Abstract— The IEEE 802.16 mesh mode supports two scheduling mechanisms, namely centralized scheduling and distributed scheduling. Centralized scheduling is based on a routing tre...
With the growth in the computation capacity of sensor nodes, they are increasingly equipped to handle more complex functions. Moreover, the need to realize the complete loop of se...
– Integration of beamforming to sensors is very beneficial for a reduction of transmission power consumption and for improvement of the overall system performance. Unfortunately,...
— We focus in this paper on the cross-layer modeling of the integration of streaming and elastic flows in the downlink of UMTS/HSDPA systems. Streaming flows are transported ov...
A number of solutions have been proposed to address the free-riding problem in peer-to-peer file sharing systems. The solutions are either imperfect–they allow some users to ch...
