Abstract—Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are typically composed of low-cost sensors that are deeply integrated with physical environments. As a result, the sensing performance of...
The construction of a large class of distributed systems can be simplified by leveraging middleware, which is layered between network operating systems and application components....
—The advent of practical rateless codes enables implementation of highly efficient packet-level forward error correction (FEC) strategies for reliable data broadcasting in loss-...
—In 3G data networks, network operators would like to balance system throughput while serving users in a fair manner. This is achieved using the notion of proportional fairness. ...
