On uncoordinated wireless ad-hoc networks

Alaeddine El Fawal

Emerging pervasive wireless networks, pocket switched networks, Internet of things, vehicular networks and even sensor networks present very challenging communication circumstances. They might involve up to several hundreds of wireless devices with mobilit ...

Elucidating the Instability of Random Access 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 impac ...

Self-Organization Properties of CSMA/CA Systems and Their Consequences on Fairness

Patrick Thiran, Olivier Dousse, Mathilde Durvy

Decentralized medium access control schemes for wireless networks based on CSMA/CA, such as the IEEE 802.11 protocol, are known to be unfair. In multihop networks, they can even favor some links to such an extent that the others suffer from virtually compl ...

On the Fairness of Large CSMA Networks

Patrick Thiran, Olivier Dousse, Mathilde Durvy

We characterize the fairness of decentralized medium access control protocols based on CSMA/CA, such as IEEE 802.11, in large multi-hop wireless networks. In particular, we show that the widely observed unfairness of the protocol in small network topologie ...

Low-complexity Algorithms for Energy Efficient Broadcasting in Wireless Networks

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Christina Fragouli, Jörg Widmer

We consider the problem of broadcasting in an ad hoc wireless network, where all nodes of the network are sources that want to transmit information to all other nodes. Our figure of merit is energy efficiency, a critical design parameter for wireless net- ...

Wireless Network Secrecy with Public Feedback

Emre Telatar, Suhas Diggavi, Etienne Perron

In this paper we consider secret communication between two special nodes ("source" and "destination") in a wireless network with authenticated relays: the message communicated to the destination is to be kept information-theoretically (unconditionally) sec ...

Effect of 802.11 Adaptive Exponential Backoffs on the Fluidity of Downlink Flows in Mesh Networks

Patrick Thiran, Adel Aziz

Efficient multihop traffic management is a need for successful Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) deployment. Using an analogy with fluid mechanism, we classify a flow as laminar if the packets flow smoothly from the Wired Access Point (WAP) over the mesh netwo ...

Achievable Flows on Orthogonal Information Networks

Dinkar Vasudevan

We examine routing over two classes of orthogonal information networks. The first is a relay network with orthogonal inputs. The nodes in this network do not broadcast, but communicate to the different nodes via independent inputs. There is multiple access ...

Distributed Media Rate Allocation in Multipath Networks

Pascal Frossard, Dan Jurca

The paper addresses the media-specific rate allocation problem in multipath networks. The streaming rate on each path is determined such that the end- to-end media distortion is minimized, when the receiving client aggregates packets received via multiple ...

Stability and bounds in aggregate scheduling networks

Gianluca Rizzo

We study networks of FIFO nodes, where flows are constrained by arrival curves. A crucial question with these networks is: Can we derive a bound to the maximum delay that a packet can experience when traversing the network, and to the maximum queue size at ...
