In this paper we study the Gaussian relay-interference network, in which relay (helper) nodes are to facilitate competing information flows over a wireless network. We examine this problem for certain regimes of channel values, when one of the cross-links ...

We consider the problem of broadcasting in an ad hoc wireless network, where all nodes of the network are sources that want to transmit information to all other nodes. Our figure of merit is energy efficiency, a critical design parameter for wireless net- ...
In this paper, we study a gossip algorithm for distributed averaging over a wireless sensor network. The usual assumption is that, through properly chosen codes, the physical layer is reduced to a set of reliable bit pipes for the distributed averaging alg ...

Network coding has recently emerged as an alternative to traditional routing algorithms in communication systems. In network coding, the network nodes can combine the packets they receive before forwarding them to the neighbouring nodes. Intensive research ...
Designing a communication protocol for sensor networks often involves obtaining the "right" trade-off between energy efficiency and reliability. In this paper, we show that network coding provides a means to elegantly balance these two goals. We present th ...
n this paper, we combine network cod- ing and tomographic techniques for topology infer- ence. Our goal is to infer the topology of a network by sending probes between a given set of multiple sources and multiple receivers and by having interme- diate node ...
Interference alignment has proven to be a powerful tool in characterizing the high SNR behavior of wireless networks. Using this technique, Cadambe and Jafar showed that the sum degrees-of-freedom for the K-user interference channel is K/2 rather than 1 as ...

The low quality of wireless links leads to perpetual packet losses. While an acknowledgment mechanism is generally used to cope with these losses, multiple retransmissions nevertheless occur. Opportunistic routing limits these retransmissions by taking adv ...
For impulse-radio ultra-wide band (IR-UWB) networks without global synchronization, the first step for correct packet reception is packet detection and timing acquisition: Before recovering the payload of the packet, the destination must detect that the pa ...
