Current anti-collision protocols for active RFID systems stem from the ISO-18000-7 standard, which selects Frame Slotted Aloha as the underlying Medium Access Control protocol. How...
In this article, we present a simple yet accurate generic analytical model for a family of slotted carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) based medium ac...
Abstract. The paper proposes a priority-aware MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol for a core metropolitan area network in the next generation Internet, which is an OPS (Optical Pa...
Initially designed for WLAN's, IEEE 802.11 medium access control (MAC) has also been widely used in the research of multihop wireless networks. The core MAC technique of IEEE ...
Abstract--It was shown recently that carrier sense multiple access (CSMA)-like distributed algorithms can achieve the maximal throughput in wireless networks (and task processing n...
Abstract--Interference plays a complex and often defining role in the performance of wireless networks, especially in multi-hop scenarios. In the presence of interference, Carrier ...
Collision awareness (CA) multiple access networks include the carrier sense multiple access (CSMA), ALOHA, and Ethernet networks. In order to maximize throughput with minimum netw...
We present a fluid flow model to analyze backlog-based CSMA policies. The model is obtained using a CSMA fixed point approximation that has been recently proposed and analyzed. We...
