Joint Identity-Message Coding for Sensor Networks

Christina Fragouli, Suhas Diggavi, Lorenzo Keller, Mahdi Jafari Siavoshani

In a significant class of sensor-network applications, the identities of the reporting sensors constitute the bulk of the communicated data, whereas the message itself can be as small as a single bit—for instance, in many cases, sensors are used to detect ...

COMBINE: An Improved Directory-Based Consistency Protocol

Vincent Gramoli, Hagit Albo Attiya

This paper presents COMBINE, a directory-based consistency protocol for shared objects, designed for large-scale distributed systems with unreliable links. Directory-based consistency protocols support move requests, allowing to write the object locally, a ...

How Efficient Can Gossip Be? (On the Cost of Resilient Information Exchange)

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert, Dan Alistarh, Morteza Zadimoghaddam

Gossip, also known as epidemic dissemination, is becoming an in- creasingly popular technique in distributed systems. Yet, it has remained a partially open question: how robust are such protocols? We consider a natural ex- tension of the random phone-call ...

Castor: Scalable Secure Routing for Ad Hoc Networks

Karl Aberer, Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Marcin Poturalski, Wojciech Galuba, Zoran Despotovic

Wireless ad hoc networks are inherently vulnerable, as any node can disrupt the communication of potentially any other node in the network. Many solutions to this problem have been proposed. In this paper, we take a fresh and comprehensive approach that ad ...

SenseCode: Network Coding for Reliable Sensor Networks

Christina Fragouli, Lorenzo Keller, Emre Atsan

Designing a communication protocol for sensor networks often involves obtaining the "right" trade-off between energy efficiency and reliability. In this paper, we show that network coding provides a means to elegantly balance these two goals. We present th ...

A New Message Recognition Protocol with Self-recoverability for Ad Hoc Pervasive Networks

Atefeh Mashatan

We examine the problem of message recognition by reviewing the definitions and the security model in the literature. In particular, we examine the Jane Doe protocol, which was proposed by Lucks et al., more closely and note its inability to recover in case ...

A Study of Forward Error Correction Schemes for Reliable Transport in Underwater Sensor Networks

Florent Frédéric Garcin

Underwater communications is a very challenging topic due to its singular channel characteristics. Most protocols used in terrestrial wireless communications can not be directly applied in the underwater world. A high bit error rate and low propagation del ...

Protocol composition frameworks and modular group communication

Sergio Mena

It is noticeable that our society is increasingly relying on computer systems. Nowadays, computer networks can be found at places where it would have been unthinkable a few decades ago, supporting in some cases critical applications on which human lives ma ...

Service Interface: A New Abstraction for Implementing and Composing Protocols

André Schiper, Olivier Rütti

In this paper we compare two approaches to the design of protocol frameworks -- tools for implementing modular network protocols. The most common approach uses events as the main abstraction for a local interaction between protocol modules. We argue that a ...

Evaluating scheduling policies for fine-grain communication protocols on a cluster of SMPs

Babak Falsafi, David Wood

Distributed-memory parallel computers and networks of workstations (NOWs) both rely on efficient communication over increasingly high-speed networks. Software communication protocols are often the performance bottleneck. Several current and proposed parall ...
