We consider the impact of multi-user interference on a bit-interleaved coded-modulation system with M-ary PPM (BIC M-ary PPM) in an impulse-radio ultra-wideband physical layer. In a realistic scenario such as an ad hoc network, the interference is inherent ...
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 ...
We present a new scheme that mimics pattern formation in biological systems to create transmission patterns in multi-hop ad hoc networks. Our scheme is decentralized and relies exclusively on local interactions between the network nodes to create global tr ...
On-chip interconnection networks for future systems on chip (SoC) will have to deal with the increasing sensitivity of global wires to noise sources such as crosstalk or power supply noise. Hence, transient delay and logic faults are likely to reduce the r ...

We present some typical applications of our device simulation model "MOLED" which has proven to be a very useful tool for obtaining insight into the functioning of multi-layer organic light-emitting devices (OLED's). Our general approach consists of combin ...
In this paper we propose a set of necessary and sufficient conditions under which the throughput in an ad-hoc network can remain constant as the number of nodes n increases. Throughput refers to the minimum achievable rate between a source-destination pair ...
In this paper we will propose a relaying scheme for wireless multi-hop networks. It is based on collaboration of intermediate relays at network layer to forward useful side information in place of dumbly forwarding packets. In our scheme we assume that the ...
We present iterative subdomain methods based on a domain decomposition approach to solve the coupled Stokes/Darcy problem using finite elements. The dependence of the convergence rate on the grid parameter h and on the physical data is discussed; some diff ...
We introduce the TinyNode platform for wireless sensor networks. Supporting both research and industrial deployments, the platform offers communication ranges that exceed current platforms by a factor of 3 to 5, while consuming similar energy. It comes wit ...
Although there has been much interest in scaling laws for wireless networks, most work has focussed on characterizing throughput and delay in power-constrained networks. Energy-constrained networks have not received much attention. Previous work on energy- ...
