Abstract: We investigate the impact of combined multi-rate and routing operations in multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks in which nodes employ 802.11-based CSMA/CA MAC protocols. To measure the ability ...

In this paper, we introduce the Cross Layer Power Adaptive CSMA/CA (X-PACCA) protocol for SPUASN. Fully free from energy constraints of traditional protocols, X-PACCA integrates MAC, network, and ...
