Optimal Number of Paths with Multipath Routing in Hybrid Networks

Patrick Thiran, Sébastien Christophe Henri

In recent years, multipath routing, i.e., employing several paths simultaneously, has emerged as an efficient way to provide significant throughput gains in local networks. This has been observed both with technologies that are not subject to interference, ...

Multi-Armed Bandit in Action: Optimizing Performance in Dynamic Hybrid Networks

Patrick Thiran, Sébastien Christophe Henri, Christina Vlachou

Today's home networks are often composed of several technologies such as Wi-Fi or power-line communication (PLC). Yet, current network protocols rarely fully harness this diversity and use each technology for a specific, pre-defined role, for example, wire ...

On the Delays in Time-Varying Networks: Does Larger Service-Rate Variance Imply Larger Delays?

Patrick Thiran, Sébastien Christophe Henri

In all networks, link or route capacities fluctuate for multiple reasons, e.g., fading and multi-path effects on wireless channels, interference and contending users on a shared medium, varying loads in WAN routers, impedance changes on power-line channels ...
