This paper studies the time complexity of reading unauthenticated data from a distributed storage made of a set of failure-prone base objects. More specifically, we consider the abstraction of a robust read/write storage that provides wait-free access to u ...
We consider streaming of pre-encoded and packetized media over best-effort networks in presence of acknowledgment feedback. Given an estimation of future transmission resources and knowing about past transmissions and received acknowledgments, a scheduling ...
We consider streaming of pre-encoded and packetized media over best-effort networks in presence of acknowledgment feedbacks. We first review the rate-distortion optimization framework in such scenarios. Given an estimation of future transmission resources, ...
We present a model of TCP flows suited to Internet backbone traffic, where links are usually not congested. We characterize the traffic using information on flows, i.e., arrival time, size, and duration. The major contribution of this paper is a model capt ...
In this paper, we present an efficient protocol for the delay-limited fading Automatic Retransmission reQuest single relay channel. The source is using an ARQ retransmission protocol to send data to the relay and the destination. When the relay is able to ...
This paper addresses efficient packet loss recovery by retransmission in window-based congestion control protocols. It builds on explicit congestion control mechanisms to decouple the packet loss detection from the congestion feedback signals. Implicit alg ...
Mobility in ad hoc networks causes frequent link failures, which in turn causes packet losses. TCP attributes these packet losses to congestion. This incorrect inference results in frequent TCP re-transmission time-outs and therefore a degradation in TCP p ...
This paper addresses the problem of streaming packetized media over a lossy packet network, with sender-driven (re)transmission using acknowledgement feedback. The different transmission scenarios associated to a group of interdependent media data units ar ...
We consider the transmission of variable bit rate video over a network offering a guaranteed service such as ATM VBR or the guaranteed service of the IETF. The guaranteed service requires that the flow accepted by the network has to be conforming with a tr ...
To increase network capacity, it may not be sufficient to just increase the capacity of the networks. It may be necessary to reduce the network overhead bits, to leave more room for the data bits, to increase the network capacity. As network functions beco ...
