Mobile computing characteristics demand data management systems to support independent operation. However, the execution of updates in a mobile client usually need to be considere...
—Recent research in pervasive computing has shown that context-awareness and dynamic adaptation are fundamental requirements of mobile distributed applications. However, most app...
We present a novel approach to conserve power in networked mobile devices. Our approach exploits communication within a pervasive smart space as an opportunity to save power as op...
IEEE 802.11 wireless local area networks that span large buildings or campuses must comprise multiple cells, several of which must necessarily be cochannel cells. It can be shown ...
We study a wireless network under the 802.11 random access protocol, supporting multiple physical layer rates. Based on models for the effective packet rates achieved at the MAC ...
