Underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) have become highly efficient in performing
different operations in oceanic environments. Compared to terrestrial wireless sensor …

Many important network design problems are fundamentally combinatorial optimization
problems. A large number of such problems, however, cannot readily be tackled by …

Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA) has been widely used as a medium access control
(MAC) scheme in wireless networks mainly due to its simple and totally distributed …

Full-duplex has emerged as a new communication paradigm and is anticipated to double
wireless capacity. Existing studies of full-duplex mainly focused on its PHY layer design …

We consider the problem of scheduling in wireless networks with the aim of maintaining up-
to-date and synchronized (also called, aligned) information at the receiver across multiple …

Distributed control plane is a promising approach to a scalable software-defined networking
(SDN). However, traffic changes could incur load imbalance among individual controllers …

An Aloha-like spectrum access scheme without negotiation is considered for multiuser and
multichannel cognitive radio systems. To avoid collisions incurred by the lack of …

It was shown recently that carrier sense multiple access (CSMA)-like distributed algorithms
can achieve the maximal throughput in wireless networks (and task processing networks) …

The convergence of computer-communication networks towards an all-IP integrated network
has transformed Internet in a commercial commodity that has stimulated an un-precedent …

This work on cognitive radio access ventures beyond the more traditional" listen-before-talk"
paradigm that underlies many cognitive radio access proposals. We exploit the bi-directional …
