This paper studies data collection in a wireless powered Internet of Things (IoT) network with
a hybrid access point (HAP). A fundamental problem at the HAP is to determine the number …

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), spectrum efficiency and energy efficiency are two
challenging issues to be addressed due to the scarcity of spectrum and its limited energy. In …

The k-SIC (successive interference cancellation) technology can support at most k parallel
transmissions, and thus fast media access can be provided, which is vital for real-time …

In large-scale wireless sensor networks (WSNs), spectrum efficiency and energy
consumption are two challengeable problems to be solved due to the increasing traffic …

We address the maximum link activation problem in wireless networks with new features,
namely when the transmitters can perform cooperative transmission, and the receivers are …

Communications in industrial applications such as wireless factory automation demand
different timing requirements. Providing timely medium access of the critical traffic and its …

Wireless mud-logging systems have been employed in petroleum exploration to guarantee
efficiency and safety in well-drilling. For the wireless networks in well-drillings, the tradeoff …

Relative to the networks with multiple independent sinks, in backbone-assisted networks,
multiple sinks are connected together with high-speed wirelines. So, by exchanging …

Reliability is vital for ultra-reliability low-latency transmission applications in Industrial
Wireless Networks (IWNs). The power-domain Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) …

A new cooperative interference harnessing technique is proposed for non-orthogonal
multiple access (NOMA) aided downlink multicell networks. The technique, coined as …
