Determining an appropriate sending rate when beginning data transmission into a network with unknown characteristics is a fundamental issue in best-effort networks. Traditionally,...
In this paper we analyze the performance of a TCP-like flow control in a lossy environment. The transmission rate in the control scheme that we consider has a linear growth rate;...

Abstract. To interconnect a wireless sensor network (WSN) to the Internet, we propose to use TCP/IP as the standard protocol for all network entities. We present a cross layer desi...

— We consider wireless multihop data networks with random multi-access mechanisms at the MAC layer. Our aim is to study the performance as perceived by users in a dynamic setting...
Abstract--Many shared-memory parallel systems use lockbased synchronization mechanisms to provide mutual exclusion or reader-writer access to memory locations. Software locks are i...
