—The Physical Layer of the IEEE 802.11 standard family provides a set of different modulation and coding schemes and, thus, a multitude of data rates. However, the Standard itsel...
In this paper, a method is presented for the efficient estimation of rare-event (buffer overflow) probabilities in queueing networks using importance sampling. Unlike previously pr...
Cross-layer optimization aims at improving the performance of network users operating in a time-varying, error-prone wireless environment. However, current solutions often rely on...
Recently a bulk of research [14, 5, 15, 9] has been done on the modelling of the smallworld phenomenon, which has been shown to be pervasive in social and nature networks, and eng...
Fully-populated tori, where every node has a processor attached, do not scale well since load on edges increases superlinearly with network size under heavy communication, resulti...
