MAC protocol design considerations for efficient mobility in wireless sensor networks
… computational algorithms and communication protocols for WSNs focus more on energy conservation rather than throughput and delay as in other wireless networks. Recently, WSN research has grown from static to mobile sensor networks (MSNs). However, there are some weaknesses in the standard …

Enhancing the energy efficiency of ultra wideband (UWB) based media access control (MAC) protocols in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) through the use of steerable directional antenna
… wide attention. The aim of this research is to design, implement and test an improved Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for UWB systems in order to minimise energy consumption in MANET’s through the application of directional antenna. Building on initial testing in the QualNet Simulator; a …

Implanted Antennas and Intra-Body Propagation Channel for Wireless Body Area Network
… e-health care and hyperthermia applications. The design of WBAN faces many challenges, such as frequency band selection, channel modeling, antenna design, physical layer (PHY) protocol design, medium access control (MAC) protocol design and power source. This research focuses on the design of …

Towards next generation WLANs: exploiting coordination and cooperation
… usage over the past few years. The corresponding MAC/PHY specification, the IEEE 802.11 standard, has also evolved to adapt to such development. However, as the number of WLAN mobile users increases, and as their needs evolve in the face of new applications, there is an ongoing need for the …
