We consider the consensus problem in self-organized networks such as MANETs. Consensus offers a means for reliably solving agreement related problems, which in a self-organized setting can help bring enhanced structure and reliability to the highly dynamic ...
We consider the issue of which criteria to use when evaluating the design of a wireless multihop network. It is known, and we illustrate in this paper, that maximizing the total capacity, or transport capacity, leads to gross imbalance and is not suitable. ...
Ad hoc network users are resource constrained: Before transmitting data, they have to take into account the energy expenditure involved. Even if a user is, in principle, willing to spend energy to improve network connectivity, his actual decision will be h ...
Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) represent a new and promising paradigm that uses multi-hop communications to extend WiFi networks: By deploying only one hot spot (directly connected to the Internet) and several transient access points (TAPs), an Internet Ser ...
There is a fundamental tradeoff between power consumption, data transmission rates, and congestion levels in a wireless network. These three elements influence the performance of rate and power control strategies, and they need to be coordinated judiciousl ...
A robust algorithm is developed for jointly controlling the power and rate of flow in a distributed wireless network. The dynamics of the network is modelled as a discrete-time state-delayed system with uncertainties and the proposed algorithm achieves bet ...
In recent years, wireless Internet service providers (WISPs) have established thousands of WiFi hot spots in cafes, hotels and airports in order to offer to travelling Internet users access to email, web or other Internet service. However, two major proble ...
We consider the question of what performance metric to maximize when designing adhoc wireless network protocols such as routing or MAC. We focus on maximizing rates under battery lifetime and power constraints. Commonly used metrics are total capacity (in ...
