— A streaming system based on the Scalable Video Coding (SVC) extension of H.264/AVC is shown. SVC allows for data rate adaptation without re-encoding just by dropping packets of...

Exploiting directional antenna technology in wireless networks has become an attractive option because of the potential capacity increase through spatial reuse. Such development a...
—It is well known that IEEE 802.11 provides a physical layer multirate capability and, hence, MAC layer mechanisms are needed to exploit this capability. Several solutions have b...
Abstract— In conventional wireless systems with layered architectures, the physical layer treats all data streams from upper layers equally and apply the same modulation and codi...
In this paper, we consider single-source, single-sink (ss-ss) multi-hop relay networks, with slow-fading Rayleigh links and single-antenna relay nodes operating under the half-dupl...
