We consider rate-distortion (RD) optimized multi-flow video delivery in unstructured overlay networks. We show that this problem can be studied as a distributed rate allocation. To solve the problem over the participating peers in the overlay, we apply cla ...
New network types require new security concepts. Surprisingly, trust – the ultimate goal of security – has not evolved as much as other concepts. In particular, the traditional notion of building trust in entities seems inadequate in an ephemeral environme ...
Continuous queries over data streams typically produce large volumes of result streams. To scale up the system, one should carefully study the problem of delivering the result streams to the end users, which, unfortunately, is often over-looked in existing ...
We consider the following problem: Given a commitment to a value σ, prove in zero-knowledge that σ belongs to some discrete set Φ. The set Φ can perhaps be a list of cities or clubs; often Φ can be a numerical range such as [1, 220]. This problem arises in ...
The low quality of wireless links leads to perpetual packet losses. While an acknowledgment mechanism is generally used to cope with these losses, multiple retransmissions nevertheless occur. Opportunistic routing limits these retransmissions by taking adv ...
Recent analytical and experimental work demonstrate that IEEE 802.11-based wireless mesh networks are prone to turbulence. Manifestations of such turbulence take the form of large buffer build-up at relay nodes, end-to-end delay fluctuations, and traffic c ...
We compare the reliability performance gain of Random Linear Network Coding (RLNC) with Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) for a wireless relay network taking into account overhead and complexity of feedback mechanism as well as overhead due to encoding vector ...
The performance of the networking stack in an operating system depends on the overhead incurred by two of its components: the per-byte overhead incurred in data-touching operations, and the per-packet overhead of protocol processing and other operating sys ...
Embedded sensors and actuators are revolutionizing the way we perceive and interact with the physical world. Current research on such Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) has focused mostly on distributed sensing and data gathering. The next step is to move from ...
Techniques for efficiently assigning resources for spurts of traffic in a wireless communication system are described. The system may support semi-persistent and non-persistent resource assignments. A semi-persistent resource assignment is valid for as lon ...
