— Multiuser diversity refers to a type of diversity present across different users in a fading environment. This diversity can be exploited by scheduling transmissions so that us...
Abstract. Renewed interest in ALOHA-based Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols stems from their proposed applications to wireless ad hoc and sensor networks that require distribut...
—Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) require robustness against channel induced errors while retransmission based schemes prove too costly for energy constrained sensor nodes. Channe...
A novel framework was introduced recently for stochastic routing in wireless multihop networks, whereby each node selects a neighbor to forward a packet according to a probability...
