- Interference-Aware MAC Protocol for Wireless Networks by a Game-Theoretic Approach
- This paper proposes an interference-aware MAC protocol using a simple transmission strategy motivated by a game-theoretic approach. The paper formulates a channel access game, which considers nodes concurrently transmitting in nearby clusters, incorporating a realistic wireless communication model - the SINR model. Under inter-cluster interference, one derives a decentralized transmission...

- An Information-Theoretical View of Network-Aware Malware Attacks
- This paper investigates three aspects: a network vulnerability as the non-uniform vulnerable-host distribution, threats, i.e., intelligent malwares that exploit such a vulnerability, and defense, i.e., challenges for fighting the threats. They first study five large data sets and observe consistent clustered vulnerable-host distributions. They then present a new metric, referred...
