— Many distributed multiple access (MAC) protocols use an exponential backoff mechanism. In that mechanism, a node picks a random backoff time uniformly in an interval that doubl...
The assignment problem originally arising from parallel and distributed computing has been investigated intensively since the 70’s when Harold Stone proposed a method to solve i...
Fair queueing of rate and delay-sensitive packet flows in a shared-medium, multihop wireless network remains largely unaddressed because of the unique design issues such as locat...
We introduce a new synchronization problem in mobile ad-hoc systems: the Driving Philosophers. In this problem, an unbounded number of driving philosophers (processes) access a rou...
— We analyze the feasibility of distributed spatial multiplexing with limited feedback in a slow-fading interference network with MN non-cooperating single-antenna sources and M ...
