This work addresses problems related to interference mitigation in a single wireless body area network (WBAN). In this paper, We propose a distributed \textit{C}ombined carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) with…

We present the first spin-free, kernel-lock-free mutex that cooperates with user-mode schedulers and is formally proven FIFO-fair and linearizable using CSP/FDR. Our fairness oracle and stability-based proof method are reusable across…

Successive interference cancellation (SIC) is a physical layer technique that enables the decoders to decode multiple simultaneously transmitted signals. The complicated model of SIC requires careful design of the MAC protocol and accurate…

In this paper, cooperative energy recycling (CER) is investigated in wireless-powered mobile edge computing systems. Unlike conventional architectures that rely solely on a dedicated power source, wireless sensors are additionally enabled…

Licensed Shared Access (LSA) is a spectrum sharing mechanism where bandwidth is shared between a primary network, called incumbent, and a secondary mobile network. In this work, we address dynamic spectrum management mechanisms for LSA…

A conflict-avoiding code (CAC) is a deterministic transmission scheme for asynchronous multiple access without feedback. When the number of simultaneously active users is less than or equal to $w$, a CAC of length $L$ with weight $w$ can…

Coded caching (CC) exploits cumulative cache memory at user devices and coding to transform unicast traffic into multicast transmissions. While information theoretic results show significant gains over uncoded caching for various network…

Clustered cell-free networking has emerged as a promising architecture to balance the high performance of cell-free massive MIMO and the scalability of traditional cellular systems. However, achieving fairness across subnetworks remains a…

Many current and future multimedia and industrial applications, like video streaming, eXtended Reality or remote robot control, are characterized by periodic data transmissions with strict latency and reliability constraints. In an effort…

Random Access MAC protocols are simple and effective when the nature of the traffic is unpredictable and sporadic. In the following paper, investigations on the new Enhanced Contention Resolution ALOHA (ECRA) are presented, where some new…

The theory of two-sided matching has been extensively developed and applied to many real-life application domains. As the theory has been applied to increasingly diverse types of environments, researchers and practitioners have encountered…

We propose a double-station access protocol (DS-CSMA) with multiple backoff mechanism for optical wireless scattering communication networks (OWSCN). %, where two stations can transmit data to single destination simultaneously.can avoid the…

We consider the classical contention resolution problem where nodes arrive over time, each with a message to send. In each synchronous slot, each node can send or remain idle. If in a slot one node sends alone, it succeeds; otherwise, if…

One of the novelties brought by 5G is that wireless system design has increasingly turned its focus on guaranteeing reliability and latency. This shifts the design objective of random access protocols from throughput optimization towards…

We consider a binary hypothesis testing problem using Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The decision is made by a fusion center and is based on received data from the sensors. We focus on a spectrum and energy efficient transmission scheme…

Imposing fairness in resource allocation incurs a loss of system throughput, known as the Price of Fairness ($PoF$). In wireless scheduling, $PoF$ increases when serving users with very poor channel quality because the scheduler wastes…

With the increasing complexity of Wi-Fi networks and the iterative evolution of 802.11 protocols, the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) protocol faces significant challenges in achieving fair channel access…

This work calls into question a substantial body of past work on CSMA wireless networks. In the majority of studies on CSMA wireless networks, a contention graph is used to model the carrier sensing relationships (CS) among links. This is a…

Confidential Virtual Machines (CVMs) are increasingly adopted to protect sensitive workloads from privileged adversaries such as the hypervisor. While they provide strong isolation guarantees, existing CVM architectures lack first-class…

Many existing medium access control (MAC) protocols utilize past information (e.g., the results of transmission attempts) to adjust the transmission parameters of users. This paper provides a general framework to express and evaluate…
