Protocols that provide reliable communicationon top of a network that can lose packets rely on periodically retransmitting packets. The choice of retransmission timeout critically...
: The analysis of Biological Regulatory Network (BRN) leads to compute the set of the possible behaviours of the biological components. These behaviours are seen as trajectories an...
— 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...
: We consider the combined control problem of connection admission, flow rate, and bandwidth allocation (capacity, service-rate) under nonstationary conditions. A fluid flow model ...
