— Opportunistic communication allows humans equipped with mobile devices to exchange information via a wireless link whenever they are nearby. This work examines the performance ...
Abstract--Existing anycast routing protocols solely route packets to the closest group member. In this paper, we introduce density-based anycast routing, a new anycast routing para...
In this article, we present a novel discrete-time Markov chain model of book-ahead bandwidthsharing mechanisms. We use this analytical model and a simulation model to understand t...
Wireless IEEE 802.11 networks in residences, small businesses, and public “hot spots” typically encounter the wireline access link (DSL, cable modem, T1, etc.) as the slowest ...
