: Several polling algorithms have been proposed to overcome the slot wastage problem due to the exchange of POLL or NULL packets in the case of no data to transmit. However, most o...
—Optimal scheduling for concurrent transmissions in rate-nonadaptive wireless networks is NP-hard. Optimal scheduling in rate-adaptive wireless networks is even more difficult, ...
In this paper, we present surplus fair scheduling (SFS), a proportional-share CPU scheduler designed for symmetric multiprocessors. We first show that the infeasibility of certain...
Bluetooth is a wireless communication technology, aimed at supporting connectivity among close proximity mobile devices. Bluetooth enables the design of low-power, low-cost, and s...
Important properties of many protocols are liveness or availability, i.e., that something good happens now and then. In asynchronous scenarios these properties obviously depend on...
