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 ...

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 ...

Optimizing TCP Receive Performance

Willy Zwaenepoel, Aravind Menon

The performance of the networking stack in an operating system depends on the overhead incurred by two of its components: the per-byte overhead incurred in data-touching operations, and the per-packet overhead of protocol processing and other operating sys ...

Loss-resilient window-based congestion control

Pascal Frossard, Christophe De Vleeschouwer

This paper addresses the problem of fair allocation of bandwidth resources on lossy channels in hybrid heterogeneous networks. It discusses more particularly the ability of window-based congestion control to support non-congestion related losses. We invest ...

Least-Cost Opportunistic Routing

Martin Vetterli, Matthias Grossglauser, Henri Julien Dubois-Ferrière

In opportunistic routing, each node maintains a group of candidate relays to reach a particular destination, and transmits packets to any node in this group. If a single candidate relay receives the packet, it becomes the effective relay to forward the pac ...

Secure incentives to cooperate for wireless networks

The operating principle of certain wireless networks makes essential the cooperation between the mobile nodes. However, if each node is an autonomous selfish entity, cooperation is not guaranteed and therefore we need to use incentive techniques. In this t ...

A Method for Routing Packets Across Multiple Paths in NoCs with In-Order Delivery and Fault-Tolerance Guarantees

Giovanni De Micheli, David Atienza Alonso, Luca Benini, Srinivasan Murali

Networks on Chips (NoCs) are required to tackle the increasing delay and poor scalability issues of bus-based communication architectures. Many of today’s NoC designs are based on single path routing. By utilizing multiple paths for routing, congestion in ...

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 ...

Anypath routing

Henri Julien Dubois-Ferrière

In many networks, it is less costly to transmit a packet to any node in a set of neighbors than to one specific neighbor. A well-known instance is with unreliable wireless links, where the probability that at least one node out ofnreceives a packet increas ...

Understanding the Gap between the IEEE 802.11 Protocol Performance and the Theoretical Limits

Patrick Thiran, Mathilde Durvy

The ability of the IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol to perform well in multi-hop ad hoc networks has been recently questioned. We observe levels of spatial reuse that are 30% to 50% away from the theoretical limit. The goal of this paper is ...
