Multicast enables efficient data transmission from one source to multiple destinations, and has been playing an important role in Internet multimedia applications. Although sever...
Abstract— This paper provides a concise modeling and performance evaluation of the iSCSI storage area network (SAN) architecture and protocol. SANs play a key role in business co...
Abstract— Privacy and security are two important but seemingly contradict objectives in pervasive computing environments (PCEs). On the one hand, service providers want to authen...
— We compare the effectiveness of uniform versus non-uniform waveband switching under the dual cost metrics of switching requirements and fiber capacity. We consider a star topo...
— Networks employ link protection to achieve fast recovery from link failures. While the first link failure can be protected using link protection, there are several alternative...
— A Block ACK (BTA) scheme has been proposed in IEEE 802.11e to improve medium access control (MAC) layer performance. It is also a promising technique for next-generation high-s...
— Lightweight protocols that are both bandwidth and power thrifty are desirable for sensor networks. In addition, for many sensor network applications, timeliness of data deliver...
