Underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs) have become more and more important in
ocean exploration applications, such as ocean monitoring, pollution detection, ocean …

The effect of spatial diversity on the throughput and reliability of wireless networks is
examined. Spatial diversity is realized through multiple independently fading …

In this paper, a novel cognitive multiple-access strategy in the presence of a cooperating
relay is proposed. Exploiting an important phenomenon in wireless networks, source …

There has been considerable interest in the idea of cross-layer design of wireless networks.
This is motivated by the need to provide a greater level of adaptivity to variations of wireless …

Multiuser diversity refers to a type of diversity present across different users in a fading
environment. This diversity can be exploited by scheduling transmissions so that users …

As the focus of virtual reality technology is shifting from singleperson experiences to multi-
user interactions, it becomes increasingly important to accommodate multiple co-located …

Cloud Radio Access Network (CRAN) is proposed as a promising network architecture for
future mobile communications. In this paper, we consider the topic of active user detection …

Multipacket reception (MPR) is the capability of simultaneous decoding of more than one
packet from multiple concurrent transmissions. Continuous investigations on increasing the …

This article reviewed the various aspects of MAC-PHY cross-layer designs, with the goals of
introducing pertinent queuing and stability analysis tools to the SP-oriented readership, and …

Random access is well motivated and has been widely applied when the network traffic is
bursty and the expected throughput is not high. The main reason behind relatively low …
