— Directional antennas are a promising option for use in ad-hoc networks for a variety of reasons, such as increased spatial reuse, reduced interference and enabling more effici...
Collision awareness (CA) multiple access networks include the carrier sense multiple access (CSMA), ALOHA, and Ethernet networks. In order to maximize throughput with minimum netw...
—In this paper we establish the log-convexity of the rate region in 802.11 WLANs. This generalises previous results for Aloha networks and has immediate implications for optimisa...

We consider an ad hoc network which uses multihop routing and slotted ALOHA for its MAC contention. We show that the minimum time required for a packet to reach the destination fr...
: In this paper we propose two analytically tractable stochastic models of non-slotted Aloha for Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs): one model assumes a static pattern of nodes while ...
