—Backoff misbehavior, in which a wireless node deliberately manipulates its backoff time, can induce significant network problems, such as severe unfairness and denial-of-servic...
Collision awareness (CA) multiple access networks include the carrier sense multiple access (CSMA), ALOHA, and Ethernet networks. In order to maximize throughput with minimum netw...
— This paper presents a simple method for computing throughputs of links in a CSMA network. We call our method back-of-the-envelop (BoE) computation, because for many network con...

— A class of CSMA protocols used in a broad range of wireless applications uses synchronized contention where nodes periodically contend at intervals of fixed duration. While se...
—This paper considers the performance of the MAC protocols ALOHA and CSMA in wireless ad hoc networks, where the total system bandwidth may be divided into smaller subbands. In t...
