We consider a distributed system where each node keeps a local count for items (similar to elections where nodes are ballot boxes and items are candidates). A top-k query in such ...
Abstract--Designing diversity achieving schemes over the wireless broadband fading relay channels is crucial to achieve higher diversity gains. These gains are achieved by exploiti...
Abstract. The resource limited nature of WSNs require that protocols implemented on these networks be energy-efficient, scalable and distributed. This paper presents an analysis of...
Randomized protocols for hiding private information can be regarded as noisy channels in the information-theoretic sense, and the inference of the concealed information can be reg...
