Abstract— A distributed medium access control (MAC) algorithm for uplink OFDMA networks under the IEEE 802.16 framework is proposed and analyzed in this work. We present a simple...
— Recent studies have shown that designing a Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol combined with a cooperative approach may improve the attainable network throughput, despite redu...
—One of the main advantages of clustering algorithms is the ability to allow networks to be physically divided into smaller regions, thereby increasing the theoretical maximum nu...
