	abstract = {Trust establishment in networks is the essential foundation for follow-on security mechanisms, such as key management and secure transmission. In this paper, we concentrate on self-organized, distributed and resource-constraint networks which pose formidable challenges on trust establishment due to lack of infrastructure and centralized servers. We model our trust establishment strategy as a local voting scheme and discuss its long run behavior. More specifically, we investigate the dynamic evolution of trust within the network, i.e. how trust spreads among nodes, via analyzing its convergence behavior. By theoretical analysis based on graph theory, we also find the conditions under which trust spreads to a maximum set of nodes and parameters that speed up or slow down this transition.},

	abstract = {A multichannel random access protocol called FMCSA for multislot short messages is proposed in this paper to be used in access networks with large propagation delay. This protocol combines random access with the use of packet level forward error correction coding for new messages and scheduled retransmissions for partially received messages. Analytical and simulation results show that FMCSA can achieve a higher throughput and lower delay than slotted Aloha. When the system is operating in the low load region, the short messages can be delivered in their first attempts with very high probability. With the load increasing, more messages will be received partially in their first attempts and the scheduled retransmission scheme will guarantee the partially received messages to be recovered in their second attempts. Therefore the delay performance of FMCSA is much more robust to the load fluctuation than slot Aloha.},
