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 …
