Abstract— Content replication and distribution is an effective technology to reduce the response time for web accesses and has been proven quite popular among large Internet cont...
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...
Most network protocols are uni-modal: they employ a single set of algorithms that allows them to cope well only within a narrow range of operating conditions. This rigid design re...
—Sensor networks are often redundant by design; this is often done in order to achieve reliability in information processing. In many cases, the redundancy relationships between ...
