We evaluate the impact of network, and protocol heterogeneity on real-time application performance. We focus on TCP and UDP supportive role, also in the context of network stabili...
— Many distributed multiple access (MAC) protocols use an exponential backoff mechanism. In that mechanism, a node picks a random backoff time uniformly in an interval that doubl...
—In this paper we present a methodology for the design of congestion control protocols for background data transfers that have a minimal delay impact on short TCP transfers and c...
In ad-hoc Grids where the availability of resources and tasks changes over the time, distributing the tasks among the scarce resources in a balanced way is a challenging task. In ...
Significant TCP unfairness in ad hoc wireless networks has been reported during the past several years. This unfairness results from the nature of the shared wireless medium and ...
