Layered multicast is a common approach for dissemination of audio and video in heterogeneous network environments. Layered multicast schemes can be classified into two categories...
— “Word-of-Mouth”, a novel scheme for sharing the service quality experienced with different local networks, is presented and evaluated as a distributed solution for performi...
— With the deployment of IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs, there is a strong requirement to support real-time applications with stringent QoS requirements on these networks. IEEE 802.11...
The low quality of wireless links leads to perpetual packet losses. While an acknowledgment mechanism is generally used to cope with these losses, multiple retransmissions neverthe...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are typically characterized by a limited energy supply at sensor nodes. Hence, energy efficiency is an important issue in the system design and op...
