Wireless MAC processors: Programming MAC protocols on commodity Hardware [PDF]
2012 Proceedings IEEE INFOCOM, 2012 Programmable wireless platforms aim at responding to the quest for wireless access flexibility and adaptability. This paper introduces the notion of wireless MAC processors. Instead of implementing a specific MAC protocol stack, Wireless MAC processors do support a set of Medium Access Control “commands” which can be run-time composed (programmed ...

UVOC-MAC: a MAC protocol for outdoor ultraviolet networks [PDF]
Wireless Networks, 2010 As an alternative to radio-frequency (RF) communications, optical wireless communications can support high data rates and low power operations while providing good jamming resistance. Our focus in this paper is on deep ultraviolet (UV) outdoor communications (UVOC) where solar blind and non-line-of-sight operations are attractive.
