Insomnia in the Access or How to Curb Access Network Related Energy Consumption

Dejan Kostic, Marco Canini

Access networks include modems, home gateways, and DSL Access Multiplexers (DSLAMs), and are responsible for 70-80% of total network-based energy consumption. In this paper, we take an in-depth look at the problem of greening access networks, identify root ...

Effect of power randomization on saturation throughput of IEEE 802.11 WLAN

Saeid Sahraei

In this paper, we evaluate the saturation throughput for an IEEE 802.11 based wireless network considering capture effect at the receiver, while nodes transmit with random powers. In this respect, we consider a scenario consisting of a specific number of w ...

Routing and search on large scale networks

Dominique Florian Tschopp

In this thesis, we address two seemingly unrelated problems, namely routing in large wireless ad hoc networks and comparison based search in image databases. However, the underlying problem is in essence similar and we can use the same strategy to attack t ...

Self-Synchronizing Properties of CSMA Wireless Multi-hop Networks

Patrick Thiran, Olivier Dousse, Kuang Xu

We show that CSMA is able to spontaneously synchronize transmissions in a wireless network with constant-size packets, and that this property can be used to devise efficient synchronized CSMA scheduling mechanisms without message passing. Using tools from ...

Erased Secrets: Practical Information-Theoretic Group Secrecy

Christina Fragouli, Suhas Diggavi, Mahdi Jafari Siavoshani, Uday Kiran Pulleti

We consider the scenario where a group of wireless nodes want to exchange a secret key, such that no eavesdropper can guess the key. Today, this can be achieved using publickey cryptography, e.g., the Diffie-Hellman or the RSA keyexchange algorithms. Howev ...

On uncoordinated wireless ad-hoc networks

Alaeddine El Fawal

Emerging pervasive wireless networks, pocket switched networks, Internet of things, vehicular networks and even sensor networks present very challenging communication circumstances. They might involve up to several hundreds of wireless devices with mobilit ...

Evolution and Market Share of Wireless Community Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Peter Marbach

Wireless community networks that operate in the unlicensed spectrum have emerged as a low-cost alternative for providing high-speed wireless data services. By using WiFi access points that are provided and managed by community members, wireless community n ...

Fundamental limits and optimal operation in large wireless networks

Ayfer Özgür Aydin

Wireless adhoc networks consist of users that want to communicate with each other over a shared wireless medium. The users have transmitting and receiving capabilities but there is no additional infrastructure for assisting communication. This is in contra ...

Wireless Social Community Networks: A Game-Theoretic Analysis

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Mark Felegyhazi, Julien Freudiger, Peter Marbach

Wireless social community networks formed by users with a WiFi access point have been created as an alternative to traditional wireless networks that operate in the licensed spectrum. By relying on access points owned by users for access, wireless communit ...

Security and Cooperation in Wireless Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Levente Buttyan

According to most technology pundits, progress in wireless and sensor networks will lead us into a world of ubiquitous computing, in which myriads of tiny, untethered sensors and actuators will communicate with each other. Information technology will thus ...
