A set of optimum mode-switching levels is derived for a generic constant-power adaptive-modulation scheme based on a closed-form expression of the ave...

Blind beamforming based on the maximum signal-to-noise ratio (MSNR) can improve the performance of the array system only when the processing gain of t...

The medium-access control (MAC) protocol is one of the key components in wireless local area networks (WLANs). The main features of a MAC protocol are...

In this paper, the multiple fractional channel reservation (MFCR) strategy for service differentiation is proposed. MFCR overcomes the "integer nature...

Exact and closed-form expressions for the level crossing rate and average fade duration are presented for the M branch pure selection combining (PSC),...
