Destination buffer analysis for packets rejection obliteration in multi-channel networks

Georgia Fragkouli

In this paper we study a multi-channel network, each station of which is equipped with a network interface that has a receiver buffer of multiple packets. In this way, each station is able to receive multiple packets per time instant. We adopt a synchronou ...

Communication Versus Computation: Duality for Multiple-Access Channels and Source Coding

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Sung Hoon Lim, Jingge Zhu

Computation codes in network information theory are designed for scenarios where the decoder is not interested in recovering the information sources themselves, but only a function thereof. Körner and Marton showed for distributed source coding (DSC) that ...

How CSMA/CA With Deferral Affects Performance and Dynamics in Power-Line Communications

Patrick Thiran, Julien Pierre Sacha Herzen, Christina Vlachou

Power-line communications (PLC) are becoming a key component in home networking, because they provide easy and high-throughput connectivity. The dominant MAC protocol for high data-rate PLC, the IEEE 1901, employs a CSMA/CA mechanism similar to the backoff ...

Analysis and Enhancement of CSMA/CA With Deferral in Power-Line Communications

Patrick Thiran, Julien Pierre Sacha Herzen, Christina Vlachou

Power-line communications are employed in home networking to provide easy and high-throughput connectivity. The IEEE 1901, the MAC protocol for power-line networks, employs a CSMA/CA protocol similar to that of 802.11, but is substantially more complex, wh ...

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 ...

Performance Analysis of MAC for Power-Line Communications

Patrick Thiran, Julien Pierre Sacha Herzen, Christina Vlachou

We investigate the IEEE 1901 MAC protocol, the dominant protocol for high data rate power-line communications. 1901 employs a CSMA/CA mechanism similar to – but much more complex than – the backoff mechanism of 802.11. Because of this extra complexity, and ...

Towards compact and frequency-tunable antenna solutions for MIMO transmission with a single RF chain

Julien Perruisseau-Carrier, Mohsen Yousefbeiki

Recently, a technique called beam-space MIMO has been demonstrated as an effective approach for transmitting multiple signals while using a single RF-chain. In this work, we present novel design considerations and a compact antenna solution to stimulate th ...

Probabilistic Spinning Reserve Provision Model in Multi-Control Zone Power System

Mokhtar Bozorg, Sidi-Rachid Cherkaoui, Ali Ahmadi Khatir

Inter-zonal trading in multi-area power system (MAPS) improves the market efficiency and the system reliability by sharing the resources (energy and reserve services) across zonal boundaries. Actually, each area can operate with less reserve resources than ...

Simple Relaying Strategies for Half-duplex Networks

Christina Fragouli, Ayfer Özgür Aydin, Siddhartha Brahma

We consider the diamond network where a source communicates with the destination through N non-interfering half-duplex relays. Using simple outer bounds on the capacity of the network, we show that simple relaying strategies having exactly two states and a ...

Simple schedules for half-duplex networks

Christina Fragouli, Siddhartha Brahma

We consider the diamond network where a source communicates with the destination through N non-interfering half-duplex relays. Deriving a simple approximation to the capacity of the network, we show that simple schedules having exactly two states and avoid ...

A probabilistic spinning reserve market model considering DisCos different value of lost loads

Sidi-Rachid Cherkaoui, Ali Ahmadi Khatir

In practice, some customers like industrial ones have higher value of involuntary lost load (VOLL) than other customers and thus, are willing to pay more for higher reliability levels than those with less VOLL, and consequently, they are more concerned wit ...

Throughput-Delay Tradeoff for Hierarchical Cooperation in Ad Hoc Wireless Networks

Olivier Lévêque, Ayfer Özgür Aydin

Hierarchical cooperation has recently been shown to achieve better throughput scaling than classical multihop schemes under certain assumptions on the channel model in static wireless networks. However, the end-to-end delay of this scheme turns out to be s ...
