Future 5G communication systems require more demanding performances than the existing cellular communication systems, e.g., 10 to 100 Mbps user data rate and much larger cellular spectrum efficiency. The well-used multiple access methods…
Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Enhanced Collision Avoidance (CSMA/ECA) is a distributed MAC protocol that allows collision-free access to the medium in WLAN. The only difference between CSMA/ECA and the well-known CSMA/CA is that the…
Despite being the subject of a growing body of research, non-orthogonal multiple access has failed to garner sufficient support to be included in modern standards. One of the more promising approaches to non-orthogonal multiple access is…
In LoRa (Long Range), when a collision occurs in the network, each end-device has to retransmit its colliding frame, which reduces the throughput, and increases the energy consumption of the end-devices and the delay of the frames. In this…
We consider a model of a decentralized multiple access system with a non-standard binary feedback where the empty and collision situations cannot be distinguished. We show that, like in the case of a ternary feedback, for any input rate…
With the ever-growing demand for low-latency services in machine-to-machine (M2M) communications, the delay performance of random access networks has become a primary concern, which critically depends on the sensing capability of nodes. To…
In this paper we introduce the two-user asynchronous cognitive multiple access channel (ACMAC). This channel model includes two transmitters, an uninformed one, and an informed one which knows prior to the beginning of a transmission the…
Partial-information multiple access (PIMA) is an orthogonal multiple access (OMA) uplink scheme where time is divided into frames, each composed of two parts. The first part is used to count the number of users with packets to transmit,…
Lattice codes used under the Compute-and-Forward paradigm suggest an alternative strategy for the standard Gaussian multiple-access channel (MAC): The receiver successively decodes integer linear combinations of the messages until it can…

Recent information theoretic results suggest that precoding on the multi-user downlink MIMO channel with delayed channel state information at the transmitter (CSIT) could lead to data rates much beyond the ones obtained without any CSIT,…
We consider a wireless network where each flow (instead of each link) runs its own CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access) algorithm. Specifically, each flow attempts to access the radio channel after some random time and transmits a packet if…
On a multi-antenna broadcast channel, simultaneous transmission to multiple users by joint beamforming and scheduling is capable of achieving high throughput, which grows double logarithmically with the number of users. The sum rate for…
We consider a system of several collocated nodes sharing a time slotted wireless channel, and seek a MAC (medium access control) that (i) provides low mean delay, (ii) has distributed control (i.e., there is no central scheduler), and (iii)…
We consider a network of selfish nodes that would like to minimize the age of their updates at the other nodes. The nodes send their updates over a shared spectrum using a CSMA/CA based access mechanism. We model the resulting competition…
