An Approach to Fixed/Mobile Converged Routing
(2000)
We consider a family of routing protocols for networks in which the core topology is essentially fixed by where the end systems may be mobile. We refer to this form of routing as Fixed/Mobile Converged (FMC) routing.<p>This ...
Buffer Engineering for M|G|infinity Input Processes
(2000)
We suggest the $M|G|infty$ input process as a viable model forrepresenting the heavy correlations observed in network traffic.Originally introduced by Cox, this model represents the busy-serverprocess of an $M|G|infty$ ...
Reliable Multicasting via Satellite: Delay Considerations
(2000)
Many different reliable multicast protocols have been proposed and analyzed in the current literature. Since satellites are naturallya braodcast medium, multicast communications have the potential togreatly benefit from ...
Integrating NASA Missions into the Internet using Commercial Satellite Constellations: Implementation of ATM-Based Cell-Relay Protocol Providing Support for Mission Integration
(2000)
Near-earth spacecraft are considered to be very LEO satellites. The commercial constellations to be tested range from high-density LEOs to GEOs. We have presently developed a complete baseline simulation model that uses ...
A Channel Probing Scheme for Wireless Networks
(2000)
A channel probing scheme for wireless networks is presented. By transmittinga probing signal in a channel and measuring the signal-to-interferenceratio (SIR), a link can estimate the channel condition and predict therequired ...
Stochastic Approximation and Optimization for Markov Chains
(2000)
We study the convergence properties of the projected stochasticapproximation (SA) algorithm which may be used to find the root of an unknown steady state function of a parameterized family of Markov chains. The analysis ...
Domain Name Based Visualization of Web Histories in a Zoomable User Interface
(2000)
Users of hypertext systems like the World Wide Web (WWW) often find themselves following hypertext links deeper and deeper, only to become "lost" and unable to find their way back to the previouslyvisited pages. We have ...
WebView Materialization
(2000)
A WebView is a web page automatically created from base datatypically stored in a DBMS. Given the multi-tiered architecture behinddatabase-backed web servers, we have the option of materializing aWebView inside the DBMS, ...
Traffic Models for Hybrid Satellite-Terrestrial Networks
(2000)
While Hybrid Satellite-Terrestrial Networks (HSTNs) have become a popular method of providing Internet connectivity, network dimensioning and performance prediction problems in these networkss in their terrestrial ...
Push-Based Information Delivery in Two Stage Satellite-Terrestrial Systems
(2000)
Satellite broadcast data delivery has inherent advantages in providing global access to information to everyone. However, users of satellite communications need expensive and cumbersome equipment to receive and transmit ...
