The issue of breaking cycles in communication networks is an important topic for several reasons. For instance, it is required when transparent bridges are filling the forwarding ...
Power conservation is a general concern for mobile computing and communication. In this paper, we investigate the performance of the current 802.11 power saving mechanism (unschedu...
A distinguishing characteristic of wireless sensor networks is the opportunity to exploit characteristics of the application at lower layers. This approach is encouraged by device...
In this paper, an almost peer-to-peer (AP2P) clock synchronization protocol is proposed. AP2P is almost peer-topeer in the sense that it provides the desirable features of a purel...
: This paper presents a simple and efficient switched Ethernet communication protocol for industrial hard real-time LAN applications. The network is founded with end nodes and a sw...
