Improving TCP Performance in Ad Hoc Networks Using Signal Strength Based Link Management

Fabius Klemm

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 ...

Conditional Bit Error Rate for an Impulse Radio UWB Channel with Interfering Users

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Ruben Merz

We consider a multi-user impulse radio UWB physical layer in a multipath environment. We propose a fast and efficient method to compute the conditional bit error rate (BER), given some realizations of the channels from source/interferer to destination, and ...

Towards Flexible Finite-State-Machine-Based Protocol Composition

André Schiper, Sergio Mena, Nils Richard Ekwall, Stefan Pleisch

We propose a novel approach to the composition of group communication protocols. In this approach, components are modelled as finite state machines communicating via signals. We introduce two building blocks, called adaptor and adaplexor, that ease the dev ...

Applying Fondue to Specify a Drink Vending Machine

Shane Sendall

The purpose of the paper is to present our approach for specifying system behavior during analysis, part of the Fondue software development method. The approach is exemplified on a case study, a Drink Vending Machine (DVM). It is based on Operation Schemas ...

Towards Flexible Finite-State Machine Based Protocol Composition

André Schiper, Sergio Mena, Nils Richard Ekwall, Stefan Pleisch

Group communication provides primitives that ensure reliable and ordered delivery of messages to a group of destinations. It is an important building block for replicated fault-tolerant applications such as replicated databases. In the past, most group com ...

NASCENT: Network Layer Service for Vicinity Ad-hoc Groups

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Jun Luo

Many envisioned applications of ad hoc networks involve only small scale networks that we term Vicinity Ad-hoc Groups (VAGs). Distributed coordination services, instead of pairwise communications, are primary requirements of VAGs. Existing designs for dist ...

Mobility Friendly Publish/Subscribe

Rachid Guerraoui

This paper describes an event dissemination algorithm that implements a topic-based publish/subscribe abstraction in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). Our algorithm relies on (1) the mobility of the processes and (2) the validity period of the events to ens ...

A Survey of Inter-Vehicle Communication

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Jun Luo

As a component of the intelligent transportation system (ITS) and one of the concrete applications of mobile ad hoc networks, inter-vehicle communication (IVC) has attracted research attention from both the academia and industry of, notably, US, EU, and Ja ...

Active measurement for multiple link failure diganosis in IP networks

Patrick Thiran, Xuan Hung Nguyen

Simultaneous link failures are common in IP networks \cite{Markopoulou04}. In this paper, we develop a technique for locating multiple failures in Service Provider or Enterprise IP networks using active measurement. We propose a two-phased approach that mi ...

A multiple core mode for protocol independent multicast

Francesc Font Torre de Mer

Internet communications have traditionally been based on point-to-point connections. This technique is called unicast and allows one sender and one receiver to communicate. The Internet saw the appearance of multicast protocols in the early 90's. Multicast ...
