Probabilistic inference algorithms for belief updating, nding the most probable explanation, the maximum a posteriori hypothesis, and the maximum expected utility are reformulated...
—Performance of cross-layer protocols that recommend the relay of corrupted packets to higher layers can be improved significantly by accurately inferring/predicting the bit erro...
