LTDA-MAC v2.0: Topology-Aware Unsynchronized Scheduling in Linear Multi-Hop UWA Networks

TDMA Delay Aware Link Scheduling for Multi-hop Wireless Networks

Time division multiple access (TDMA) based medium access control (MAC) protocols can provide QoS with guaranteed access to wireless channel. However, in multi-hop wireless networks, these protocols may introduce delay when packets are forwarded from an inbound link to an outbound link on a node. Delay occurs if the outbound link is scheduled to transmit before the inbound link. The total round ...

A Hidden Node Aware Network Allocation Vector Management System for Multi-hop Wireless Ad hoc Networks

Many performance evaluations for IEEE 802.11distributed coordination function (DCF) have been previouslyreported in the literature. Some of them have clearly indicatedthat 802.11 MAC protocol has poor performance in multi-hopwireless ad hoc networks due to exposed and hidden nodeproblems. Although RTS/CTS transmission scheme mitigatesthese phenomena, it has not been successful in thoroughlyomit...

IRMA: Integrated Routing and MAC Scheduling in Multi-hop Wireless Mesh Networks

This paper presents an integrated routing and MAC scheduling algorithm (IRMA) for improving system performance in multihop wireless mesh networks. The IRMA approach is motivated by the fact that conventional contention-based MAC protocols such as 802.11 do not perform well in combination with independent ad hoc routing protocols such as DSR, DSDV or AODV due to interactions between neighboring ...
