In this work, we consider the case where a source with bursty traffic can adjust the transmission duration in order to increase the reliability. The source is equipped with a queue in order to store the arriving packets. We model the system…
Today's increasing demand for wirelessly uploading a large volume of User Generated Content (UGC) is still significantly limited by the throttled backhaul of residential broadband (typically between 1 and 3Mbps). We propose BaPu, a…
