Abstract
The use of multi-channel MAC protocols improves the capacity of wireless networks. Efficient multi-channel MAC protocols aim to utilize multiple channels effectively. Our proposed multi-channel MAC protocol called LCV-MMAC effectively utilizes the multiple channels by handling the control channel saturation. LCV-MMAC demonstrates significantly better throughput and fairness compared to DCA, MMAC, and AMCP in different network scenarios.
