Recent growth of the multimedia content delivery over the Internet and the popularity of the peer-to-peer (P2P) architecture have opened new horizons for emerging novel services ov...
—This paper considers the medium access problem in the IEEE 802.11 standard. Although the transmission bit rates have clearly increased, some MAC related problems remain unsolved...
Wireless Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols such as IEEE 802.11 use distributed contention resolution mechanisms for sharing the wireless channel. In this environment, selfish...
Wireless sensor networks are expected to be deployed in harsh environments characterized by extremely poor and fluctuating channel conditions. With the generally adopted single-s...
We propose a novel approach for de ning and querying a super-peer within a schema-based super-peer network organized into a two-level architecture: the low level, called the peer l...
