Multiuser and cooperative orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) systems are being actively researched and adopted in wireless standards, owing to their advantages of robustness to multipath fading, modularity, ...

Wireless systems with multiple antennas at both the transmitter and receiver (MIMO systems) have been the focus of research in the recent past due to their ability to provide higher data rates and better reliability than ...

This thesis is concerned with analytical modeling of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) that are based on IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF). Such networks are popularly known as WiFi networks. We have ...

The radio frequency (RF) spectrum as a natural resource is severely under-utilized over time and space due to an inefficient licensing framework. As a result, in-creasing cellular and wireless network usage is placing ...
