- RAIN: A Reliable Wireless Network Architecture
- Despite years of research and development, pioneering deployments of multihop wireless networks have not proven successful. The performance of routing and transport is often unstable due to contention-induced packet losses, especially when the network is large and the offered load is high. This paper proposes RAIN, a reliable wireless network...
