Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are a rapidly evolving technology, and being highly
mobile, UAV systems are able to cooperate with each other to accomplish a wide range of …

This paper discusses the contemporary problem of providing multiple-access (MAC) to a
massive number of uncoordinated users. First, we define a random-access code for K a-user …

An Aloha-type access control mechanism for large mobile, multihop, wireless networks is
defined and analyzed. This access scheme is designed for the multihop context, where it is …

Network coding promises to significantly impact the way communications networks are
designed, operated, and understood. This book presents a unified and intuitive overview of …

In this paper, upper and lower bounds on the transmission capacity of spread-spectrum (SS)
wireless ad hoc networks are derived. We define transmission capacity as the product of the …

We consider the use of random linear network coding in lossy packet networks. In particular,
we consider the following simple strategy: nodes store the packets that they receive and …

The effect of multipacket reception (MPR) on stability and delay of slotted ALOHA based
random-access systems is considered. A general asymmetric MPR model is introduced and …

We discuss the problem of designing channel access architectures for enabling fast, low-
latency, grant-free, and uncoordinated uplink for densely packed wireless nodes …

We consider the slotted ALOHA protocol with capture, in a mobile communication
environment, in the presence of Rayleigh fading and log-normal shadowing. The capture …

In this paper, a novel cognitive multiple-access strategy in the presence of a cooperating
relay is proposed. Exploiting an important phenomenon in wireless networks, source …
