Improving the Capacity in Wireless Ad Hoc Networks through Multiple Channel Operation: Design Principles and Protocols

Design of multichannel MAC protocols for wireless ad hoc networks

Medium access control (MAC) protocols coordinate channel access between wireless stations, and they significantly affect the network throughput of wireless ad-hoc networks. MAC protocols that are based on a multichannel model can increase the throughput by enabling more simultaneous transmission pairs in the network. In this paper, we comprehensively compare different design methods for multich...

Routing Protocols for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

This paper presents two hierarchical routing protocols. Hierarchical state routing protocol and Fisheye state routing protocol. The former is a multilevel routing protocol that provides nodes’ clustering in multiple levels, while the latter uses the fisheye technique to reduce the routing overhead. They both employ a hierarchical control structure and try to provide better routing solutions.

Capacity Evaluation of Multi-Channel Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

In this paper, we evaluate the capacity of multi-channel, multi-hop ad hoc network. In particular, we show the performance of multi-hop ad hoc network with single channel IEEE 802.11 MAC utilizing different topologies. We also introduce scaling laws of throughputs for large-scale ad hoc networks and propose the theoretical guaranteed throughput bounds for multi-channel grid topology systems. We...
