Collaborative Research: NeTS-NBD: Optimal Channel-Aware Access Control for Multi-hop Wireless Networks

这个项目旨在发展一种形式化的方法来分析无线网络中的信道感知随机接入。这项工作的独特之处在于：开发了模型，除其他参数外，将通道状态作为其公式的中心方面，并使用横切工具来分析此类网络的性能。在这个项目中，模型和最终解决方案的数学基础是优化和博弈论。在这一努力过程中将出现的具体结果包括：合并信道感知和捕获的模型，更好地理解随机接入中的机会主义的使用，最后，理解在多天线随机接入中分配自由度的方式。底层物理介质对访问方案性能的影响可能是相当大的，特别是在信道高度动态且受周围环境无数变化影响的无线设置中。因此，物理介质的简洁表示与复杂的分析技术相结合，以解决所产生的模型，对于利用随机接入中使用通道感知所产生的收益至关重要。

This project aims at developing a formal methodology for analyzing channel-aware random access in wireless networks. The unique features of this effort include: the development of models that incorporate, amongst other parameters, channel state as a central aspect of their formulation, and the use of cross-cutting tools to analyze the performance of such networks. The mathematical backbone from which the model and resulting solutions arise in this project are optimization and game theory. The specific results that will emerge during the course of this effort include: models that merge channel awareness and capture, a better understanding of the use of opportunism in random access, and finally, an understanding of the ways in which degrees of freedom can be allocated in multiple-antenna random access.The impact of the underlying physical medium on the performance of access schemes can be considerable, particularly in wireless settings where the channel is highly dynamic and is impacted by myriad changes in the surrounding environment. Thus, a succinct representation of the physical medium combined with sophisticated analytical techniques to tackle the resulting models are essential to tap into the gains resulting from the use of channel-awareness in random access.
