Optimized Energy Consumption for Slotted Aloha and CSMA/CA Multihop Ad Hoc Networks

LEBRP - A Lightweight and Energy Balancing Routing Protocol for Energy-Constrained Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

A wireless ad hoc network typically refers to any set of wireless networks where all devices have equal status on a network and are free to associate with any other wireless ad hoc network devices in their range. As the nature of these networks, they commonly do not have external power supplies, and each node has a limited internal power source. In this paper, we put forward a new routing proto...

DOA-ALOHA: Slotted ALOHA for Ad Hoc Networking Using Smart Antennas

This paper develops a novel slotted ALOHA protocol (Direction-Of-Arrival ALOHA) for use in ad hoc networks where nodes are equipped with smart antennas. The protocol relies on the ability of the antenna and DOA algorithms to identify the direction of the desired signal and the direction of the interferers to maximize SINR (Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio) at the receiver. The performance...

Multihop Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

An ad hoc network is a collection of mobile nodes using wireless network interfaces to communicate among themselves, discovering and routing along possibly multihop routes to each other without the assistance of fixed infrastructure. In this paper, we describe the design and demonstration of a set of simple routing protocol mechanisms that substantially improve the transmission of real-time mul...
