Network topology design problems find application in several real life scenarios. However, most designs in the past either optimize for a single criterion like delay or assume sim...
— Recent advance in IEEE 802.11 based standard has pushed the wireless bandwidth up to 600Mbps while keeping the same wireless medium access control (MAC) schemes for full backwa...
In sensor networks, continuous query is commonly used for collecting periodical data from the objects under monitoring. This sort of queries needs to be carefully designed, in orde...
—In network measurement systems, packet sampling techniques are usually adopted to reduce the overall amount of data to collect and process. Being based on a subset of packets, t...
We study the stability of the commonly used packet forwarding protocol, FIFO (First In First Out), in the adversarial queueing model. We prove that FIFO can become unstable, i.e.,...
