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 ...
Forward Error Correction copes with packet losses, but at the expense of an increase of the end-to-end delay. By failing to take this into account, existing error control schemes for audio often lead to end-to-end delays larger than 150 ms, which has an im ...
We consider one aspect of the general problem of unicast equation based rate control in the Internet, which we formulate as follows. When a so called ``loss-event" occurs, a data source updates its sending rate by setting it to f(pn^), where $\hat{ ...
We construct new families of error-correcting codes based on Gallager's (1973) low-density parity-check codes. We improve on Gallager's results by introducing irregular parity-check matrices and a new rigorous analysis of hard-decision decoding of these co ...
We propose the use of spectral phase conjugation to compensate for dispersion of all orders, self-phase modulation, and self-steepening of an optical pulse in a fiber. Although this method cannot compensate for loss and intrapulse Raman scattering, it is s ...
Multiple antennas can greatly increase the data rate and reliability of a wireless communication link in a fading environment, but the practical success of using multiple antennas depends crucially on our ability to design high-rate space-time constellatio ...
We consider one aspect of the general problem of unicast equation based rate control in the Internet, which we formulate as follows. When a so called ``loss-event" occurs, a data source updates its sending rate by setting it to f(pn^), where $\hat{ ...
Pulse amplitude modulation scheme with the same spectral efficiency as QAM, that is twice the spectral efficiency of conventional PAM schemes, comprising the steps of: (1) forming a train of pulses q(t -kT/2) = p(t - k T/2)cos2 pi fo(t- k T/2), wherein p(t ...
We consider unicast equation based rate control defined as follows. A source adjusts its rate primarily at loss events to f(p) where p is an estimator of loss event ratio. Function f is typically the loss-throughput formula of a TCP source. In absence of l ...
Accuracy of oversampled analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion, the dependence of accuracy on the sampling interval, t, and on the bit rate are characteristics fundamental to A/D conversion but not completely understood. These characteristics are studied in th ...
