In this paper, we first propose a redundant radix based number (RBN) representation for encoding the data to be transmitted in a wireless network. This RBN encoding uses three possible values - 0, 1 and $\bar 1$, for each digit to be…

Wireless charging is a promising way to power wireless nodes' transmissions. This paper considers new dual-function access points (APs) which are able to support the energy/information transmission to/from wireless nodes. We focus on a…

In this paper, we propose a novel adaptive carrier sense multiple access scheme with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) to perform efficient and reliable data transfer with increased throughput across multiple coexisting wireless body area…

The strength of carrier-sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) can be combined with that of time-division multiple access (TDMA) to enhance the channel access performance in wireless networks such as the IEEE…

This paper investigates the average throughput of a wireless powered communications system, where an energy constrained source, powered by a dedicated power beacon (PB), communicates with a destination. It is assumed that the PB is capable…

It has been shown that using appropriate channel coding schemes in wireless environments, transmission energy can be significantly reduced by controlling the packet transmission rate. This paper seeks optimal solutions for downlink…

Rate adaptation and transmission power control in 802.11 WLANs have received a lot of attention from the research community, with most of the proposals aiming at maximising throughput based on network conditions. Considering energy…

Intra-body communication (IBC) is a type of Body Area Network (BAN)that utilizes human body as the medium for data transmission. Thelow power requirements of intra-body communication (IBC) as compared to near field electromagnetic waves…

Ethernet-based Passive optical network (E-PON) is the key for next generation access networks. It must have the property of high efficiency, low cost, and support quality of service (QoS). We present a novel media access control (MAC)…

Traffic analysis in Multi-hop Wireless Networks can expose the structure of the network allowing attackers to focus their efforts on critical nodes. For example, jamming the only data sink in a sensor network can cripple the network. We…

In Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), Access point (AP) transmit power influences (i) received signal quality for users and thus user throughput, (ii) user association and thus load across APs and (iii) AP coverage ranges and thus…

In cognitive radio networks, spectrum sensing is a crucial technique to discover spectrum opportunities for the Secondary Users (SUs). The quality of spectrum sensing is evaluated by both sensing accuracy and sensing efficiency. Here,…

Wireless networks have become the main form of Internet access. Statistics show that the global mobile Internet penetration should exceed 70\% until 2019. Wi-Fi is an important player in this change. Founded on IEEE 802.11, this technology…

This paper studies the performance of partial-Rake (PRake) receivers in impulse-radio ultrawideband wireless networks when an energy-efficient power control scheme is adopted. Due to the large bandwidth of the system, the multipath channel…

Wireless local area networks (WLAN) still suffer from a severe performance discrepancy between different users in the uplink. This is because of the spatially varying channel conditions provided by the wireless medium. Cooperative medium…

Energy is one of the most important resources in wireless sensor networks. Recently, the mobility of base station has been exploited to preserve the energy. But in event driven networks, the mobility issue is quite different from the…
