In IR (Impulse Radio) network, the conventional synchronization (also called signal acquisition) method becomes inefficient and results in a certain failure of synchronization when concurrent transmissions are allowed without controlling their powers. The ...
Colloidal silica gels are shown to stiffen with time, as demonstrated by both dynamic light scattering and bulk rheological measurements. Their elastic moduli increase as a power law with time, independent of particle volume fraction; however, static light ...
We present a unified framework for understanding the compaction of colloidal gels under their own weight. The dynamics of the collapse are determined by the value of the gravitational stress σg, as compared to the yield stress σY of the network. For σg
We give a lower bound of Ω(n) rounds for broadcasting in a mobile ad hoc network, where n is the number of nodes in the network. A round is the time taken by a node to successfully transmit a message to all its neighbors. It has been shown by Brus ...
We study the connectivity and capacity of finite area ad hoc wireless networks, with an increasing number of nodes (dense networks). We find that the properties of the network strongly depend on the shape of the attenuation function. For power law attenuat ...
We study network capacity limits and optimal routing algorithms for regular sensor networks, namely, square and torus grid sensor networks, in both, the static case (no node failures) and the dynamic case (node failures). For static networks, we derive upp ...
Increasing communication demands of processor and memory cores in Systems on Chips (SoCs) necessitate the use of Networks on Chip (NoC) to interconnect the cores. An important phase in the design of NoCs is the mapping of cores onto the most suitable topol ...
Numerous approaches have been proposed to manage Quality of Service in the Internet. However, none of them was successfully deployed in a commercial IP backbone, mostly because of their complexity. In this paper, we take advantage of the excess network ban ...
The paper presents a research 1that aims to develop a methodology that supports the elaboration and the optimisation of long term maintenance and renewal policies for railway infrastructure (strategic planning level, up to 20 years). The elaboration proces ...
In this paper we consider the online ftp problem. The goal is to service a sequence of file transfer requests given bandwidth constraints of the underlying communication network. The main result of the paper is a technique that leads to algorithms that opt ...
