We begin by observing that (discrete-time) QuasiBirth-Death Processes (QBDs) are equivalent, in a precise sense, to (discrete-time) probabilistic 1-Counter Automata (p1CAs), and b...
—This paper provides analytical expressions to evaluate the performance of a random access wireless network in terms of user throughput and network throughput, subject to the con...
— This paper considers the problem of dedicated path-protection in a wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) mesh network with waveband switching (WBS) functionality under shared ...
— IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi equipment based wireless mesh networks have recently been proposed as an inexpensive approach to connect far-flung rural areas. Such networks are built using...
— An important class of queries over sensor networks are network-wide aggregation queries. In this work we study a class of aggregation queries which we refer to as aggregate thr...
