The IEEE 802.11ah standard can provide cost-effective Internet access to a large number of devices in newly evolving Internet-of-Things (IoT) and machine-to-machine (M2M) networks. To handle high collision probability ...

Millimeter Wave (mmWave) communications are evolving as a potential and promising technology to address the ever increasing mobile data rate requirements. This paper addresses fair scheduling in directional antenna based ...

Multibeam antenna arrays (MBAAs) have the capability to improve the capacity of a wireless network by facilitating simultaneous transmissions to multiple users. However, in practical deployments of wireless personal or ...

The IEEE 802.11ah standard has been developed to provide Internet access to a large number of devices in the Internet of Things (IoT) and machine-to-machine (M2M) networks. To handle contention from a large number of devices ...

In this paper, a distributed base station cooperation-based handover management method is proposed for WiMAX Point-to-Multi-Point networks to provide quality of service to handover nodes. Moreover, a delay reduction method ...

IEEE 802.16 networks deployed in the mesh mode help to extend the coverage areas of the base stations (BSs). Two types of scheduling methods can be used in these networks: centralized and distributed scheduling. It is also ...

In this paper, we propose a novel handover management technique called PaRtIal path establishment based handover Management tEchnique (PRIME) for WiMAX based wireless mesh networks (WMNs). Different from the currently ...
