Impact of Turnaround Time on Wireless Mac Protocols
نویسندگان
چکیده
Media access control (MAC) protocols for mobile ad-hoc networks are of interest in applications ranging from wireless local area networks (WLANs) to global skywave highfrequency radio networks. Much of the recent work in wireless MAC protocols has emphasized networks with short turnaround times (e.g., IEEE 802.11 WLANs). However, some wireless networks suffer lengthy turnaround times in the physical layer. This paper explores the interaction of turnaround time with various types of MAC protocols, and offers guidance for selecting an efficient wireless MAC protocol.

Multi-channel Medium Access Control Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks: A Survey
Extensive researches on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been performed and many techniques have been developed for the data link (MAC) layer. Most of them assume single-channel MAC protocols. In the usual dense deployment of the sensor networks, single-channel MAC protocols may be deficient because of radio collisions and limited bandwidth. Hence, using multiple channels can significantly ...
