We study two building-block models of interference-limited wireless networks, motivated by the problem of joint Peer-to-Peer and Wide Area Network design. In the first case, a sin...
— We consider a peer-to-peer network where nodes can send and receive files amongst their peers. File requests are generated randomly, and each new file can correspond to a dif...
—In a wireless network, the use of cooperation among nodes can significantly improve capacity and robustness to fading. Node cooperation can take many forms, including relaying ...
—A key technology in cooperative communications is distributed space-time coding (DSTC) which achieves spatial diversity gain from multiple relays. A novel DSTC, called randomize...

This paper proposes a cross-layer optimization framework for the wireless sensor networks. In a wireless sensor network, each sensor makes a local observation of the underlying phy...
