What is the right model for wireless channel interference? (2006, background): “Our work can be viewed as complementary to the work in [9], [13] which investigate the limitations of using isotropic path loss as a channel attenuation model.”
An RSSI-based scheme for sybil attack detection in wireless sensor networks (2006, background): “In contrast to simplistic representations of radio signal as isotropic, and communication range as uniform, [8] and [15] show that broadcast is non-isotropic in WSN.”
Toward understanding characteristics of dedicated short range communications (DSRC) from a perspective of vehicular network engineers (2010, background): “We acknowledge that similar observations had been reported by several related studies in other networking contexts [12] [2], but our observations are complimentary to theirs given that our experiments were conducted in highly mobile, severe-fading environments.”
Overview of the ORBIT radio grid testbed for evaluation of next-generation wireless network protocols (2005, neutral): “A recent technical report [1] states “Since it is difficult to conduct experiments with real mobile computers and wireless networks, nearly all published MANET articles are buttressed with simulation results, and the simulations are based on common simplifying assumptions”.”

Idle sense: an optimal access method for high throughput and fairness in rate diverse wireless LANs (2005, background): “Another study in ad hoc environments has found that wireless LANs exhibit complex behavior: the transmission range is not circular, communications are not symmetric, and the average signal strength varies widely even among positions close to an access point [19].”
