| Sep 3 | Fine-grained Channel Access in Wireless LAN | Proposes FICA, a fine-grained channel access method for WLANs: new PHY architecture based on OFDM, frequency-domain contention, stations contend for OFDM subcarriers using PHY layer RTS/CTS. | SIGCOMM '10 | Dimitris | fica.ppt |
| Sep 10 | The Spaces Between Us: Setting and Maintaining Boundaries in Wireless Spectrum Access | Proposes Ganache, a guardband configuration system; sets and adapts guardbands based on local topology and propagation conditions. | MobiCom '10 | Wei-Cheng | ganache.pdf |
| Sep 17 | Efficient Error Estimating Coding: Feasibility and Applications (BEST PAPER) | Proposes new type of codes, Error Estimating Codes (EEC). EEC does not correct errors (unlike Error Correction Codes -- ECC) but enables the receiver to estimate the BER with lower redundancy and computational overhead than ECC. | SIGCOMM '10 | Jaemin | EEC.pdf |
| Sep 24 | NO MEETING | ||||
| Oct 1 | Exploring Link Correlation for Efficient Flooding in Wireless Sensor Networks | Proposes Collective Flooding (CF), a flooding technique exploiting link correlation and collective ACKs to achieve the same level of flooding reliability as state-of-the-art solutions with 30-50% lower number of packet transmissions and dissemination delay. | NSDI '10 | Iftekharul | |
| Oct 8 | Frequency-Aware Rate Adaptation and MAC Protocols | Proposes FARA, a combined frequency-aware rate adaptation and MAC protocol. Computes per-frequency (OFDM subcarrier) SNR, adapts bitrate independently across frequencies, allocates each sender-receiver pair the frequencies that work best for that pair. | MobiCom '09 | Xiaohang | |
| Oct 15 | CSMA/CN: Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Notification | Since CSMA/CD (collision detection) is not feasible in wireless networks, the paper proposes CSMA/CN (colision notification), exploiting signal correlation. | MobiCom '10 | Dimitris | |

| Oct 29 | Distributed and Provably-Efficient Algorithms for Joint Channel-Assignment,
Scheduling and Routing in Multi-Channel Ad Hoc Wireless Networks |
Develops online algorithms to jointly solve the channel-assignment, scheduling and routing problem. Shows the algorithms are provably efficient, i.e., even compared with the optimal centralized and offline algorithm, they can achieve a provable fraction of the maximum system capacity. | ToN '09 | Can | |
| Nov 5 | A Case for Adapting Channel Width in Wireless Networks | Makes the case for systems that adapt channel width, proposes SampleWidth, a channel width adaptation algorithm for the base case of a sender-receiver pair. | SIGCOMM '08 | Wei-Cheng | |
| Nov 12 | NO MEETING | ||||
| Nov 19 | Supporting Demanding Wireless Applications with Frequency-agile Radios | Proposes Jello, an alternative (distributed) approach to CSMA that relies on frequency-agile radios. Addresses the spectrum fragmentation problem using two techniques: online spectrum defragmentation and non-contiguous access. | NSDI '10 | Xiaohang | |
| Nov 26 | NO MEETING - Thanksgiving | ||||
| Dec 3 | Learning to Share: Narrowband-Friendly Wideband Wireless Networks | Proposes SWIFT, a system that allows high-throughput wideband nodes to coexist with unknown narrow-band devices (802.11, ZigBee), without sacrificing throughput and distance of wideband devices. | SIGCOMM '08 | Dawei |
