This thesis studies communication and agreement protocols in wireless ad hoc networks from both theoretical and practical perspectives. The last decade has given rise to the rapid growth of wireless telecommunications such as cellular mobile phone networks ...
Face is a well-known localized routing protocol for ad hoc and sensor networks which guarantees delivery of the message as long as a path exists between the source and the destination. This is achieved by employing a left/right hand rule to route the messa ...
We present an architecture for implementing a wireless physical layer in a packet-based network simulator. We integrate this architecture in the popular ns-2 network simulator and use it to implement an impulse-radio ultra-wide band (IR-UWB) physical layer ...
The self-switching principle is a synthesis of synchronous type switching and switch inner protection mechanisms. Both switch ON and switch OFF are performed on the base of current and voltage measurement across the switch. Applied to an active bidirection ...
We evaluate the performance of an IEEE 802.15.4a ultra-wide band (UWB) physical layer, with an energy-detection receiver, in the presence of multi-user interference (MUI). A complete packet based system is considered. We take into account packet detection ...
Ultrawideband (UWB) radio is a promising solution for high-rate wireless communications over short ranges. In this paper, the performance of multiband orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MB-OFDM) UWB systems is analyzed using the Saleh-Valenzuela c ...
We consider the rate allocation problem when two users (each one associated with one receiver) send packets through a symmetric broadcast channel. Under the assumption that the packet lengths are exponentially distributed, we establish the delay optimality ...
This paper addresses the basic concepts of the packet switching in the optical domain and describes an analytical approach to evaluate the end-to-end performance of networks employing slotted (fixed length) optical packets. Thus, for a given topology and t ...
The article analyzes the influence of the Internet Protocol (IP) access interface on the packet loss probability and delay times in the optical packet switched network. The network and node model have been proposed, and the structure of the IP access inter ...
We consider the following packet coding scheme: The coding node has a fixed, finite memory in which it stores packets formed from an incoming packet stream, and it sends packets formed from random linear combinations of its memory contents. We analyze the ...
