In this paper, we propose a new channel access protocol for transmission over cooperative ad-hoc networks. The proposed protocol, which aims at minimizing the number of blocked nodes and consequently improving the system throughput, employs directional antennas at both source and relay stations. The network performance under the proposed settings is modelled using continues Markov chains. Steady state...
The performance of prevalent MAC protocols in MANETs relies on the level of contention in networks. While contention-based MAC protocols such as CSMA suffer from inefficiency under high contention, slot-based MAC protocols such as TDMA perform in the opposite way. In this paper, we propose a hybrid protocol to which we refer as Load-Adaptive MAC (LA-MAC) protocol for MANETs. By adaptively switching...
In this paper we introduce a new MAC protocol called Continuous Contention-Assisted Transmission (CAT) for wireless Ad-hoc network. This proposed protocol is based on Carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) but we have modified the ACK packet and re-designed mobile stations behavior so that they could continuously transmit data without contention. Our proposed algorithm tries...
In this paper, we investigate the capacity of CSMA (carrier sense multiple access) based wireless multi-hop networks with random topologies described by the hop length distribution. First we develop an analytical model for the effective link capacity as a function of transmit power adaptation policy, physical carrier sense threshold, hop length distribution and medium access probability of p-persistent...
