In this paper we address the real-time capabilities of P-NET, which is a multi-master fieldbus standard based on a virtual token passing scheme. We show how P-NET's medium ac...
-- Peer-to-peer systems and applications are distributed systems without any centralized control. P2P systems form the basis of several applications, such as file sharing systems a...
— We propose a new multiple description (MD) coder design based on the Adaptive Multi-Rate Wideband (AMRWB) coder that can support transcoding-free communication between an ad-ho...
— A control frame can be piggybacked in a data frame to increase the channel efficiency in a wireless communication such as IEEE 802.11 WLAN. However, the piggyback scheme may c...
Developments in ubiquitous and pervasive computing herald a future in which computation is embedded into our daily lives. Such a vision raises important questions about how people...
