Motivation

The problem of coordinating the access to a shared medium is a central challenge in wireless networks. In order to solve this problem, a proper medium access control (MAC) protocol is needed. Ideally, such a protocol should not only be able to use the wireless medium as effectively as possible, but it should also be robust against a wide range of interference problems including jamming attacks. Interference problems from outside sources are usually ignored in theory but in practice it is important to take these into account, particularly because the ISM frequency band, which is the standard band used for wireless communication, is one of the most dirty frequency bands as it is affected by many devices like microwaves.
