human: Given a node-centered hypergraph: <hypergraph>, where nodes represent papers and hyperedges represent sets of papers co-cited by a source paper.

Details of the hypergraph:
Center node: "construction of short protocol sequences with worst case throughput guarantee"
  Abstract: Protocol sequences are used in channel access for the multiple-access collision channel without feedback. A new construction of protocol sequences with a guarantee of worst-case system throughput is proposed. The construction is based on Chinese remainder theorem. The Hamming crosscorrelation is proved to be concentrated around the mean. The sequence period is much shorter than existing protocol sequences with the same throughput performance. The new construction reduces the complexity in implementation and also shortens the waiting time until a packet can be sent successfully.

Connected through hyperedge HE-1 (induced by source paper "transmission sequence design and allocation for wide area ad hoc networks"):
  with members:
    - "a general upper bound on the size of constant weight conflict avoiding codes"
    - "construction and applications of crt sequences"

The 40 classes are: cs.NA(Numerical Analysis), cs.MM(Multimedia), cs.LO(Logic in Computer Science), cs.CY(Computers and Society), cs.CR(Cryptography and Security), cs.DC(Distributed, Parallel, and Cluster Computing), cs.HC(Human-Computer Interaction), cs.CE(Computational Engineering, Finance, and Science), cs.NI(Networking and Internet Architecture), cs.CC(Computational Complexity), cs.AI(Artificial Intelligence), cs.MA(Multiagent Systems), cs.GL(General Literature), cs.NE(Neural and Evolutionary Computing), cs.SC(Symbolic Computation), cs.AR(Hardware Architecture), cs.CV(Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition), cs.GR(Graphics), cs.ET(Emerging Technologies), cs.SY(Systems and Control), cs.CG(Computational Geometry), cs.OH(Other Computer Science), cs.PL(Programming Languages), cs.SE(Software Engineering), cs.LG(Machine Learning), cs.SD(Sound), cs.SI(Social and Information Networks), cs.RO(Robotics), cs.IT(Information Theory), cs.PF(Performance), cs.CL(Computation and Language), cs.IR(Information Retrieval), cs.MS(Mathematical Software), cs.FL(Formal Languages and Automata Theory), cs.DS(Data Structures and Algorithms), cs.OS(Operating Systems), cs.GT(Computer Science and Game Theory), cs.DB(Databases), cs.DL(Digital Libraries), cs.DM(Discrete Mathematics). Directly output the class name.
