This paper studies the problem of realizing a common software clock among a large set of nodes without an external time reference (i.e., internal clock synchronization), any centr...
In this paper we present a novel formulation for the optimal control of discrete event dynamic processes which represent production systems with unreliable machines and buffers of...
Data aggregation is a fundamental building block of modern distributed systems. Averaging based approaches, commonly designated gossip-based, are an important class of aggregation ...
— This paper investigates the problem of the formation of an uplink tree structure among the IEEE 802.16j network’s relay stations (RSs) and their serving base station (MR-BS)....
Abstract—Impulse Radio Ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) communication has proven an important technique for supporting highrate, short-range, low-power communication. These are necessary ...
