QoS-aware cooperative medium access control for MIMO ad-hoc networks

To exploit multiuser diversity and achieve QoS requirements in MIMO ad hoc networks, we propose an optimal scheduling policy which utilizes stream control schemes. We also present a medium access control (MAC) protocol to implement the optimal scheduling policy. Simulation results show that our implementation achieves higher network throughput and provides better QoS support than the existing solutions.
