N-DCF: MAC overhead reduction using narrow channel contention in wireless networks

Abstract This paper presents a medium access control protocol for wireless networks that improves system spectral efficiency using multiple channels. Use of multiple narrow channels has already been proposed as a solution to reduce MAC overhead, but merely dividing a wide channel into narrow channel...
