A quorum system is a collection of sets (quorums) of servers, where any two quorums intersect. Quorumbased protocols underly modern edge-computing architectures and throughput-sca...
— In this paper, we explore the use of partially overlapped channels in wireless mesh networks that consist of multiple 802.11-based access points. We propose novel channel alloc...
In this paper, we propose a novel MAC protocol, called Quality-ofservice Guarantee Multiple Access (QGMA), in wireless local area networks to support the quality of service requir...
As passive optical networks (PON) are increasingly deployed to provide high speed Internet access, it is important to understand their fundamental traffic capacity limits. The pape...
