Priority scheduling for packets is becoming a hot topic, as attemps are being made to integrate voice services in existing data networks. In this paper, we consider a discrete-tim...
—Real-time systems need to use the schedulability test to determine whether or not admitted tasks can meet their deadlines. The utilization based schedulability test is the most ...
Ad hoc networks formed without the aid of any established infrastructure are typically multi-hop networks. Location dependent contention and "hidden terminal" problem ma...
Real-time systems are often designed using preemptive scheduling and worst-case execution time estimates to guarantee the execution of high priority tasks. There is, however, an i...
The evolution of wireless devices along with the increase in user mobility have created new challenges such as network partitioning and intermittent connectivity. These new challe...
