The random access scheme is a fundamental scenario in which users transmit through a shared channel and cannot coordinate each other. In recent years, successive interference cancellation (SIC) was introduced into the random access scheme.…

Low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) technologies are gaining momentum for internet-of-things (IoT) applications since they promise wide coverage to a massive number of battery-operated devices using grant-free medium access. LoRaWAN, with…

This paper introduces a random multiple access method for satellite communications, named Network Coding-based Slotted Aloha (NCSA). The goal is to improve diversity of data bursts on a slotted-ALOHA-like channel thanks to error correcting…

Based on closed-form interference alignment (IA) solutions, a low overhead distributed interference alignment (LOIA) scheme is proposed in this paper for the $K$-user SISO interference channel, and extension to multiple antenna scenario is…

We propose an uncoordinated all-to-all broadcast protocol for periodic messages in vehicular networks based on coded slotted ALOHA (CSA). Unlike classical CSA, each user acts as both transmitter and receiver in a half-duplex mode. As in…

Age of information (AoI) is gaining attention as a valuable performance metric for many IoT systems, in which a large number of devices report time-stamped updates to a central gateway. This is the case, for instance, of remote sensing,…

LoRa (Long-Range) is an LPWAN (low-power wide-area network) protocol that is part of the IoT family that focusses on long-range communication of up to 14km, albeit with delay-inherent transmissions. Three IoT-based time synchronisation…

We present a comprehensive steady-state analysis of threshold-ALOHA, a distributed age-aware modification of slotted ALOHA proposed in recent literature. In threshold-ALOHA, each terminal suspends its transmissions until the Age of…

Wireless sensor networks are usually composed of a large number of nodes, and with the increasing processing power and power consumption efficiency they are expected to run more complex protocols in the future. These pose problems in the…

The recent research has established an analogy between successive interference cancellation in slotted ALOHA framework and iterative belief-propagation erasure-decoding, which has opened the possibility to enhance random access protocols by…

Recently, random access protocols have acquired a new wave of interest, not only from the satellite communication community, but also from researchers active in fields like Internet of Things and machine-to-machine. Asynchronous (slot- and…

In conventional backscatter communication (BackCom) systems, time division multiple access (TDMA) and frequency division multiple access (FDMA) are generally adopted for multiuser backscattering due to their simplicity in implementation.…

The LoRa physical layer is one of the most promising Low Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN) technologies for future Internet of Things (IoT) applications. It provides a flexible adaptation of coverage and data rate by allocating different…

LoRaWAN is a leading standard and technology for low-power, long-range Internet-of-Things (IoT) communications. However, its single-hop architecture results in limited effective range and excessive power consumption for end devices,…

We consider a random access network consisting of source-destination pairs. Each source node generates status updates and transmits this information to its intended destination over a shared spectrum. The goal is to minimize the…

In this paper, the problem of using uncoordinated multiple access (UMA) to serve a massive amount of heterogeneous users is investigated. Leveraging the heterogeneity, we propose a novel UMA protocol, called iterative collision resolution…

An interference management problem among multiple overlapped random access networks (RANs) is investigated, each of which operates with slotted ALOHA protocol. Assuming that access points and users have multiple antennas, a novel…

As LoRaWAN networks are actively being deployed in the field, it is important to comprehend the limitations of this Low Power Wide Area Network technology. Previous work has raised questions in terms of the scalability and capacity of…

The Age of Incorrect Information (AoII) is a metric that can combine the freshness of the information available to a gateway in an Internet of Things (IoT) network with the accuracy of that information. As such, minimizing the AoII can…

Flanking traditional metrics such as throughput and reliability, age of information (AoI) is emerging as a fundamental tool to capture the performance of IoT systems. In this context, we focus on a setup in which a large number of nodes…
