Emergence of new types of services has led to various traffic and diverse delay
requirements in fifth-generation (5G) wireless networks. Meeting diverse delay requirements …

In this paper, a random access scheme is introduced, which relies on the combination of
packet erasure correcting codes and successive interference cancellation (SIC). The …

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tagging is now used by the department of defense
and many of the world's largest retailers including Wal-Mart. As RFID continues to infiltrate …

Power grids, flexible manufacturing, cellular communications: interconnectedness has
consequences. This remarkable book gives the tools and philosophy you need to build …

The Internet of Things (IoT) is large scale by nature, which is manifested by the massive
number of connected devices as well as their vast spatial existence. Cellular networks …

Information theory has not yet had a direct impact on networking, although there are
similarities in concepts and methodologies that have consistently attracted the attention of …

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 consider the standard slotted ALOHA system with a finite number of buffered users.
Stability analysis of such a system was initiated by Tsybakov and Mikhailov (1979). Since …

A scenario with two single-user links, one licensed to use the spectral resource (primary)
and one unlicensed (secondary or cognitive), is considered. According to the cognitive radio …

Tag identification is an important tool in RFID systems with applications for monitoring and
tracking. A RFID reader recognizes tags through communication over a shared wireless …
