allow communication beyond the power range of each node. In pure ad-hoc networks, no additional infrastructure is required to allow the nodes to communicate. ...
We propose a MAC protocol for very low radiated power (1 microwatt) ultra-wide band (UWB) mobile ad-hoc networks. Unlike traditional approaches, our protocol fully utilizes the specific nature of the physical layer of UWB. This makes it possible to reach a ...
We present a joint PHY/MAC architecture (DCC-MAC) for 802.15.4a-like networks based on PPM-UWB. Unlike traditional approaches it fully utilizes the specific nature of UWB to achieve high rates at low protocol complexity. It is the first MAC protocol that a ...
The automatic configuration of Access Points (APs) is a new subject, since the Wi-Fi technology, which underlies hotspots by a wireless local area network, appears on the world market in 2001. The first market relevance has been in 2002. APs channel assign ...
We consider the problem of how throughput in a wireless network with randomly located nodes scales as the number of users grows. Following the physical model of Gupta and Kumar, we show that randomly scattered nodes can achieve the optimal 1/sqrt(n) per-no ...
This paper presents a new perspective to the design of wireless networks using the proposed dynamic data type refinement methodology. In the forthcoming years, new portable devices will execute wireless network applications with extensive computational dem ...
Significant progress has been made towards making ad hoc networks secure and DoS resilient. However, little attention has been focused on quantifying DoS resilience: Do ad hoc networks have sufficiently redundant paths and counter-DoS mechanisms to make Do ...
A robust algorithm is developed for jointly controlling the power and rate of flow in a distributed wireless network. The dynamics of the network is modelled as a discrete-time state-delayed system with uncertainties and the proposed algorithm achieves bet ...
