: A multi-rate capable IEEE 802.11a/b/g node can utilize different link-layer transmission rates. Interestingly, multi-rate capability is defined by IEEE 802.11 standards only for...
In wireless local area networks often a station can potentially associate with more than one access point. Therefore, a relevant question is which access point to select “best...
Recently-proposed processor microarchitectures for high Memory Level Parallelism (MLP) promise substantial performance gains. Unfortunately, current cache hierarchies have Miss-Ha...
In this paper we consider data freshness and overload handling in embedded systems. The requirements on data management and overload handling are derived from an engine control so...
In most operating systems, the handling of interrupts is typically performed within the address space of the kernel. Moreover, interrupt handlers are invoked asynchronously during...
