Optimal Pricing Strategy for Wireless Social Community Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Mark Felegyhazi, Seyyed Amin Mazloumian

The increasing number of mobile applications fuels the demand for affordable and ubiquitous wireless access. The traditional wireless network technologies such as EV-DO or WiMAX provide this service but require a huge upfront investment in infrastructure a ...

On Wireless Social Community Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Mark Felegyhazi, Julien Freudiger, Peter Marbach

Wireless social community networks are emerging as a new alternative to provide wireless data access in urban areas. By relying on users in the network deployment, a wireless community can rapidly deploy a high-quality data access infrastructure in an inex ...

Extending Paxos/LastVoting with an Adequate Communication Layer for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

André Schiper, Fatemeh Borran

Most papers addressing consensus in wireless ad hoc networks adopt system models similar to those developed for wired networks. These models are focused towards node failures while ignoring link failures, and thus are poorly suited for wireless ad hoc netw ...

Wireless Social Community Networks: A Game-Theoretic Analysis

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Mark Felegyhazi, Julien Freudiger, Peter Marbach

Wireless social community networks formed by users with a WiFi access point have been created as an alternative to traditional wireless networks that operate in the licensed spectrum. By relying on access points owned by users for access, wireless communit ...

Diversity embedding for broadband communication

Sanket Dusad

Given uncertainty in environment, a conservative approach is to design for the worst case, leading to a game-theoretic situation where the environment is controlled by an adversary. However, in many cases, the uncertainty arises from randomness, not an adv ...

Structural Efficiency of Percolated Landscapes in Flow Networks

Paolo De Los Rios

The large-scale structure of complex systems is intimately related to their functionality and evolution. In particular, global transport processes in flow networks rely on the presence of directed pathways from input to output nodes and edges, which organi ...

Spectrum Sharing Games of Infrastructure-Based Cognitive Radio Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Ghazale Hosseinabadi

The IEEE 802.22 standard is the first proposed standard for the cognitive radio networks in which a set of base stations (BSs) make opportunistic spectrum access to provide wireless access to the customer-premise equipments (CPE) within their cells in wire ...

Autonomous-System Interfaces

The current Internet is characterized by a growing tension between the "core" (the Internet service providers) and the "edge" (the operators of edge networks and distributed applications). Much of this tension concerns path visibility and control -- where ...

Non-cooperative behavior in wireless networks

Mark Felegyhazi

Existing cellular networks are centrally managed and require a tremendous initial investment. With the advancement of new wireless technologies, the operators of traditional networks have to face new competition. New technologies make it possible to provid ...

Securing Wireless Mesh Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Naouel Ben Salem

Using wireless mesh networks to offer Internet connectivity is becoming a popular choice for wireless Internet service providers as it allows fast, easy, and inexpensive network deployment. However, security in WMNs is still in its infancy as very little a ...
