Performance evaluation of multi-hop CSMA/CA networks in fading environments
The performance of multi-hop CSMA/CA networks has in most cases been evaluated via simulations, or analytically using a perfect collision channel model. Using such methods, one ca...

Estimating differential quantities using polynomial fitting of osculating jets
This paper addresses the point-wise estimation of differential properties of a smooth manifold S--a curve in the plane or a surface in 3D--assuming a point cloud sampled over S is...
