In this paper, we present a MAC-Iayer packet scheduling algorithm called BPA, for real-time switched Ethernet networks. BPA considers a message model where trans-node application-...
—Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) consist of spatially-distributed autonomous sensors that can cooperatively monitor physical and environmental conditions. Because of sensors’ r...
In this study we investigate the interaction between TCP and MAC layer in a wireless multi-hop network. Using simulation, we provide new insight into two critical problems of TCP ...
Abstract—We develop and evaluate a new method for estimating and optimizing various performance metrics for multihop wireless networks, including MANETs. We introduce an approxim...

We consider an ad-hoc wireless network operating within a free market economic model. Users send data over a choice of paths, and scheduling and routing decisions are updated dyna...
