The rapid growth of WiFi over the past two years reveals the willingness of the Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) to develop this technology and the interest of the users in this new service. However, the lack of unified roaming slows down the de ...
In this paper, we propose to apply Contention-Based Forwarding (CBF) to Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs). CBF is a greedy position-based forwarding algorithm that does not require proactive transmission of beacon messages. CBF performance is analyzed usi ...
In multi-hop wireless networks, every node is expected to forward packets for the benefit of other nodes. Yet, if each node is its own authority, then it may selfishly deny packet forwarding in order to save its own resources. Some researchers have propose ...
Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) is an emerging wireless physical layer technology that uses a very large bandwidth. We are interested in finding the design objectives of the medium access (MAC, namely, power control and scheduling) and routing protocols of a multi-h ...
Existing position-based unicast routing algorithms which forward packets in the geographic direction of the destination require that the forwarding node knows the positions of all neighbors in its transmission range. This information on direct neighbors is ...
We consider the question of what performance metric to maximize when designing ad-hoc wireless network protocols such as routing or MAC. We focus on maximizing rates under battery lifetime and power constraints. Commonly used metrics are total capacity (in ...
In this paper, we propose a power control strategy for distributed wireless networks by using a quadratic state-space control design. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed power control algorithm. ...

Abstract—In this paper, a model is proposed to analyze the influence of timing imperfections on ultra-wide bandwidth (UWB) time-hopping spread-spectrum (TH-SS) signaling schemes, where N pulses are coherently added to increase the received signal-tonoise r ...
