Global stability conditions for rate control with arbitrary communication delays
(2003)
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 ...
Foundations of Swarm Intelligence: From Principles to Practice
(2003)
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 ...
Jitter Analysis of CBR Streams in Multimedia Networks
(2003)
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 ...
Efficient Media Access Protocols for Wireless LANs with Smart Antennas
(2003)
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 ...
A Parallel Virtual Queue Structure for Active Queue Management
(2003)
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 ...
A Parallel Virtual Queue Structure for Active Queue Management
(2003)
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 ...
Convergence Properties For Uniform Ant Routing
(2003)
We study the convergence property of a family of distributed routingalgorithms based on the ant colony metaphor, which generalize the uniform ant routing algorithms proposed earlier. For a simple two-node network, we show ...
Congestion management in access networks with long propagation delay
(2003)
Satellite networks are going to play an important role in the global information infrastructure. Satellites can be used to provide Internet services to fixed users and to mobile users. However, recent measurements show ...
IP Multicast via Satellite: A Survey
(2003)
Many of the emerging applications in the Internet, such astele-conferencing, distance-learning, distributed games, softwareupdates, and distributed computing would benefit from multicastservices. In many of these applications, ...
Variability ordering for the backlog in buffer models fed by on-off fluid sources
(2003)
In the context buffer models fed by independent on-off fluid sources, we explore conditions under which "determinism minimizes the stationary backlog." These comparison results are couched in terms of the convex ordering ...
