— Most wireless systems receive a license that gives them exclusive access to a block of spectrum. Exclusivity guarantees adequate quality of service, but it also leads to inef...
— Next-generation mobile communication systems will provide “always best connected” services to mobile users via cellular networks that provide wide area coverage for global ...
—The IEEE 802.15.4 standard has no provisions for rate sensitive applications because of its ability to operate in pure CSMA/CA or TDMA modes. Some operating scenarios for rate-s...
—It is well known that max-weight policies based on a queue backlog index can be used to stabilize stochastic networks, and that similar stability results hold if a delay index i...
This paper analyzes distributed asynchronous power and rate control for wireless ad hoc networks. Importantly, all network transmitters are considered to be independent of any mana...
