Multiple connected devices sharing common wireless resources might create interference if they access the channel simultaneously. Medium access control (MAC) protocols gener- ally regulate the access of the devices to the shared channel to…

In an era where communication has a most important role in modern societies, designing efficient algorithms for data transmission is of the outmost importance. TDMA is a technology used in many communication systems such as satellite, cell…

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-enabled mobile edge computing (MEC) systems can use different multiple access schemes to coordinate multi-user task offloading. However, it is still unknown which scheme is the most energy-efficient, especially…

For a two-user Gaussian multiple access channel (GMAC), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), a well known orthogonal-multiple-access (O-MA) scheme has been preferred to non-orthogonal-multiple-access (NO-MA) schemes since FDMA can…

Low-Power Wide-Area Networks (LPWANs) are being successfully used for the monitoring of large-scale systems that are delay-tolerant and which have low-bandwidth requirements. The next step would be instrumenting these for the control of…

This paper proposes and analyzes the performance of a simple frequency-agile CSMA MAC protocol. In this MAC, a node carrier-senses multiple frequency channels simultaneously, and it takes the first opportunity to transmit on any one of the…

IEEE 802.11ad specifies a hybrid medium access control (MAC) protocol consisting of contention as well as noncontention-based channel access mechanisms. Further, it also employs directional antennas to compensate for the high freespace path…

In this paper, we for the first time investigate the random access problem for a delay-constrained heterogeneous wireless network. We begin with a simple two-device problem where two devices deliver delay-constrained traffic to an access…

Machine-type communication (MTC) has been extensively studied to provide connectivity for devices and sensors in the Internet-of-Thing (IoT). Thanks to the sparse activity, random access, e.g., ALOHA, is employed for MTC to lower signaling…

We model a dense wireless local area network where the access points (APs) employ carrier sense multiple access (CSMA)-type medium access control protocol. In our model, the spatial locations of the set of active APs are modeled using the…

Upcoming Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) systems require high data rates ($\geq$ 500 Mbps) and low power consumption for seamless experience. With an increasing number of subscribing users, the total number of antennas…

Recent advances in Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology, integrated circuits, and wireless communication have allowed the realization of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). WBANs promise unobtrusive ambulatory health…

The proliferation of wireless services and applications over the past decade has led to the rapidly increasing demand in wireless spectrum. Hence, we have been facing a critical spectrum shortage problem even though several measurements…

This paper studies the performance of a wireless data network using energy-efficient power control techniques when different multiple access schemes, namely direct-sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) and impulse-radio…

In this paper, we propose a preamble based medium access control (P-MAC) mechanism in Ad-Hoc network. Different from traditional carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) in Ad-Hoc network, P-MAC uses much shorter preamble to establish the…

We consider a multiple access communication system where multiple users share a common collision channel. Each user observes its local traffic and the feedback from the channel. At each time instant the feedback from the channel is one of…

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…

This paper presents the design, implementation and performance evaluation of a location MAC protocol, called L-MAC, for wireless sensor networks. L-MAC is a combination of TDMA and CSMA while offsetting the high overhead of time slot…

A Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) provides health care services. The performance and utility of WBANs can be degraded due to interference. In this paper, our contribution for co-channel interference mitigation among coexisting WBANs is…

This paper investigates practical 5G strategies for power-balanced non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA). By allowing multiple users to share the same time and frequency, NOMA can scale up the number of served users and increase spectral…
