Abstract :
Millimeter-wave communication is an advantageous frequency range because it is unlicensed and it is viable for high-throughput short-range transmission applications. This work focuses on an energy-efficient Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for very-high-throughput millimeter-wave (mm-wave) wireless sensor communication networks (VHT-MSCNs) based on a hybrid multiple access technique.
