In this paper, we evaluate the performance of a Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for MIMO ad hoc networks under imperfect channel estimation. To this end, we also present an an...
A common technique used to minimize I/O in data intensive applications is data declustering over parallel servers. This technique involves distributing data among several disks so...

Abstract -- In this paper, we study the provision of perclass QoS for IEEE 802.11e Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) WLANs. We propose two mechanisms, called BIWF-SP and I...
Transmitting voice through IP data network can provide significant cost savings. However if not managed properly, voice quality can degrade due to data network congestion. Voice o...
There is a recent trend toward rule-based authorization systems to achieve flexible security policies. Also, new sensing technologies in pervasive computing make it possible to de...
