We consider efficient real-time communication mechanisms for applications in unreliable and partitionable networks, where network partitions can occur unpredictably and nodes can ...
Recently, wireless local area network (WLAN) hotspots have been deployed in many areas (e.g., cafes, airports, university campuses). The new IEEE 802.11e standard further provides...
Guardbands are designed to insulate transmissions on adjacent frequencies from mutual interference. As more devices in a given area are packed into orthogonal wireless channels, c...
Many overload control mechanisms for Web based applications aim to prevent overload by setting limits on factors such as admitted load, number of server threads, buffer size. For ...
Applications in mobile ad-hoc networks can suffer from poor link quality and degraded network services. In particular, standard TCP over low-quality, long routing paths, can have ...
