This paper investigates the protocol overhead pipelining between the host and network interface card (NIC). Existing researches into the protocol overhead pipelining assume that p...
— In sensor networks, MAC protocols based on Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) with wakeup and sleep periods have attracted considerable interest because of their low power co...
Abstract— Traditionally, reliable multicast protocols are deterministic in nature. It is precisely this determinism that tends to become their limiting factor when aiming at reli...
In this paper we analyze a novel paradigm of reliable communications which is not based on the traditional timeout-and-retransmit mechanism of TCP. Our approach, which we call FBP...
— A novel framework is presented for the study of scalability in ad hoc networks. Using this framework, the first asymptotic analysis is provided with respect to network size, m...
