We show that CSMA is able to spontaneously synchronize transmissions in a wireless network with constant-size packets, and that this property can be used to devise efficient synch...
Abstract—Packet scheduling disciplines play an important role in providing Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees to applications traffic in high speed networks. Several scheduling...
Most common network protocols (e.g., the Internet Protocol) work with variable size packets, whereas contemporary switches still operate with fixed size cells, which are easier t...
We investigate the optimum transmission strategy that minimizes the overall distortion for delaysensitive but distortion-tolerant data. We consider a set of source symbols residin...
In this paper, we consider several discrete-time priority queues with priority jumps. In a priority scheduling scheme with priority jumps, real-time and non-real-time packets arri...
