Attendees: Chandra, Anand

OFDMA MAC

How do we go about implementing the MAC layer for OFDMA in Simulink?

Impact of latency on network throughput

We would like to understand how the latency in carrier sensing would affect the throughput in a CSMA network. Seems like this would be an interesting area to explore theoretically.

Action Items

  1. Read about flash OFDM.
  2. Read Gallager's and Anurag's textbooks, and try to formulate the throughput problem mathematically.
  3. Search for existing publications in this space - what is the state of the art on the network throughput analysis in CSMA networks?
