In this paper, we investigate a network where N links contend for the channel using the well-
known carrier sense multiple access scheme. By leveraging the notion of stochastic hybrid …

The unlicensed spectrum offers tremendous opportunities for mobile network operators
(MNOs), whose traffic can be offloaded from licensed bands to unlicensed ones. To realize …

In a wireless ad hoc network, nodes share a broadcast channel through a Medium Access
Control protocol. The broadcasting channel is a scarce resource, so MAC algorithms must …

The proliferation of smartphones, along with the ubiquitous connectivity and cheap
hardware cost, has paved the way for new applications that rely on the timely delivery of …

In-band full-duplex (FD) technique can efficiently improve the network throughput of future
wireless networks. However, the network throughput is significantly affected by the hidden …

In IEEE 80211 wireless LANs, hidden nodes can disrupt the backoff algorithm of other nodes
that are located outside the physical carrier sensing range of hidden nodes. The fairness …

The world is becoming more dependent on wireless networks for ubiquitous computing.
Wireless local area network (WLAN) is one kind of widely-deployed wireless networks used …

While current medium access control solutions in low-power wide area networks are
generally based on Aloha, recent studies demonstrated the interest of adding carrier sense …
