Multi-Round Contention in Wireless LANs with Multipacket Reception [PDF]
Multi-packet reception (MPR) has been recognized as a powerful capacity-enhancement technique for random-access wireless local area networks (WLANs). As is common with all random access protocols, the wireless channel is often under-utilized in MPR WLANs.

Directional Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocols in Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks: A Survey
This survey paper presents the state-of-the-art directional medium access control (MAC) protocols in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks (WAHSNs). The key benefits of directional antennas over omni-directional antennas are longer communication range ...

MARACAS: a real-time multicore VCPU scheduling framework [PDF]
This paper describes a multicore scheduling and load-balancing framework called MARACAS, to address shared cache and memory bus contention. It builds upon prior work centered around the concept of virtual CPU (VCPU) scheduling.

Aggregate Interference Modeling in Cognitive Radio Networks with Power and Contention Control [PDF]
In this paper, we present an interference model for cognitive radio (CR) networks employing power control, contention control or hybrid power/contention control schemes.

Submodular Optimization with Contention Resolution Extensions [PDF]
This paper considers optimizing a submodular function subject to a set of downward closed constraints. Previous literature on this problem has often constructed solutions by (1) discovering a fractional solution to the multi-linear extension and (2 ...

Random Access Game and Medium Access Control Design [PDF]
Motivated partially by a control-theoretic viewpoint, we propose a game-theoretic model, called random access game, for contention control. We characterize Nash equilibria of random access games, study their dynamics, and propose distributed algorithms (

A Q-Learning-Based Adaptive MAC Protocol for Internet of Things Networks
In Internet of Things (IoT) applications, sometimes the quality of service (QoS) of throughput for transmitting video or the QoS of bounded delay for control of a sensor node is required.
