In this paper, we consider a deadline constrained traffic and analyze the joint effects of packet queuing and adaptive modulation (AM) for packet transmission in MIMO systems. We p...
We consider the problem of approximating a family of isocontours in a sensor field with a topologically-equivalent family of simple polygons. Our algorithm is simple and distribu...
Unlike their hard realtime counterparts, soft realtime applications are only expected to guarantee their ”expected delay” over input data space. This paradigm shift calls for ...
Due to the lack of built-in quality of service support, IEEE 802.11 ad-hoc networks presents serious defies in meeting the demands of multimedia applications. To overcome such ch...
The emerging paradigms of service oriented architectures and utility-based computing have the potential to greatly reduce the cost of data management. Data management service prov...
