This paper provides a performance evaluation of the TETRAPOL random access protocol. The results are based on a Markovian model which is also presented. The Markovian model is use...
— Motivated by the ‘beyond 3G’ vision of radio access network integration and coordinated radio resource management, a purely analytical performance assessment is presented f...
Abstract—We consider a cognitive radio network where multiple secondary users (SUs) contend for spectrum usage, using random access, over available primary user (PU) channels. Ou...
—This paper aims at answering the questions of how to enable cooperative communications in random access networks. And, since cooperation introduces extra transmissions in the ch...
Aloha-type random-access protocols have been employed as access control protocols in wireline and wireless, stationary and mobile, multiple-access communications networks. They are...
