Efficient Wireless Lan MAC Protocols for Ad-hoc Networks

摘要

In designing WLAN MAC protocols, several is- sues must be considered. Among them, the hidden-terminal and exposed-terminal problems are two of the most important issues. The hidden-terminal problem has been analyzed by many re- searchers and significant improvements have been made. The exposed-terminal problem, however, has not been fully consid- ered in the design of WLAN MAC protocols. In this paper, we propose two protocols.
