The problem of distributed rate maximization in multichannel ALOHA networks is
considered. First, we study the problem of constrained distributed rate maximization, where …

Shortening the packet length has been a consensus in wireless network design for
supporting the ultra-low latency Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Yet, with short-packet …

Slotted Aloha provides a simple way for accommodating the massive access of Machine-to-
Machine (M2M) communications. Yet, the delay performance of slotted Aloha has long been …

With the rapid proliferation of broadband wireless services, it is of paramount importance to
understand how fast data can be sent through a wireless local area network (WLAN) …

It is well known that links in CSMA wireless networks are prone to starvation. Prior works
focused almost exclusively on equilibrium starvation. Links in CSMA wireless networks are …

We consider the problem of distributed throughput maximization for multi-channel ALOHA
networks. We focus on networks containing a large number of users that transmit over a low …

The primary challenge in heterogeneous cellular networks is mitigating intercell
interference, particularly in dense deployments of residential femtocells. Traditionally …

To date, most analysis of WLANs has been focused on their operation under saturation
condition. This work is an attempt to understand the fundamental performance of WLANs …

Contention control is an important means to mitigate adverse affects of multiple access
interference on transmitted data packets in wireless communication networks. Most practical …

This paper proposes and analyzes the performance of a simple frequency-agile CSMA MAC
protocol. In this MAC, a node carrier-senses multiple frequency channels simultaneously …
