Performance Evaluation of Impulse Radio UWB Networks using Common or Private Acquisition Preambles

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Ruben Merz

For impulse-radio ultra-wide band (IR-UWB) networks without global synchronization, the first step for correct packet reception is packet detection and timing acquisition: Before recovering the payload of the packet, the destination must detect that the pa ...

An Analytical Model for the Contention Access Period of the Slotted IEEE 802.15.4 with Service Differentiation

Giovanni De Micheli, Nadia Khaled, Eugène David Ngangue Ndih

The IEEE 802.15.4 standard is poised to become the global standard for low data rate, low energy consumption wireless sensor networks (WSN). By assigning the same sets of contention access parameters for all data frames and nodes, the contention access per ...

Network Resource Allocation for Competing Multiple Description Transmissions

Suhas Diggavi

Providing real-time multimedia services over a best-effort network is challenging due to the stringent delay requirements in the presence of complex network dynamics. Multiple description (MD) coding is one approach to transmit the media over diverse (mult ...

Interference management in impulse-radio ultra-wide band networks

Ruben Merz

We consider networks of impulse-radio ultra-wide band (IR-UWB) devices. We are interested in the architecture, design, and performance evaluation of these networks in a low data-rate, self-organized, and multi-hop setting. IR-UWB is a potential physical la ...

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 ...

Collaborative video streaming with Raptor network coding

Pascal Frossard, Nikolaos Thomos

We investigate the problem of collaborative video streaming with Raptor network coding over overlay networks. We exploit path and source diversity, as well as basic processing capabilities of network nodes to increase the overall throughput and improve the ...

Optimal PHY and MAC Protocols for Wide-Band Ad-Hoc Networks

Jean-Yves Le Boudec

We consider a wide-band ad-hoc network with coherent radios in a slow-fading environment, and we analyze the performance of different physical layer (PHY) and medium access (MAC) schemes in such a network. Most of the existing analysis assume that PHY is b ...

Raptor Network Video Coding

Pascal Frossard, Nikolaos Thomos

In this paper, we consider the problem of streaming video information on lossy packet networks with path and source diversity, such as wireless mesh networks or more generally overlay architectures. We propose to distribute the video information between se ...

MAC layer functions for SLEF

Alaeddine El Fawal, Lorenzo Keller

We develop three functions around the MAC layer: (1) Pseudo broadcast is a technique used to improve throughput of broadcast transmissions in case of congested networks. The mechanism consists in sending a packet in unicast to a station using RTS/CTS. Othe ...

Node Cooperation in Hybrid Ad hoc Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Naouel Ben Salem, Levente Buttyan

A hybrid ad hoc network is a structure-based network that is extended using multi-hop communications. Indeed, in this kind of network, the existence of a communication link between the mobile station and the base station is not required: A mobile station t ...
