Final Activity Report Summary - MACNET-UWB (Design and Analysis of Medium Access Control and Network Protocols for Ultra-Wideband Ad Hoc Networks)
In particular, novel protocols for distributed throughput maximisation, topology maintenance and Medium access control (MAC) were developed. In addition, fundamental limits regarding the performance of distributed algorithms in wireless networks were obtained. The various contributions included, for example, the first distributed scheduling framework that guaranteed maximum throughput in networks with stochastic packet arrivals, algorithms for topology maintenance in mobile backbone networks and MAC protocols for UWB networks.
