Future M2M communications will likely have many intriguing uses. But their massive deployment has serious drawbacks. The biggest challenge is making sure the wireless medium and network can support thousands of devices in this communication pattern while

Contention Resolution with Heterogeneous Job Sizes [PDF]
We study the problem of contention resolution for different-sized jobs on a simple channel. When a job makes a run attempt, it learns only whether the attempt succeeded or failed. We first analyze binary exponential backoff, and show that it achieves a makespan of V2Θ(√logn) with high probability, where V is the total work of all n contending jobs ...

Joint estimation and contention-resolution protocol for wireless random access
We propose a contention-based random-access protocol, designed for wireless networks where the number of users is not a priori known. The protocol operates in rounds divided into equal-duration slots, performing at the same time estimation of the number ...

ESTIMATION OF BURSTS LENGTH AND DESIGN OF A FIBER DELAY LINE BASED OBS ROUTER [PDF]
The demand for higher bandwidth is increasing day by day and this ever growing demand cannot be catered to with current electronic technology. Thus new communication technology like optical communication needs to be used.

Contention Resolution, with and without a Global Clock
In the Contention Resolution problem $n$ parties each wish to have exclusive use of a shared resource for one unit of time. The problem has been studied since the early 1970s, under a variety of assumptions on feedback given to the parties, how the parties wake up, knowledge of $n$, and so on.

Strategic Contention Resolution in Multiple Channels [PDF]
We consider the problem of resolving contention in communication networks with selfish users. In a \textit{contention game} each of $n \geq 2$ identical players has a single information packet that she wants to transmit using one of $k \geq 1$ multiple-access channels.

Enhancing the Selection of Backoff Interval Using Fuzzy Logic over Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
IEEE 802.11 is the de facto standard for medium access over wireless ad hoc network. The collision avoidance mechanism (i.e., random binary exponential backoff—BEB) of IEEE 802.11 DCF (distributed coordination function) is inefficient and unfair ...

Probabilistic Model Checking: One Step Forward in Wireless Sensor Networks Simulation
A novel collision resolution algorithm for wireless sensor networks is formally analysed via probabilistic model checking. The algorithm called 2CS-WSN is specifically designed to be used during the contention phase of IEEE 802.15.4. Discrete time Markov
