We focus on a slotted ALOHA system without feedback, in which nodes transmit time-stamped updates to a common gateway. Departing from the classical generate-at-will model, we assume that each transmitter may not always have fresh…

A single cognitive radio transmitter--receiver pair shares the spectrum with two primary users communicating with their respective receivers. Each primary user has a local traffic queue, whereas the cognitive user has three queues; one…
