We adopt the optimization framework for the rate allocation problem proposed by Kelly and investigate the stability of the system with arbitrary communication delays between network elements. It is shown that there is a ...

Swarm Intelligence (SI) is a relatively new paradigm being appliedin a host of research settings to improve the management andcontrol of large numbers of interacting entities such ascommunication, computer and sensor ...

In this paper we introduce a test through which the responsiveness of a TCP aggregate can be measured. The first introduced test is based on dropping a few packets from the aggregate and measuring the resulting rate decrease ...

We consider a wireless backbone network with free space optical point-to-point links. Such a network could form a backbone for either a cellular or hierarchical ad hoc network. Each backbone node has a limited number of ...

Hysteresis exhibited by smart materials hinders their wider applicability in actuators and sensors. In this paper methods are studied for recursive identification and adaptive inverse control of smart material actuators, ...

Preventive Maintenance (PM) models have traditionally concentrated on utilizing machine ``technical" state information such as the degree of deterioration. However, in real manufacturing systems, additional system operational ...

The performance of real time applications such as video andvoice streams relies on packet delay jitter. Large delay jittercauses buffer overflow or underflow at the receiver end and theuser encounters interrupts. The delay ...

The use of smart antennas in extending coverage range and capacity of wireless networks dictates the employment of novel media access control protocols, with which the base station (BS) or access point (AP) provides access ...

The performance of the Adaptive RED scheme is susceptible to bursty web traffic. In this paper a parallel virtual queue structure is proposed for active queue management at the bottleneck router. Real time connections such ...

The Adaptive RED proposed by Feng is shown to have small packetdelay and queue length variation for long-life TCP traffic suchas FTP connection with a large file size. However, a greatportion of Internet traffic is short-life ...
