High Performance Rate Adaptation on IEEE 802.11 Networks
(2008-09-09)
IEEE 802.11 standard has evolved from the basic transmission rates in early days to multiple
rates today with advanced encoding and antenna techniques. The performance of IEEE 802.11
wireless networks is supposed to ...
Improving Throughput of Video Streaming in Wireless Sensor Networks
(2008-09-09)
Wireless sensor networks are originally distributed event-based systems that differ from traditional communication networks in several ways. These networks typically have nodes with severe energy constraints, variable ...
Scalable, Self-Healing, and Real-Time Network Services for Directed Diffusion
(2008-09-09)
Directed diffusion is a data-centric publish-subscribe routing protocol for sensor networks. We have proposed three network services which increase the capabilities of directed diffusion. Our protocols build on the inherent ...

(2008-09-09)
More and more research is being done everyday in the world of e-commerce as consumers and merchants alike realize how powerful a selling tool the internet has become. Research shows that trust is key to the success of ...
On Secure Media Streaming with Path Diversity in MANETs
(2008-09-09)
To provide reliable and secure media streaming is quite challenging in the
environment of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) in which wireless signals are
exposed in air and the quality of media streaming is degraded by ...
Genetic and Evolutionary Protocols for Solving Distributed Asymmetric Constraint Satisfaction Problems
(2008-09-09)
Processor speed has been growing at an exponential rate over the past 50 years. Computers are getting smaller, cheaper and faster. Over the past 30 years, with the growth of the internet, new forms of decentralized ...
Timer-based Protocols in Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks
(2008-09-09)
Wireless ad hoc and sensor networks present the next great challenge for distributed system research. In wireless ad hoc and sensor networks, each node participates the routing process that
allows a packet to be forwarded ...
