In recent years, mobile elements (MEs) have been proposed as mechanical carriers of data to prolong the lifetime of sensor networks and to overcome network partitioning problem. A...
Nodes in a wireless network transmit messages through a shared medium. Thus, a Media Access Control (MAC) protocol is necessary to regulate and coordinate medium access. For some a...
Abstract-- We present a Start-time Fair Queueing (SFQ) algorithm that is computationally efficient and achieves fairness regardless of variation in a server capacity. We analyze it...
— Most application data units are too large to be carried in a single packet (or cell) and must be segmented for network delivery. To an application, the end-to-end delays and lo...
