Abstract. The paper proposes a priority-aware MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol for a core metropolitan area network in the next generation Internet, which is an OPS (Optical Pa...
Abstract--Reliability and sensitivity analysis is a key component in the design, tuning, and maintenance of network systems. Tremendous research efforts have been expended in this ...
We present an analogy between the operation of a Wireless Sensor Network and the sampling and reconstruction of a signal. We measure the impact of three factors on the quality of ...
In this paper, we consider the use of multiple mobile software agents to perform different tasks in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). To this regard, determining the number of mobil...
This paper bears on the design and the quantitative evaluation of MAC mechanisms for wireless ad-hoc networks with performance guarantees. By this, we mean mechanisms where each ac...
