We study information gathering in ad-hoc radio networks. Initially, each node of the network has a piece of information called a rumor, and the overall objective is to gather all these rumors in the designated target node. The ad-hoc…

Wireless sensor networks are normally characterized by resource challenged nodes. Since communication costs the most in terms of energy in these networks, minimizing this overhead is important. We consider minimum length node scheduling in…

There is a rich recent literature on how to assist secure communication between a single transmitter and receiver at the physical layer of wireless networks through techniques such as cooperative jamming. In this paper, we consider how…

In this paper, we propose the joint interference cancellation, fast fading channel estimation, and data symbol detection for a general interference setting where the interfering source and the interfered receiver are unsynchronized and…

In this technical note, we study the controllability of diffusively coupled networks from a graph theoretic perspective. We consider leader-follower networks, where the external control inputs are injected to only some of the agents, namely…

This paper provides a unified framework to study the performance of successive interference cancellation (SIC) in wireless networks with arbitrary fading distribution and power-law path loss. An analytical characterization of the…

Existing information theoretic work in decentralized detection is largely focused on parallel configuration of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), where an individual hard or soft decision is computed at each sensor node and then transmitted…

Channel uncertainty and co-channel interference are two major challenges in the design of wireless systems such as future generation cellular networks. This paper studies receiver design for a wireless channel model with both time-varying…

The interaction topology among the constituents of a complex network plays a crucial role in the network's evolutionary mechanisms and functional behaviors. However, some network topologies are usually unknown or uncertain. Meanwhile,…

Efficient operation of distribution grids in the smart-grid era is hindered by the limited presence of real-time nodal and line meters. In particular, this prevents the easy estimation of grid topology and associated line parameters that…

In multi-hop wireless networks, flow demands mean that some nodes have routing demands of transmitting their data to other nodes with a certain level of transmission rate. When a set of nodes have been deployed with flow demands, it is…

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…

A communication network is called a radio network if its nodes exchange messages in the following restricted way. First, a send operation performed by a node delivers copies of the same message to all directly reachable nodes. Secondly, a…

The interaction topology is critical for efficient cooperation of mobile robotic networks (MRNs). We focus on the local topology inference problem of MRNs under formation control, where an inference robot with limited observation range can…

In this paper, we consider the problem of scheduling real-time traffic in wireless networks under a conflict-graph interference model and single-hop traffic. The objective is to guarantee that at least a certain fraction of packets of each…

The cognitive radio networks are an emerging wireless communication and computing paradigm. The cognitive radio nodes execute computations on multiple heterogeneous channels in the absence of licensed users (a.k.a. primary users) of those…

We summarize the main results proved in recent work on the parameterized verification of safety properties for ad hoc network protocols. We consider a model in which the communication topology of a network is represented as a graph. Nodes…

In recent years, protocols that are based on the properties of random walks on graphs have found many applications in communication and information networks, such as wireless networks, peer-to-peer networks and the Web. For wireless…

The wireless channel changes continuously with time and frequency and the block-fading assumption, which is popular in many theoretical analyses, never holds true in practical scenarios. This discrepancy is critical for user activity…

In this article, we present a method to reconstruct the topology of a partially observed radial network of linear dynamical systems with bi-directional interactions. Our approach exploits the structure of the inverse power spectral density…
