Abstract— Wireless access networks scale by replicating base stations geographically and then allowing mobile clients to seamlessly “hand off” from one station to the next as...
Continued advances in mobile networks and positioning technologies have created a strong market push for location-based applications. Examples include location-aware emergency resp...
Ad-hoc networks are perceived as communities of autonomous devices that interconnect with each other. Typically, they have dynamic topologies and cannot rely on a continuous conne...
Broadband wireless access networks, such as the IEEE 802.16 standard for wireless metropolitan area networks (WMANs), aim to provide high bandwidth, low-cost, scalable solutions t...
Abstract. In a distributed system, dynamically dividing execution between nodes is essential for service robustness. However, when all of the nodes cannot be equally trusted, and w...
