— The IEEE 802.16j protocol for a multi-hop relay (MMR) WiMAX network is being developed to increase data rates and extend service coverage as an enhancement of existing WiMAX st...
Existing software proposals for electronic payments can be divided into "on-line" schemes that require participation of a trusted party (the bank) in every transaction an...
Efficient communication in Bluetooth scatternets requires design of intra and inter-piconet scheduling algorithms, and therefore numerous algorithms have been proposed. However, du...
A typical polling system consists of a number of queues, attended by a single server in a fixed order. The present study derives closed-form approximations for the mean waiting t...
