We consider a small extent sensor network for event detection, in which nodes take samples periodically and then contend over a {\em random access network} to transmit their measurement packets to the fusion center. We consider two…

Caches are fundamental to latency-sensitive systems like Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) and Mobile Edge Computing (MEC). However, the delayed hit phenomenon where multiple requests for an object occur during its fetch from the remote…

The back-pressure algorithm is a well-known throughput-optimal algorithm. However, its delay performance may be quite poor even when the traffic load is not close to network capacity due to the following two reasons. First, each node has to…

The unprecedented growth of internet contents, specially social media, invoking a challenge to the load of cellular networks. In addition, nowadays, the demands of quality of experience (QoE) became a more practical norm in contrast of…

Totally asynchronous code-division multiple-access (CDMA) systems are addressed. In Part I, the fundamental limits of asynchronous CDMA systems are analyzed in terms of spectral efficiency and SINR at the output of the optimum linear…

A novel non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) based low-delay service framework is proposed for fog radio access networks (F-RANs). Fog access points (FAPs) leverage NOMA for local delivery of cached content, while the cloud access point…

Modern random access protocols are emerging as an efficient yet simple solution for arising internet of things (IoT) applications in upcoming beyond-5G systems. In this context, both terrestrial and non-terrestrial scenarios can benefit…

Recently, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has attracted considerable interest as one of the 5G-enabling techniques. However, users with better channel conditions in downlink communications intrinsically benefits from NOMA thanks to…

We investigate the problem of co-designing computation and communication in a multi-agent system (e.g. a sensor network or a multi-robot team). We consider the realistic setting where each agent acquires sensor data and is capable of local…

Random access schemes in modern wireless communications are generally based on the framed-ALOHA (f-ALOHA), which can be optimized by flexibly organizing devices' transmission and re-transmission. However, this optimization is generally…

Delays and data losses are undesirable from a control system perspective as they tend to adversely affect performance Networked Control Systems (NCSs) are a class of control systems wherein control components exchange information using a…

We consider ALOHA and slotted ALOHA protocols as medium access rules for a multi-channel message delivery system. Users decide randomly and independently with a minimal amount of knowledge about the system at random times to make a message…

This paper studies the performance of a feedback control loop closed via an error-free digital communication channel with transmission delay. The system comprises a discrete-time noisy linear time-invariant (LTI) plant whose single…

Scheduling of service requests in Cloud computing has traditionally focused on the reduction of pre-service wait, generally termed as waiting time. Under certain conditions such as peak load, however, it is not always possible to give…

In low power wireless sensor networks, MAC protocols usually employ periodic sleep/wake schedule to reduce idle listening time. Even though this mechanism is simple and efficient, it results in high end-to-end latency and low throughput. On…

Ultra-dense networks (UDNs) represent a transformative access architecture for upcoming sixth generation (6G) systems, poised to meet the surging demand for high data rates. Achieving precise synchronization across diverse base stations…

A canonical use case of Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC) in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems involves a multi-antenna transmitter communicating with $K$ users and sensing targets in its vicinity. For this setup,…

In this paper, a simple variation of classical Slotted Aloha is introduced and analyzed. The enhancement relies on adding multiple receivers that gather different observations of the packets transmitted by a user population in one slot. For…

Network coding is an effective idea to boost the capacity of wireless networks, and a variety of studies have explored its advantages in different scenarios. However, there is not much analytical study on throughput and end-to-end delay of…

One of the major challenges in Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) systems is to guarantee a required level of Quality of Service (QoS) to secondary users of the spectrum. In this paper, we propose efficient algorithms for deriving optimal…
