— Many distributed multiple access (MAC) protocols use an exponential backoff mechanism. In that mechanism, a node picks a random backoff time uniformly in an interval that doubl...
— Tools such as pathchar, clink, and pchar attempt to measure the capacity of every Layer-3 (L3) hop in a network path. These tools use the same underlying measurement methodolog...
Several architectures have been recently proposed to support IP mobility. Most studies, however, show that current protocols, in general, fall short from satisfying the performanc...
Real-time services such as VoIP are becoming popular and are major revenue earners for network service providers. These services are no longer confined to the wired domain and are ...
It has been an important research topic since 1992 to maximize stability region in constrained queueing systems, which includes the study of scheduling over wireless ad hoc networ...
