Broadband wireless access networks, such as the IEEE 802.16 standard for wireless metropolitan area networks (WMANs), aim to provide high bandwidth, low-cost, scalable solutions t...
Abstract—Coping with collisions is one of the biggest challenges in the design of MAC algorithms for wireless networks. Recent advances in MIMO communications have provided the p...
We investigate the problem of efficient resource control for elastic traffic in IEEE 802.11e’s Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) mechanism. Our approach considers an ...
—Cooperative communications leverages the spatial diversity available in a wireless network enabling multiple radio nodes work together to improve the overall system performance....
