In this paper, we consider the effects on network capacity when the nodes of an ad hoc network are allowed to cooperate. These results are then compared to the theoretical upper b...
—Two of the fundamental problems in peer-to-peer (P2P) streaming are as follows: what is the maximum streaming rate that can be sustained for all receivers, and what peering algo...

We study contention-resolution protocols for multiple-access channels. We show that every backoff protocol is transient if the arrival rate, , is at least 0.42 and that the capaci...

Abstract-- We consider static ad hoc wireless networks comprising significant inhomogeneities in the node spatial distribution over the area, and analyze the scaling laws of their ...
We study the best known general inner bound[1] and outer bound[2] for the capacity region of the two user discrete memory less channel. We prove that a seemingly stronger outer bou...
