—We consider network reliability in layered networks where the lower layer experiences random link failures. In layered networks, each failure at the lower layer may lead to mult...
This paper investigates the random channel access mechanism specified in the IEEE 802.16 standard for the uplink traffic in a Point-to-MultiPoint (PMP) network architecture. An ana...
—In this paper the problem of evaluating the statistics of the connected nodes position in a multi-hop wireless random ad hoc network is addressed. In particular, an analytical m...
—In battery-constrained large-scale sensor networks, nodes are prone to random failures due to various reasons, such as energy depletion and hostile environment. Random failures ...
Agent-based simulation provides a methodology to investigate complex systems behavior, such as supply chains, while incorporating many empirical elements relative to both systems ...
