Abstract—Traditionally, random access protocols have been designed and studied by assuming simple models for the physical layer. We introduce a reception model that incorporates ...
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...
— 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...
Abstract - In this paper we present a design of a medium access control protocol that allows the utilization of unused licensed spectrum of deployed wireless cellular systems (Prim...
— 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...
