—It is well-known that the overall efficiency of a distributed system can suffer if the participating entities seek to maximize their individual performance. Consequently, mecha...
— Incentive protocols play a crucial role to encourage cooperation among nodes in networking applications. The aim of this paper is to provide a general analytical framework to a...
—A new and simple MAC protocol is proposed. Each node transmits a burst with length sampled from a geometric distribution with parameter q followed by a carrier sense slot. A nod...
