Abstract

The shared medium of wireless communication networks presents many technical challenges that offer a rich modeling and design space across the physical and medium access control layers of the protocol stack. This dissertation is organized into three tasks that are primarily concerned with characterizing and maximizing throughput performance in such networks, with a secondary focus on the interference models employed therein.
