Usually, researchers provide a set of unrealistic assumptions of ideal channel conditions and homogeneous link qualities to simplify their studies.
The analytical results demonstrate that 802.11 CSMA/CA can present fairness regardless of the same or different data rates under the condition of homogeneous link qualities.
Our analytical results also demonstrated that when all the hosts transmit at an equal data rate, 802.11 CSMA/CA can only present fairness on condition of homogeneous link qualities; the presence of diverse link qualities can cause significant unfairness.
An MFD is further well defined if the network is homogeneous with links of similar properties.
The main two subsets were homogeneous, but linked by a more heterogeneous differentiation intermediate.
High energy charged particles penetrating into silicon based polymer materials cause non-homogeneous cross-linking in the nanospace along the particle trajectories, giving nano-gels (nano-wires) of polymers with cylindrical structures of regular length and thickness.
Furthermore, these works assume homogeneous infection across links and homogeneous recovery across nodes, but in reality, most networks are heterogeneous.
In a homogeneous system, a link switching technique can be divided into two types: hard link switching and soft link switching.
Indeed, homogeneous linear PIB/cross-linked polycyclohexylmethacrylate (PCHMA) semi-IPNs containing from 20 to 70 wt% PIB and synthesized without solvent show no cold flow and higher mechanical properties than those of linear PIB or 50 wt% PIB containing blend.
