On the MAC for Power-Line Communications: Modeling Assumptions and Performance Tradeoffs

Patrick Thiran, Julien Pierre Sacha Herzen, Christina Vlachou

Power-line communications are becoming a key component in home networking. The dominant MAC protocol for high data-rate power-line communications, IEEE 1901, employs a CSMA/CA mechanism similar to the backoff process of 802.11. Existing performance evaluat ...

Cooperative Relaying at Finite SNR-Role of Quantize-Map-and-Forward

Christina Fragouli, Ayan Sengupta, I-Hsiang Wang

This paper contributes to the design and analysis of Quantize-Map-and-Forward (QMF) relaying by optimizing its performance for small relay networks. QMF was proved to achieve the capacity of arbitrary networks within a bounded gap, as well as the optimal d ...

Mining Democracy

Patrick Thiran, Matthias Grossglauser, Julien Pierre Sacha Herzen, Vincent Etter

Switzerland has a long tradition of direct democracy, which makes it an ideal laboratory for research on real-world politics. Similar to recent open government initiatives launched worldwide, the Swiss government regularly releases datasets related to stat ...

Network Neutrality Inference

Ovidiu Sebastian Mara, Zhiyong Zhang

When can we reason about the neutrality of a network based on external observations? We prove conditions under which it is possible to (a) detect neutrality violations and (b) localize them to specific links, based on external observations. Our insight is ...

Secure and Private Proofs for Location-Based Activity Summaries in Urban Areas

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Kévin Clément Huguenin, Igor Bilogrevic, Thi Van Anh Pham

Activity-based social networks, where people upload and share information about their location-based activities (e.g., the routes of their activities), are increasingly popular. Such systems, however, raise privacy and security issues: the service provider ...

A Location-Privacy Threat Stemming from the Use of Shared Public IP Addresses

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Kévin Clément Huguenin, Nevena Vratonjic, Vincent Bindschaedler

This paper presents a concrete and widespread example of situation where a user’s location privacy is unintentionally compromised by others, specifically the location-privacy threat that exists at access points (public hotspots, FON, home routers, etc.) th ...

Gaussian (dirty) multiple access channels: a compute-and-forward perspective

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Jingge Zhu

Lattice codes are applied to the two-user Gaussian multiple access channel (MAC) combined with a modified compute-and-forward transmitting scheme. It is shown that non-corner points on the boundary of the capacity region can be achieved by decoding two int ...

Switched Local Schedules for Diamond Networks

Christina Fragouli, Siddhartha Brahma, Ayan Sengupta

We consider a Gaussian diamond network where a source communicates with the destination through

n

non-interfering half-duplex relays. We focus on half-duplex schedules that utilize only local channel state information, i.e., each relay has access to its ...

Design and Characterization of a Full-Duplex Multiantenna System for WiFi Networks

Vaneet Aggarwal

In this paper, we present an experiment-and simulation-based study to evaluate the use of full duplex (FD) as a potential mode in practical IEEE 802.11 networks. To enable the study, we designed a 20-MHz multiantenna orthogonal frequency-division-multiplex ...
