A counting protocol (mod m) consists of shared memory bits - referred to as the counter - and of a procedure for incrementing the counter value by 1 (mod m). The procedure may be ...

BitTorrent, the immensely popular file swarming system, suffers a fundamental problem: content unavailability. Although swarming scales well to tolerate flash crowds for popular c...
An analytical model is developed to solve the power-rate assignment problem for multi-rate CDMA systems and calculate the probability density function (PDF) for the downlink traffi...
Abstract-- We study coding schemes which encode unconstrained sequences into run-length-limited (d, k)-constrained sequences. We present a general framework for the construction of...
