TL;DR: Whether this MAC scheme meets the design constraints of low-power and low-cost sensor networks is analyzed, and a detailed analytical evaluation of its performance in a star topology network, for uplink and acknowledged uplink traffic is provided.

TL;DR: An energy-efficient distributed multichannel MAC protocol for CR networks (MMAC-CR), which significantly improves performance by borrowing the licensed spectrum and protects primary users (PUs) from interference, even in hidden terminal situations.

TL;DR: This paper presents a flexible emulation environment implemented on an FPGA that is suitable to explore, evaluate and compare a wide range of NoC solutions with a very limited effort, and shows a speed-up of four orders of magnitude with respect to cycle-accurate HDL simulation, while retaining cycle accuracy.

TL;DR: In this article, an atomistic approach to introducing time-dependent variability into a circuit simulator in a realistic manner is demonstrated. The approach is based on previously proven physics of stochastic properties of individual gate oxide defects and their impact on FET operation.

TL;DR: The surprisingly large design freedom available for the basic problem is explored in-depth and the outline of a systematic solution methodology is proposed and the efficiency of the methodology is illustrated on a real-life motion estimation application.
