We develop three functions around the MAC layer: (1) Pseudo broadcast is a technique used to improve throughput of broadcast transmissions in case of congested networks. The mechanism consists in sending a packet in unicast to a station using RTS/CTS. Othe ...
The low-power communication in wireless sensor networks can be impacted by severe channel impairments. In this paper, to address this problem and achieve high network goodput, we propose that the medium access control protocol takes into consideration the ...
IEEE 802.11 is probably the most widely used, medium access control protocol in current wireless networks. In the Wireless LAN (i.e., single-hop) setting, its performance is by now quite well understood. However, in the multi-hop setting where relay nodes ...
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 ...
IEEE 802.11 works properly only if the stations respect the MAC protocol. We show in this paper that a greedy user can substantially increase his share of bandwidth, at the expense of the other users, by slightly modifying the driver of his network adapter ...
We consider the joint design of rate adaptation, power adaptation and mutual exclusion for the MAC layer of a multi-hop, ad-hoc wireless network. We assume the physical layer supports a variable bit-rate. Most of the existing MACs analyze impacts of only o ...
We consider a cross-layer design of wireless ad-hoc networks. Traditional networking approaches optimize separately each of the three layers: physical layer, medium access and routing. This may lead to largely suboptimal network designs. In this work, we p ...
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 ...
A wireless sensor network designates a system composed of numerous sensor nodes distributed over an area in order to collect information. The sensor nodes communicate wirelessly with each other in order to self-organize into a multi-hop network, collaborat ...
We present an architecture for implementing a wireless physical layer in a packet-based network simulator. We have integrated this architecture in the popular ns-2 network simulator and used it to implement an impulse-radio ultra-wide band (IR-UWB) physica ...
