Abstract:

We introduce AMAC, a MAC layer protocol for wireless networks with asymmetric links and study a protocol stack consisting of AMAC and the A$^4$LP routing protocol. The two protocols are able to maintain connectivity where the standard IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol coupled with either AODV or OLSR routing protocols may loose connectivity. A comparative study shows that AMAC improves on two previously proposed protocols' accuracy in determining the nodes to be silenced to prevent collisions.
