An asynchronous multi-channel MAC for improving channel utilization in VANET

Multi-Channel MAC Protocol Using Statistical Channel Utilization for Cognitive Networks

MAC Protocols for Multi-Channel WLANs

Wireless local area networks, in which every station can transmit via any one of the available operating channels, but only one channel at a time, are investigated. Two distributed random access protocols are proposed for these WLANs. The CSMA/CA protocol is similar to the IEEE 802.11 standard but with slight modifications for multiple operating channels. The fuzzy logic controlled protocol emp...

Least Channel Variation Multi-channel MAC (LCV-MMAC)

The use of multiple channels for transmissions has raised several challenges, for example, multi-channel hidden terminal problem, channel switching delay, and control channel saturation problem. Dedicated control channel techniques simplify channel coordination by eliminating the need for synchronization, however the control channel may become the bottleneck for the performance of the network. ...

A MAC Protocol for Multi-Channel Multi-Interface Wireless Mesh Network using Hybrid Channel Assignment Scheme

In recent years, Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) which uses a multi-hop configuration to extend the reach of the last-mile access to Internet has come into public notice. WMN improves network performance by the use of multiple orthogonal (non-overlapping) channels and multiple wireless interfaces. However, the Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol in IEEE 802.11 standard was designed and suited for ...

channel estimation for mimo-ofdm systems

تخمین دقیق مشخصات کانال در سیستم های مخابراتی یک امر مهم محسوب می گردد. این امر به ویژه در کانال های بیسیم با ‏خاصیت فرکانس گزینی و زمان گزینی شدید، چالش بزرگی است. مقالات متعدد پر از روش های مبتکرانه ای برای طراحی و آنالیز ‏الگوریتم های تخمین کانال است که بیشتر آنها از روش های خاصی استفاده می کنند که یا دارای عملکرد خوب با پیچیدگی ‏محاسباتی بالا هستند و یا با عملکرد نه چندان خوب پیچیدگی پایینی...
