On the Complexity of Scheduling in Half-Duplex Diamond Networks

Christina Fragouli, Ayfer Özgür Aydin, Siddhartha Brahma

We consider an n-relay Gaussian diamond network where a source communicates to a destination with the help of n half-duplex relays. Achieving rates close to the capacity of this network requires to employ all the n relays under an optimal transmit/receive ...

On Cooperative Wireless Network Secrecy

Emre Telatar, Suhas Diggavi, Etienne Perron

Given that wireless communication occurs in a shared and inherently broadcast medium, the transmissions are vulnerable to undesired eavesdropping. This occurs even when a point-to-point communication is sought, and hence a fundamental question is whether w ...

Maximizing the Delivery of MPR Broadcasting under Realistic Physical Layer Assumptions

François Ingelrest

It is now commonly accepted that the unit disk graph used to model the physical layer in wireless networks does not reflect real radio transmissions, and that a more realistic model should be considered for experimental simulations. Previous work on realis ...
