— In wireless communications, shadow fading can cause at least 6 dB power loss for 10% of the time [1]. Early detection of shadow fading plays an important part in facilitating t...
— The IEEE 802.11e standard supports a Direct-Link Setup (DLS) mechanism optionally to improve the throughput. Using this mechanism, IEEE 802.11e stations in proximity can direct...
Applications designed to execute on "computational grids" frequently require the simultaneous co-allocation of multiple resources in order to meet performance requiremen...
Data replication can help database systems meet the stringent temporal constraints of current time-critical applications, especially Internet-based services. A prerequisite, howev...
