In this paper we determine the optimal fraction c of the uplink channel capacity that should be dedicated to the contention channel in a DOCSIS cable network in order to minimize ...
: Recently, researchers have discovered that many of social, natural and biological networks are characterized by scale-free powerlaw connectivity distribution and a few densely po...
Abstract— Service placement is a key problem in communication networks as it determines how efficiently the user service demands are supported. This problem has been traditional...
Designing and deploying a network protocol determines the rules by which end users interact with each other and with the network. We consider the problem of designing a protocol t...
—Rate adaptation is a critical component that impacts the performance of IEEE 802.11 wireless networks. In congested networks, traditional rate adaptation algorithms have been sh...
