—The implementation of distributed network utility maximization (NUM) algorithms hinges heavily on information feedback through message passing among network elements. In practic...
— 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...
Energy consumption of the medium access control (MAC) algorithm is one of the key performance metrics in today's ubiquitous wireless networks of battery-operated devices. We ...
In multi-hop networks, packet schedulers at downstream nodes have an opportunity to make up for excessive latencies due to congestion at upstream nodes. Similarly, when packets in...
— Three-stage non-blocking switching fabrics are the next step in scaling current crossbar switches to many hundreds or few thousands of ports. Congestion (output contention) man...
