We describe a decentralized, adaptive mechanism for replica location in wide-area distributed systems. Unlike traditional, hierarchical (e.g, DNS) and more recent (e.g., CAN, Chor...
—Conventional 802.11 medium access control (MAC) characteristics. In particular, all of these designs adopted a protocols have been designed separately from the characteristics s...
Despite many years of work in wireless mesh networks built using 802.11 radios, the performance and behavior of these networks in the wild is not well-understood. This lack of und...
Energy is the most crucial but scarce resource in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). A wealth of MAC protocols are proposed only to prolong the network lifetime for energy-efficienc...
In this paper, we present a new "spatiotemporal multicast", called a "mobicast", protocol for supporting applications which require spatiotemporal coordination...
