IEEE 802.11, the standard of wireless local area networks (WLANs), allows the coexistence of asynchronous and time-bounded traffic using the distributed coordination function (DCF)...
— Rate adaptive multimedia streams offer significant system and client benefits over non-adaptive streams. These benefits come at the price of increased complexity in providin...
Despite numerous efforts, the problem of providing per-flow Quality of Service in a scalable manner still remains an active area of research. This paper introduces a scalable arch...
Several recent proposals for an “active networks” architecture advocate the placement of user-defined computation within the network as a key mechanism to enable a wide range...
Higher layer protocols in wireless networks need to dynamically adapt to observed network response. The common approach is that each session employs end-to-end monitoring to estim...
