We provide a general framework for the analysis of the capacity scaling properties in mobile ad-hoc networks with heterogeneous nodes and spatial inhomogeneities. Existing analyti...
We use a constrained optimization framework to derive fundamental scaling laws for both unstructured sensor networks (which use blind sequential search for querying) and structure...
This paper addresses the problem of optimizing the packet transmission schedule in an ad hoc network with end-toend delay constraints. The emphasis is to determine the proper rela...
IEEE 802.11 MAC, called the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF), employs carrier sensing to effectively avoid collisions, but this makes it difficult to maximally reuse the sp...
The database tier of dynamic content servers at large Internet sites is typically hosted on centralized and expensive hardware. Recently, research prototypes have proposed using d...
