With emerging decentralized technologies, peer-to-peer (P2P) content distribution arises as a new model for storage and transmission of data. In this scenario, one peer can be play...
Abstract. In this paper, we define the routing overhead as the amount of information needed to describe the changes in a network topology. We derive a universal lower bound on the...
Abstract. Providing energy efficiency in MAC (Medium Access Control) layer, while achieving desirable throughput, is an important research issue in the area of wireless networking....
In wireless sensor networks energy is a valuable but not necessary scarce resource. While it is often assumed that nodes in sensor networks are powered by batteries, other energy s...
Wireless channels usually face bursty errors, i.e., errors are prone to occur in clusters. These bit errors can be modeled using the Gilbert-Elliott model. When data packets are t...
