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 ...

Throughput Analysis of Large Networks

Serj Haddad

While wired infrastructure constitutes the backbone of most wireless networks, wireless systems appeal the most to the dynamic and rapidly evolving requirements of today's communication systems because of their ease of deployment and mobility, not to menti ...

Efficient Key Exchange for Wireless Multi-hop Networks

Christina Fragouli, László Czap, Iris Safaka

We present a protocol that enables to create pairwise keys between nodes in a wireless network, so that the keys are secure from an adversary, Eve, with unbounded computational and memory capabilities, but with limited network presence. Our proposed protoc ...

Software Dataplane Verification

Mihai Dobrescu

The industry is in the mood for programmable networks, where an operator can dynamically deploy network functions on network devices, akin to how one deploys virtual machines on physical machines in a cloud environment. Such flexibility brings along the th ...

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 ...

Secure key exchange in wireless networks

Christina Fragouli, László Czap

We investigate the problem of exchanging a se- cret key within a group of wireless devices. In particular, we are interested in information theoretically secure key exchange schemes that enable honest nodes of a multi-hop network to establish a secret grou ...

Understanding and Tackling the Root Causes of Instability in Wireless Mesh Networks

Patrick Thiran, Adel Aziz, David Starobinski

We investigate, both theoretically and experimentally, the stability of CSMA-based wireless mesh networks, where a network is said to be stable if and only if the queue of each relay node remains (almost surely) finite. We identify two key factors that imp ...

Secure Neighbor Discovery and Ranging in Wireless Networks

Marcin Poturalski

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 ...

Self-Synchronizing Properties of CSMA Wireless Multi-hop Networks

Patrick Thiran, Olivier Dousse, Kuang Xu

We show that CSMA is able to spontaneously synchronize transmissions in a wireless network with constant-size packets, and that this property can be used to devise efficient synchronized CSMA scheduling mechanisms without message passing. Using tools from ...
