The size of the carrier sensing range has a great impact on the network performance. Previous studies have focus on computing asymptotic optimum carrier sensing range using unrealistic interference models. In this paper, based on realistic interference model, we propose a framework to determine the optimum carrier sensing range of a network. By regarding the given network and the settings as in...

This paper presents the key ideas behind the ICT CROWD (Connectivity management for eneRgy Optimised Wireless Dense networks) project, funded by the European Commission. The project moves from the observation that wireless traffic demand is currently growing exponentially. This growing demand can only be satisfied by increasing the density of points of access and combining different wireless te...

In this paper, we re-visit the problem of unconditionally reliable message transmission (URMT) and unconditionally secure message transmission (USMT) in a directed network under the presence of a threshold adaptive Byzantine adversary, having unbounded computing power. Desmedt et.al [5] have given the necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of URMT and USMT protocols in directed ne...

Three-dimensional multiple-input multiple-output (3D MIMO) and large-scale MIMO are two promising technologies for upcoming high data rate wireless communications, since the inter-user interference can be reduced by exploiting antenna vertical gain and degree of freedom, respectively. In this paper, we derive the achievable sum rate of 3D MIMO systems employing zero-forcing (ZF) receivers, acco...

Link failure and unreachable nodes due to interference from external devices are common problems in WSNs. These interferences can be a major inhibitor to node performance and network stability. In order to tolerate these failures, we propose an immune-inspired self healing system where an individual node can detect degradations in network performance, perform diagnostic tests, and provide autom...

This paper describes the origins and history of multiple resource theory in accounting for di€ erences in dual task interference. One particular application of the theory, the 4-dimensional multiple resources model, is described in detail, positing that there will be greater interference between two tasks to the extent that they share stages (perceptual/cognitive vs response) sensory modalities...

The spatial-and-temporal correlation of interference has been well studied in Poisson networks where the interfering base stations (BSs) are independent of each other. However, there exists spatial interdependence including attraction and repulsion among the BSs in practical wireless networks, affecting the interference distribution and hence the network performance. In view of this, by modelin...

In this paper we coipare the theoretical performances of two schemes of optical communication through the atmospheric turbulence: (1) heterodyne detection and (2) video detection. The signal-to-noise ratios (S/N) in the output current of a detector are expressed for both schemes in terms of the correlation function of the refractive index fluctuations of the turbulence. The results of a separat...

We have introduced in former work [5] the concept of Deep Randomness and its interest to design Unconditionally Secure communication protocols. We have in particular given an example of such protocol and introduced how to design a Deep Random Generator associated to that protocol. Deep Randomness is a form of randomness in which, at each draw of random variable, not only the result is unpredict...

Since interference is the main performance-limiting factor in most wireless networks, it is crucial to characterize the interference statistics. The two main determinants of the interference are the network geometry (spatial distribution of concurrently transmitting nodes) and the path loss law (signal attenuation with distance). For certain classes of node distributions, most notably Poisson p...
