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 design a cross-layer approach to optimize the joint use of multi-packet reception and network coding, in order to relieve congestion. We construct a model for the behavior of the 802.11 MAC and apply it to several key canonical topology…
In this paper, we investigate the delay-throughput trade-offs in mobile ad-hoc networks under two-dimensional i.i.d. mobility models. We consider two mobility time-scales: (i) Fast mobility where node mobility is at the same time-scale as…

Despite the long history of research on slotted ALOHA, the exact analysis of the average delay is still in question as the performance of each node is coupled with the activity of other nodes. In this paper, we consider a network comprised…
We consider a wireless device-to-device (D2D) network where the nodes have cached information from a library of possible files. Inspired by the current trend in the standardization of the D2D mode for 4th generation wireless networks, we…
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…
We consider the problem of optimizing the interconnection graphs of complex networks to promote synchronization. When traditional optimization methods are inapplicable, due to uncertain or unknown node dynamics, we propose a data-driven…
Deep learning (DL)-based solutions have recently been developed for communication protocol design. Such learning-based solutions can avoid manual efforts to tune individual protocol parameters. While these solutions look promising, they are…
Future mobile networks will exploit unlicensed spectrum to boost capacity and meet growing user demands cost-effectively. The 3GPP has recently defined a Licensed-Assisted Access (LAA) scheme to enable global Unlicensed LTE (U-LTE)…
The performance of the automatic repeat request-dynamic decode and forward (ARQ-DDF) cooperation protocol is analyzed in two distinct scenarios. The first scenario is the multiple access relay (MAR) channel where a single relay is dedicated…
A VLAN is a logical connection that allows hosts to be grouped together in the same broadcast domain, so that packets are delivered only to ports that are combined to the same VLAN. We can improve wireless network performance and save…
The amount of data moved over dedicated and non-dedicated network links increases much faster than the increase in the network capacity, but the current solutions fail to guarantee even the promised achievable transfer throughputs. In this…
Herein, we consider the problem of cooperative multi-access in the presence of overlapped coverage areas. Assuming a frameless ALOHA transmission scheme, we derive exact analytical throughput expressions for throughput in the aforementioned…
IEEE 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7) introduces a new concept called multi-link operation (MLO), which allows multiple Wi-Fi interfaces in different bands (2.4, 5, and 6 GHz) to work together to increase network throughput, reduce latency, and improve…
Distributed resource allocation (DRA) is fundamental to modern networked systems, spanning applications from economic dispatch in smart grids to CPU scheduling in data centers. Conventional DRA approaches require reliable communication, yet…

IEEE 802.11 has evolved from 802.11a/b/g/n to 802.11ac to meet rapidly increasing data rate requirements in WLANs. One important technique adopted in 802.11ac is the channel bonding (CB) scheme that combines multiple 20MHz channels for a…
