Crossbar arbitration—which determines the allocation of output ports to packets in the input queues—is a performance-critical stage in the overall performance of routers for i...
Energy constrained systems such as sensor networks can increase their usable lifetimes by extracting energy from their environment. However, environmental energy will typically no...
IEEE 802.11 MAC, called the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF), employs carrier sensing to effectively avoid collisions, but this makes it difficult to maximally reuse the sp...
A prominent functionality of a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is environmental monitoring. For this purpose the WSN creates a model for the real world by using abstractions to pars...
In this paper, we assess the protection mechanisms entered into recent clients to fight against the Sybil attack in KAD, a widely deployed Distributed Hash Table. We study three m...
