Over the last decade, the paradigm of Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) has matured to a
reasonably commonly understood one, and there has been extensive research on various …

Optimal capacity analysis in multi-radio multi-channel wireless networks by nature incurs the
formulation of a mixed integer programming, which is NP-hard in general. The current state …

Introducing D2D communications into wireless cellular networks is viewed as a potential
method to relieve the increasing traffic in the base stations. However, the cellular users will …

Age of Information (AoI), a metric measuring the information freshness, has drawn increased
attention due to its importance in monitoring applications in which nodes send timestamped …

Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT) is regarded as the network of interconnected smart
underwater objects that enables marine monitoring and exploration. Underwater acoustic …

Mobile users in public vehicles (train, buses, etc.) suffer from low signal quality due to the
enclosed nature of the vehicles. Small cells may be used to provide good signal quality in …

Most existing multichannel medium access control (MAC) protocols have at least one of the
following four performance bottlenecks: 1) global synchronization among users; 2) …

In this paper we consider the time-varying characteristics of practical wireless networks and
propose a joint dynamic rate allocation and transmission scheduling optimization scheme …

Spectrum trading creates more accessing opportunities for secondary users (SUs) and
economically benefits the primary users (PUs). However, it is challenging to implement …

To break through the limitation of battery-powered wireless sensor networks, a novel kind of
network, named battery-free wireless sensor network (BF-WSN), is proposed. Battery-free …
