New Internet services and technologies call for higher packet switching capacities in the core network. Thus, a performance bottleneck arises at the backbone routers, as forwarding...
— Recently, research on disconnected networks has been fostered by several studies on delay-tolerant networks, which are designed in order to sustain disconnected operations. We ...

Networks of small devices, such as environmental sensors, introduce a number of new challenges for traditional protocols and approaches. In particular, the extreme resource constr...
—In this paper, we introduce a cross-layer design framework to the multiple access problem in contention-based wireless ad hoc networks. The motivation for this study is twofold,...
In this paper the tradeoff between energy and delay for wireless networks is studied. A network using a request-to-send (RTS) and clear-to-send (CTS) type medium access control (M...
