Energy in today's short-range wireless communication is mostly spent on the analog-and digital hardware rather than on radiated power. Hence, purely information-theoretic considerations fail to achieve the lowest energy per information bit and the optimiza ...

iPRP: Parallel Redundancy Protocol for IP Networks

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Dan-Cristian Tomozei, Miroslav Popovic

Reliable packet delivery within stringent time limits is a key requirement of smart-grid and other industrial communication networks. The Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP), used in this context, duplicates packets at the MAC layer over parallel networks a ...

Bringing Stability to Wireless Mesh Networks

Adel Aziz

Wireless mesh networks were designed as a mean to rapidly deliver large-scale communication capabilities without the support of any prior infrastructure. Among the different properties of mesh networks, the self-organizing feature is particularly interesti ...

The goal of jointly providing fairness and efficiency in wireless networks can be seen as the problem of maximizing a given utility function. The main difficulty when solving this problem is that the capacity region of wireless networks is typically unknow ...

Line and Lattice Networks Under Deterministic Interference Models

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Jasper Goseling

Capacity bounds are compared for four different deterministic models of wireless networks, representing four different ways of handling broadcast and superposition in the physical layer. In particular, the transport capacity under a multiple unicast traffi ...

Valuable Detours: Least-Cost Anypath Routing

Martin Vetterli, Matthias Grossglauser, Henri Julien Dubois-Ferrière

In many networks, it is less costly to transmit a packet to any node in a set of neighbors than to one specific neighbor. This observation was previously exploited by opportunistic routing protocols by using single-path routing metrics to assign to each no ...

This thesis addresses the security of two fundamental elements of wireless networking: neighbor discovery and ranging. Neighbor discovery consists in discovering devices available for direct communication or in physical proximity. Ranging, or distance boun ...

Coexistence of Multiple HomePlug AV Logical Networks: A Measurement Based Study

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Alaeddine El Fawal, Zhang Liu

HomePlug AV (HPAV) was designed to provide high speed in-home communication with 200Mbps PHY rate, with the goal to overcome various noises over power wires and to jump from one phase to a neighboring one. A HomePlug AV Logical Networks (AVLN) is defined b ...

Cross-Layer Based Analysis of Multi-Hop Wireless Networks

Tarik Tabet

In this work, we revisit classical packet radio networks with a modern treatment of physical-layer (PHY) procedures, medium-access (MAC) and geographic channel-driven routing protocols. Our network model assumes that nodes are randomly distributed on the p ...

Neighbor discovery with reception status feedback to transmitters

Ramin Khalili

Neighbor discovery is essential for the process of self-organization of a wireless network, where almost all routing and medium access protocols need knowledge of one-hop neighbors. In this paper we study the problem of neighbor discovery in a static and s ...
