Scalable and Efficient Key Agreement Protocols for Secure Multicast Communication in MANETs
(2002)
In this paper protocols for group key distribution are compared and evaluated from the point of view of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). A MANET is a collection of wireless mobile nodes, communicating among themselves over ...
Feedback Control of Border Collision Bifurcations in Two-Dimensional Discrete-Time Systems
(2002)
The feedback control of border collision bifurcations is consideredfor two-dimensional discrete-time systems. These are bifurcations that can occur when a fixed point of a piecewise smooth system crosses the border between ...
A Dynamic Optimization Approach to the Scheduling Problem in Satellite and Wireless Broadcast Systems
(2002)
The continuous growth in the demand for access to information andthe increasing number of users of the information delivery systemshave sparked the need for highly scalable systems with moreefficient usage of the bandwidth. ...
Intelligent Distributed Fault and Performance Management for Communication Networks
(2002)
This dissertation is devoted to the design of an intelligent,distributed fault and performance management system forcommunication networks. The architecture is based on a distributed agent paradigm, with belief networks ...
Market- Based Resource Allocation for Content Delivery in the Internet
(2002)
The Internet has evolved into a worldwide information backbone with vast user base. Internet users are diverse and they receive varying utilities from their network connections. In many cases high-level user decisions ...
Supply Chain Simulation Models for Evaluating the Impact of Rescheduling Frequencies
(2002)
Supply chain simulation is a very useful tool in the decision making process either for implementing a new supply chain or for making changes to an existing one. The effort required in building supply chain simulation ...
Channel State-Adaptive Techniques for Throughput Enhancement in Wireless Broadband Networks
(2002)
Wireless broadband access is becoming increasingly popular in the telecommunications market due to the projected demand for flexible and easily deployable high-speed connections. In order to adhere to the volatility of the ...
Negotiating Access Control Policies Between Autonomous Domains
(2002)
Autonomous policy domains often need to share resources to accomplish a common task. To do this they must negotiate a common access control policy to the shared resources. We use mathematical techniques from game theory ...
Resource allocation issues in broadband wireless networks with OFDM signaling
(2002)
Wireless broadband technologies are anticipated to flourish in thenext few years, due to the increasing demand for wireless connectivityand the need to support enhanced services and applications in local-or wide-area ...
Medium Access Control and Quality-of-Service Routing for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
(2002)
A mobile ad hoc network is an autonomous system consisting solely of mobile terminals connected with wireless links. This type of network has received considerable interest in recent years due to its capability to be ...
