Mega-constellations have the potential for providing 6G Internet owing to the unique
advantage of global coverage. However, current satellite technologies are not omnipotent …

In this paper, a random access scheme is introduced, which relies on the combination of
packet erasure correcting codes and successive interference cancellation (SIC). The …

The rise of machine-to-machine communications has rekindled interest in random access
protocols as a support for a massive number of uncoordinatedly transmitting devices. The …

We study the computation power of the congested clique, a model of distributed computation
where n players communicate with each other over a complete network in order to compute …

We consider a multi-user wireless network in which each user has one packet of information
to transmit to a central receiver. We study an uncoordinated paradigm where the users send …

Random access represents possibly the simplest and yet one of the best known approaches
for sharing a channel among several users. Since their introduction in the 1970s, random …

This paper presents mZig, a novel physical layer design that enables a receiver to
simultaneously decode multiple packets from different transmitters in ZigBee. As a low …

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, such as …

Future machine-to-machine (M2M) communications need to support a massive number of
devices communicating with each other with little or no human intervention. Random access …

We propose a novel random access (RA) scheme with the quality of service (QoS)
guarantees for machine-to-machine (M2M) communications. We consider a slotted …
