—We propose an interference-aware MAC protocol using a simple transmission strategy motivated by a gametheoretic approach. We formulate a channel access game, which considers nod...
—We consider a scenario in which users share an access point and are mainly interested in VoIP applications. Each user is allowed to adapt to varying network conditions by choosi...
— In multiuser systems, multiuser diversity gains can be achieved by assigning channels to users with higher channel quality. To avoid the extensive information exchange required...
