Abstract
In recent years, a wide variety of mobile computing devices have emerged, including portables, palmtops, and personal digital assistants. Providing adequate network connectivity for these devices will require a new generation of wireless LAN technology. In this paper we study media access protocols for wireless LAN. We describe an improved carrier-sense multiple access (CSMA) protocol for ad hoc networks, which is different from the RTS/CTS mechanism, to improve the performance of the system.
