Orphan requests are a significant problem for multi-tier distributed systems since they adversely impact system correctness by violating the exactly-once semantics of application...
Abstract. Renewed interest in ALOHA-based Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols stems from their proposed applications to wireless ad hoc and sensor networks that require distribut...
— This paper presents an architecture for adaptive cognitive radio networks based on the concept of a “global control plane”. The proposed control architecture uses a predete...
This paper focuses on Bluetooth, a promising new wireless technology, developed mainly as a cable replacement. We argue that, in practice, Bluetooth devices will have different po...
Abstract. Gossip-based information dissemination protocols are considered easy to deploy, scalable and resilient to network dynamics. Loadbalancing is inherent in these protocols a...
