Cross-Layer Energy-Efficiency Optimization of Packet Based Wireless MIMO Communication Systems

Andreas Peter Burg, Carl Christian Sten Dominic Senning, Georgios Karakonstantis

Energy in today's short-range wireless communication is mostly spent on the analog-and digital hardware rather than on radiated power. Hence, purely information-theoretic considerations fail to achieve the lowest energy per information bit and the optimiza ...

Random Access With Physical-Layer Network Coding

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Jasper Goseling

We consider a physical-layer network coding strategy for the random-access channel, based on compute-and-forward. When packets collide, it is possible to reliably recover a linear combination of the packets at the receiver. Over many rounds of transmission ...

CSMA/CA in Time and Frequency Domains

Patrick Thiran, Julien Pierre Sacha Herzen

It has recently been shown that flexible channelization, whereby wireless stations adapt their spectrum bands on a per-frame basis, is feasible in practice. In this paper, we propose TF-CSMA/CA, an algorithm for flexible channelization that schedules packe ...

Transparency Instead of Neutrality

Adrian Perrig, Aikaterini Argyraki, Christos Pappas

The technical community has so far defined network neutrality in terms of specific mechanisms, e.g., policing or shaping. We argue that these definitions are problematic: according to them, a non-neutral network may be preferable (for all users) to a neutr ...

Cross Layer Energy-Efficiency Optimization For Cognitive Radio Transceivers

Andreas Peter Burg, Carl Christian Sten Dominic Senning

Designing energy-efficient cognitive radio transceivers requires joint optimization of medium access control and the physical layer implementation. In this paper we show an energy efficiency optimization strategy for IEEE 802.11n compliant transceivers in ...
