We give an optimal dynamic programming algorithm to solve a class of finite-horizon decentralized Markov decision processes (MDPs). We consider problems with a broadcast informati...
— As broadcasting is widely used for miscellaneous maintenance operations in wireless ad hoc networks, where energy is a scarce resource, an efficient broadcasting protocol is o...
The Informedia Digital Library Project [Wactlar96] allows full content indexing and retrieval of text, audio and video material. Segmentation is an integral process in the Informe...
Videos from distributed sources (e.g., broadcasts, podcasts, blogs, etc.) have grown exponentially. Topic threading is very useful for organizing such large-volume information sou...
— We address the problem of exchanging broadcast packets among multiple wireless terminals through a single relay node. The objective is to evaluate the delay and throughput gain...
