— Medium access control (MAC) protocols have been studied under different contexts for several years now. In all these MAC protocols, nodes make independent decisions on when to ...
—The operation of widely-deployed random access to wireless networks is based on limited information on the result of each access attempt. When making a random access attempt, us...
In recent years, it has been reported that several existing networks including the Internet have scale-free structure. In this paper, through a simple numerical analysis, we inves...
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...
—This paper provides analytical expressions to evaluate the performance of a random access wireless network in terms of user throughput and network throughput, subject to the con...
