The penetration of wireless broadband services in remote areas has primarily been limited due to the lack of economic incentives that service providers encounter in sparsely populated areas. Besides, wireless backhaul links like satellite…
TV white spaces refer to the allocated but locally unused TV spectrum and can be used by unlicensed devices as secondary users. Thanks to their lower frequencies (e.g., 54 -- 698 MHz in the US), communication over the TV spectrum has…
The so-called `TV white spaces' (TVWS) - representing unused TV channels in any given location as the result of the transition to digital broadcasting - designated by U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for unlicensed use presents…
The increasing need for robustness, reliability, and determinism in wireless networks for industrial and mission-critical applications is the driver for the growth of new innovative methods. The study presented in this work makes use of…
In WiFi networks, mobile nodes compete for accessing a shared channel by means of a random access protocol called Distributed Coordination Function (DCF). Although this protocol is in principle fair, since all the stations have the same…
In dense neighborhoods, there are often dozens of homes in close proximity. This can either be a tight city-block with many single-family homes (SFHs), or a multiple dwelling units (MDU) complex (such as a big apartment building or…
Wi-Fi provides cost-effective data capacity at hotspots in conjunction with broadband cellular networks. The hotspots are required to capture a large number of users and provide high data rates. Data rates, over the Wi-Fi interface, are…
In this paper, we consider the energy-bandwidth allocation for a network with multiple broadcast channels, where the transmitters access the network orthogonally on the assigned frequency band and each transmitter communicates with multiple…
