Definitions

Adaptive medium access control (MAC) for Internet-of-Things (IoT)-based ad hoc networking refers to a distributed (infrastructure-less) link-layer mechanism to coordinate channel access for data transmissions from a varying number of IoT devices, generating either delay-sensitive services or data-hungry applications. The adaptive MAC should achieve and maintain high performance for heterogeneous services with differentiated quality-of-service (QoS) requirements (e.g., delay and throughput) in network traffic load dynamics.

Background and Key Applications

Next-generation wireless networks are envisioned to interconnect a proliferation of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices (e.g., smartphones, smart sensors and actuators, home appliances) to achieve seamless communication interaction and diversified...
