Conclusion and future work
Conclusion:
q Studied the performance of code-based MAC protocols
q The MAC scheme is topology-transparent with min. performance
      guarantee and potentially good average performance
q Hermitian codes guarantee better minimum throughput and less
   maximum and minimum delay than RS codes in large, sparse networks
q Careful selection of codewords can drastically improve average
   case performance
Future work and challenges ahead:
q  A hybrid scheme contention-based/code-based for heterogeneous-traffic
q  Problem of the distribution of unique codes
q  Implementation
