It is sometimes believed that a “broadband access” network, providing ample transmission capacity to residential environments, is enough so as to allow a flawless delivery of a...
We propose a layered quality adaptation scheme for video streams to smooth the short-term oscillations induced by Additive Increase Multiplicative Decrease (AIMD) mechanisms, and e...
Automatic-repeat request (ARQ) protocols are used to provide reliable communication in wireless networks. In this paper the throughput of the basic selective-repeat (SR) ARQ in bl...
— Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) is an essential ingredient in wireless networks employing channel sensing as part of their medium access mechanism. While CCA itself is implement...
MIMO-OFDM is a promising technique for the broadband wireless communication system. In this paper, we propose a novel scheme that integrates multiple description coding (MDC), err...
