We analyze the stability of standard, buffered, slotted-Aloha systems. Specifically, we consider a set of $N$ users, each equipped with an infinite buffer. Packets arrive into user $i$'s buffer according to some stationary ergodic Markovian…
Joint message and state transmission under arbitrarily varying jamming is investigated in this paper. The problem is modeled as the transmission over a channel with random states with a fixed distribution and jamming that varies in an…
In advanced jamming, the adversary intentionally concentrates the available energy budget on specific critical components (e.g., pilot symbols, acknowledgement packets, etc.) to (i) increase the jamming effectiveness, as more targets can be…

We present a comprehensive steady-state analysis of threshold-ALOHA, a distributed age-aware modification of slotted ALOHA proposed in recent literature. In threshold-ALOHA, each terminal suspends its transmissions until the Age of…
In this paper, a simple variation of classical Slotted Aloha is introduced and analyzed. The enhancement relies on adding multiple receivers that gather different observations of the packets transmitted by a user population in one slot. For…
In many wireless communication networks a common channel is shared by multiple users who must compete to gain access to it. The operation of the network by self-interested and strategic users usually leads to the overuse of the channel…

We consider that a transmitter covertly communicates with multiple receivers under the help of a friendly jammer. The messages intended for different receivers are transmitted in mutually orthogonal frequency bands. An adversary observes…
