IEEE 802.11 is an standard for wireless LANs that specifies the characteristics of physical and MAC layer. Availability and capability of IEEE 802.11 makes it the first choice for car-to-car communication in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). Also, the result of different studies shows that contention-based solutions like IEEE 802.11 DCF outperforms contention-free solutions [no reference yet].

In IEEE 802.11 standard, RTS/CTS handshaking eliminates the collision but this mechanism can not be used in broadcast communication because in this case there are multiple nodes would need to answer to the same RTS message that results in collision. Moreover, the same problem appears in the case of ACK message. Consequently, not only it can not eliminate the hidden nodes, but collision detection is also impossible. Therefore, it results in low reliability in broadcast communication comparison to unicast communication.

In mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), research community mainly focused on multi-hop communication and not one-hop broadcast messages. But oliveira et al. [1] Shows that DCF performances significantly drops when broadcast traffic occupies more than 50% of the total traffic. This situation can not be found in MANETs but safety applications in VANETs have the same characteristic and also they demand high level of reliability.

In the case that 802.11 does not have capability of collision detection, contention window (CW) will never be increased for broadcast messages and always uses the minimum CW (CWmin). This increases the importance of having a dynamic CWmin based on the network density (number of contending neighbors).

There are lots of research in ad hoc networks that they tried to estimate the number of contending nodes but it is very difficult to obtain a good estimation. Also, there are exist another approach that is trying to calculate CW based on the number of idle and busy (due to collision) slots. However, all of these studies assume that IEEE 802.11 can detect collision with ACK messages that is not valid in broadcast communication.

If CWmin (or CW because CWmax does not used in this case) will be selected very small it causes high collision probability because it increases probability of that multiple nodes select the same time slot to transmit. Also, if it will be selected very large, it causes high beacon drop probability because each beacon has limited time to be received in destination and selecting a large CW increases the total delivery delay (it must be received before arriving next beacon). In consequence, CW must be calculated precisely based on the number of nodes in neighborhood.

Few students were worried of their grades because they were change for the worse.

After a complaint was made by school administrators on Thursday morning, Fraus and Cyber Crimes Bureau detectives from the LASD started an investigation at the school who had gained unauthorized access to information of school website.

Investigators arrested two 18-year old students for accessing schools secure information. They are currently in jail.

We recently shared a network connections profile manager called NetSetMan for people who frequently travel with their laptops. Each time they get to a new location, they have to manually change settings of their network card and browser proxy server before connecting to the internet.

Though NetSetMan has a free full version, some comments have pointed out that the license prohibits use of the software at work or any commercial purpose.

If you need to shuttle your notebook computer between home and various office locations, the other good alternative is Net Profiles that again helps you effortlessly change your network connection settings .

With Net Profiles, you create various profiles for each of your network settings and you can easily switch from one to another. Can also be used for managing network printers, mapped drives and multiple Wi-Fi wireless networks.
