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 ...

We present a protocol that enables to create pairwise keys between nodes in a wireless network, so that the keys are secure from an adversary, Eve, with unbounded computational and memory capabilities, but with limited network presence. Our proposed protoc ...

Maximum Throughput Gain of Compute-and-Forward for Multiple Unicast

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Jasper Goseling

Compute-and-Forward (CF), also known as reliable physical layer network coding, is a technique that provides the possibility of exploiting the features of broadcast and superposition in wireless networks. It has been shown that the throughput for multiple ...

On the MAC for Power-Line Communications: Modeling Assumptions and Performance Tradeoffs

Patrick Thiran, Julien Pierre Sacha Herzen, Christina Vlachou

Power-line communications are becoming a key component in home networking. The dominant MAC protocol for high data-rate power-line communications, IEEE 1901, employs a CSMA/CA mechanism similar to the backoff process of 802.11. Existing performance evaluat ...

Creating Secrets out of Erasures

Christina Fragouli, Suhas Diggavi, Panagiotis Kostopoulos

Current security systems often rely on the adversary's computational limitations. Wireless networks offer the opportunity for a different, complementary kind of security, which relies on the adversary's limited network presence (i.e., that the adversary ca ...

Building Wireless Network Coding Protocols

Lorenzo Keller

This work studies how to build wireless network protocols that achieve better reliability, lower delay and higher throughput than existing alternatives by using network coding and by exploiting the broadcast nature of the wireless channel. In the first par ...

Bringing Stability to Wireless Mesh Networks

Adel Aziz

Wireless mesh networks were designed as a mean to rapidly deliver large-scale communication capabilities without the support of any prior infrastructure. Among the different properties of mesh networks, the self-organizing feature is particularly interesti ...

In this paper, we formulate a delay-power control (DPC) scheme for wireless networking, which efficiently balances delay against transmitter power on each wireless link. The DPC scheme is scalable, as each link autonomously updates its power based on the i ...

Self-Synchronizing Properties of CSMA Wireless Multi-hop Networks

Patrick Thiran, Olivier Dousse, Kuang Xu

We show that CSMA is able to spontaneously synchronize transmissions in a wireless network with constant-size packets, and that this property can be used to devise efficient synchronized CSMA scheduling mechanisms without message passing. Using tools from ...
