— There has been much recent interest in protocol design for wireless networks based on maximizing a network utility function. A significant advance in recent years is the obser...
In this paper, we generalize the random access game model, and show that it provides a general game-theoretic framework for designing contention based medium access control. We ext...
The weakly pulse-coupled oscillator framework has proven to be a valuable resource for the development of peer-to-peer synchronization algorithms [9]. But leveraging it in a pract...
Abstract. The RTS/CTS access scheme, designed to reduce the number of collisions in a IEEE 802.11 network, is known to exhibit problems due to masked nodes, the imbalance between t...

— This paper analyzes and designs medium access control (MAC) protocols for wireless ad-hoc networks through the network utility maximization (NUM) framework. We first reverse-e...
