— We study the transmission of a stationary ergodic Gaussian source over a packet erasure channel, which is a composite channel with degraded states. A broadcast channel code can...
Abstract— Recently the exact expression for the BER of rectangular QAM with arbitrary code mapping was obtained [1]. It is then natural to ask for the optimal constellation desig...
Wireless networking and group communication in combination allows groups of dispersed mobile users to collaborate. This paper presents AGENT, a medium access control (MAC) protocol...
We present the queueing analysis of a degenerate buffer having access to a single server. This system cannot realize any given delay, but only values that are an integer multiple ...
Ordering heuristics are a powerful tool in CSP search algorithms. Among the most successful ordering heuristics are heuristics which enforce a fail first strategy by using the mi...
