The throughput of wireless networks is known to scale poorly when the number of users grows. The rate at which an arbitrary pair of nodes can communicate must decrease to zero as the number of users tends to infinity, under various assumptions. One of them ...
Packet detection and timing acquisition for IR-UWB networks such as 802.15.4a relies on the presence of an acquisition sequence (or preamble) at the beginning of each packet. A simple network design choice is to use a common acquisition sequence for the wh ...
The emergence of wireless sensor networks has imposed many challenges on network design such as severe energy constraints, limited bandwidth and computing capabilities. This kind of networks necessitates network protocol architectures that are robust, ener ...
We propose a robust energy-aware clustering architecture for large-scale wireless sensor networks and analyze its performance in terms of throughput capacity and power consumption. The results show that clustered networks can achieve performance improvemen ...

n source and destination pairs randomly located in an area want to communicate with each other. Signals transmitted from one user to another at distance r apart are subject to a power attenuation of 1/r^alpha as well as a random phase. We identify exactly ...
The main objectives pursued by parallelism in communications are network capacity enhancement and fault-tolerance. Efficiently enhancing the capacity of a network by parallel communications is a non-trivial task. Some applications may also allow one to spl ...

Total order broadcast is a fundamental communication primitive that plays a central role in bringing cheap software-based high availability to a wide array of services. This paper studies the practical performance of such a primitive on a cluster of homoge ...
This paper combines various self-stabilization techniques within a replication protocol that ensures eventual consistency in large-scale distributed systems subject to network partitions and asynchrony. A simulation study shows that the resulting protocol ...
