— 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...
Abstract— We propose a packet sampling strategy called fixedperiod sampling, which selects at most one packet in every fixedlength period. Under the fixed-period sampling, the...
— We address a lifetime maximization problem for a single-hop wireless sensor network where multiple sensors encode and communicate their measurements of a Gaussian random source...
Live peer-to-peer (P2P) streaming applications have been successfully deployed in the Internet. With relatively simple peer selection protocol design, modern live P2P streaming ap...
— The global Internet routing infrastructure is a large and complex distributed system where routing changes occur constantly. Our objective in this paper is to develop a simple ...
