—The IEEE 802.16 standard, or WiMAX, has emerged as one of the strongest contenders for broadband wireless access technology. In our previous work, we proposed a protocol using r...
—The IEEE 802.15.4 standard has no provisions for rate sensitive applications because of its ability to operate in pure CSMA/CA or TDMA modes. Some operating scenarios for rate-s...
Energy management in sensor networks is crucial to prolong the network lifetime. Though existing sleep scheduling algorithms save energy, they lead to a large increase in end-to-e...
— There is a growing interest among service providers to offer new services with Quality of Service (QoS) guaranties that are also resilient to failures. Supporting QoS connectio...
This paper studies cluster load balancing policies and system support for fine-grain network services. Load balancing on a cluster of machines has been studied extensively in the...
