Bluetooth scatternets: an enhanced adaptive scheduling scheme Tập 2 - Trang 782-790 vol.2
S. Baatz, M. Frank, C. Kuhl, P. Martini, C. Scholz
The vision of ad-hoc networking with Bluetooth includes the concept of devices participating in multiple "piconets" and thereby forming a "scatternet". However, the details of scatternet support for Bluetooth are not specified yet. This paper presents a scheme for Bluetooth scatternet operation that adapts to varying traffic patterns. Being based on sniff mode, it does not require substantial modi...... hiện toàn bộ

Delay constrained energy efficient transmission strategies for wireless devices Tập 3 - Trang 1765-1772 vol.3
P. Nuggehalli, V. Srinivasan, R.R. Rao
In this paper, we address the problem of energy efficient packet scheduling in a wireless environment. We consider a wireless transmitter which is limited by its finite battery resource. Our objective is to design a transmission schedule that maximizes battery lifetime subject to some delay constraints. To achieve this, we exploit two previously unconnected ideas: (i) channel coding can be used to...... hiện toàn bộ

Assessment of VoIP quality over Internet backbones Tập 1 - Trang 150-159 vol.1
A.P. Markopoulou, F.A. Tobagi, M.J. Karam
As the Internet evolves into a ubiquitous communication infrastructure and provides various services including telephony, it has to stand up to the toll quality standards set by traditional telephone companies. Our objective is to assess to what extent today's Internet meets this expectation. Our assessment is based on delay and loss measurements taken over wide-area backbone networks, considers r...... hiện toàn bộ

Optimal rate allocation and traffic splits for energy efficient routing in ad hoc networks Tập 2 - Trang 950-957 vol.2
V. Srinivasan, C.F. Chiasserini, P. Nuggehalli, R.R. Rao
In this paper, we address the problem of energy efficiency in ad hoc wireless networks. We consider a network that is shared by a set of sources, each one communicating with its corresponding destination using multiple routes. Each source is associated with a utility function which increases with the total traffic flowing over the available source-destination routes. The network lifetime is define...... hiện toàn bộ

Increasing robustness of fault localization through analysis of lost, spurious, and positive symptoms Tập 1 - Trang 322-331 vol.1
M. Steinder, A.S. Sethi
This paper utilizes belief networks to implement fault localization in communication systems taking into account comprehensive information about the system behavior. Most previous work on this subject performs fault localization based solely on the information about malfunctioning system components (i.e., negative symptoms). We show that positive information, i.e., the lack of any disorder in some...... hiện toàn bộ

Constraint-based path selection methods for on-demand provisioning in WDM networks Tập 2 - Trang 827-836 vol.2
A. Jukan, G. Franzl
We propose a framework for decentralized path selection and on-demand wavelength channel provisioning in WDM networks with routing constraints. Within this framework, the path information of choice, such as transmission quality, reliability, policy and traffic conditions, is updated following a connection request, based on a local, autonomous and service-differentiated characterization of optical ...... hiện toàn bộ

Avoiding instability during graceful shutdown of OSPF Tập 2 - Trang 883-892 vol.2
A. Shaikh, R. Dube, A. Varma
In this paper, we describe an enhancement to OSPF, called the IBB (I'll Be Back) capability, that enables other routers to use a router whose OSPF process is inactive for forwarding traffic for a certain period of time. The IBB capability can be used for avoiding route flaps that occur when the OSPF process is brought down in a router to facilitate protocol software upgrade, operating system upgra...... hiện toàn bộ

An energy efficient MAC protocol for wireless LANs Tập 3 - Trang 1756-1764 vol.3
Eun-Sun Jung, N.H. Vaidya
This paper presents an optimization of the power saving mechanism in the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) in the IEEE 802.11 standard. In the IEEE 802.11 power saving mode specified for DCF, time is divided into so-called beacon intervals. At the start of each beacon interval, each node in the power saving mode periodically wakes up for a duration called the ATIM window. The nodes are requi...... hiện toàn bộ

Optimal energy allocation and admission control for communications satellites Tập 2 - Trang 648-656 vol.2
A. Fu, E. Modiano, J. Tsitsiklis
We address the issue of optimal energy allocation and admission control for communications satellites in Earth orbit. These satellites receive requests for transmission as they orbit the Earth, but may not be able to serve them all, due to energy limitations. The objective is to choose which requests to serve so that the expected total reward is maximized. The special case of a single energy-const...... hiện toàn bộ

Provisioning content distribution networks for streaming media Tập 3 - Trang 1746-1755 vol.3
J.M. Almeida, D.L. Eager, M. Ferris, M.K. Vernon
This paper develops simple cost models for provisioning content distribution networks that use the simple and highly scalable bandwidth skimming protocol for streaming. New insight is obtained into: (1) how cost-effective proxy servers are in multicast streaming systems; (2) the most effective streaming protocol; and (3) the optimal proxy content, as a function of the system configuration and work...... hiện toàn bộ
