IEEE 802.11 MAC, called the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF), employs carrier sensing to effectively avoid collisions, but this makes it difficult to maximally reuse the sp...
A promising architecture for remote healthcare monitoring involves the use of a pervasive device (such as a cellular phone), which aggregates data from multiple body-worn medical ...

—Passive RFID tags transmit their ID information to a tag reader upon energization by the reader. These transmitted signals, or IDs, may collide if multiple tags transmit their I...
—We venture beyond the “listen-before-talk” strategy that is common in many traditional cognitive radio access schemes. We exploit the bi-directional nature of most primary c...
