The growing demands of ubiquitous computing are leading towards the densification of wireless access networks. The challenges of high density deployments can be addressed by network-wide centralized control. To this end we propose CADWAN-a Control …
Current advancements within the WiFi domain, such as network densification, traffic offloading, and IoT support, pave the way for increased user and operator satisfaction with future (5G and beyond) network deployments. However, without seamless …
Recent advances in wireless networking technologies are leading toward the proliferation of novel home network applications. However, the landscape of emerging scenarios is fragmented due to their varying technological requirements and the …
Two amendments to IEEE 802.11 have recently been published: 802.11aa and 802.11ae. Both enhance Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning in Wi-Fi networks by providing support for multicast transmission, enhanced audio video streaming, coping with …
In this survey we attempt to describe the Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms employed by Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols designed for ad-hoc networks. We begin with background information: an overview of the related work, the definition of QoS …
In this paper, we suggest the use of the chi‐square test for detecting backoff misbehaviour in IEEE 802.11 EDCA networks. A performance evaluation is performed to compare the chi‐square test with two other methods, known in the literature. To perform …
Ad-hoc networking is becoming a promising solution to increase the radio coverage of wireless systems. Integrated mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs), considered as multi-hop networks connected to fixed networks through one or more gateways, seem to be …
