Shadow fading is severe in downtown areas where buildings are densely located. This
paper proposes a stochastic model to quantify blockages due to shadowing, using methods …

This paper studies the asymptotic properties of average area spectral efficiency (ASE) of a
downlink cellular network in the limit of very dense base station (BS) and user densities. This …

We consider a new approach to power control in decentralized wireless networks, termed
fractional power control (FPC). Transmission power is chosen as the current channel quality …

The performance benefits of two interference cancellation methods, successive interference
cancellation (SIC) and joint detection (JD), in wireless ad hoc networks are compared within …

In this work we analyze the complexity of local broadcasting in the physical interference
model. We present two distributed randomized algorithms: one that assumes that each node …

This paper analyzes the outage performance in finite wireless networks. Unlike most prior
works, which either assumed a specific network shape or considered a special location of …

Multicell cooperation (MCC) is an approach for mitigating intercell interference in dense
cellular networks. Existing studies on MCC performance typically rely on either …

For spectrum sharing and avoidance of mutual interference, carrier-sense multiple access
(CSMA) protocols are very popular in distributed wireless networks. CSMA protocols aim to …

This paper investigates the performance of open-loop multi-antenna point-to-point links in
ad hoc networks with slotted ALOHA medium access control (MAC). We consider spatial …

We develop a new metric for quantifying end-to-end throughput in multihop wireless
networks, which we term random access transport capacity, since the interference model …
