—Physical Carrier Sensing plays a crucial role in the effectiveness of CSMA-based MAC protocols, yet its properties and impact on the system performance under slow fading channel...
— 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...
Transmission over wireless fading channels under quality of service (QoS) constraints is studied when only the receiver has channel side information. Being unaware of the channel c...
In this paper, we propose a new Distributed Cooperation and Diversity Combining framework. Our focus is heterogeneous networks with devices equipped with two types of radio frequen...
In this paper, we develop a random access scheme which combines the widely used binary exponential backoff (BEB) algorithm with a cross-layer tree algorithm (TA) that relies on suc...
