— In this paper we propose and investigate an iterative code acquisition scheme assisted by both search space reduction and iterative Massage Passing (MP), which was designed for...
— We compute the throughput obtained by a TCP connection in a UMTS environment. For downloading data at a mobile terminal, the packets of each TCP connection are stored in separa...
— Wireless mesh networks hold great promise in the wireless transmission of video flows, particularly if the problem of providing sufficient network capacity can be addressed. ...
— Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) are gaining importance for inter-vehicle communication, because they allow for the local communication between vehicles without any infrastru...
— In this paper, we propose a contention based uplink Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol design for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) with Spatial Division Multiple Access (...
—In this paper the autocorrelation properties of shadow fading and angle spread at both the base station (BS) and at the mobile station (MS) are analyzed using urban macro cellul...
—In this paper, we propose a collaborative localization scheme which utilizes, in addition to the range estimates to nodes with known locations (anchors), the range estimates bet...
Data rate adaptation is the process to select the optimal data rates for instantaneous channel conditions. This paper proposes a data rate adaptation technique that poses followin...
— Since the different bits of the compressed video sequence produced by the BBC’s wavelet-based video codec exhibit different error sensitivity, efficient Unequal Error Protec...
Abstract— In this paper we propose the enhancement of routing metrics through a more complete view of the physical channel. Using cross-layer optimizations, we develop the Distri...
