Cooperative vehicle safety systems (CVSSs) rely on vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs)
for the delivery of critical vehicle tracking information. The wireless channel in such systems …

Multi-hop wireless networks employing random access protocols have been shown to incur
large discrepancies in the throughputs achieved by the flows sharing the network. Indeed …

We develop a general model to estimate the throughput and goodput between arbitrary
pairs of nodes in the presence of interference from other nodes in a wireless network. Our …

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) require protocols that make judicious use of the limited
energy capacity of the sensor nodes. In this paper, the potential performance improvement …

Existing multi-channel protocols have been demonstrated to significantly increase
aggregate throughput compared to single-channel protocols. However, we show that …

Recently research interest in the performance analysis of wireless networks was revived. An
issue of an utmost importance in this class of networks, classified as one of the severest …

Complex interference in static multi-hop wireless mesh networks can adversely affect
transport protocol performance. Since TCP does not explicitly account for this, starvation and …

Due to its usefulness and wide deployment, IEEE 802.11 has been the subject of numerous
studies, but still lacks a complete analytical model. Hidden terminals are common in IEEE …

We address the problem of identifying high throughput paths in 802.11 wireless mesh
networks. We introduce an analytical model that accurately captures the 802.11 MAC …

We present a novel approach to optimize the performance of IEEE 802.11-based multi-hop
wireless networks. A unique feature of our approach is that it enables an accurate prediction …
