The strength of carrier-sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) can be combined with that of time-division multiple access (TDMA) to enhance the channel access performance in wireless networks such as the IEEE…
Redundant storage maintains the performance of distributed systems under various forms of uncertainty. This paper considers the uncertainty in node access and download service. We consider two access models under two download service…
Heat-Diffusion (HD) routing is our recently-developed queue-aware routing policy for multi-hop wireless networks inspired by Thermodynamics. In the prior theoretical studies, we have shown that HD routing guarantees throughput optimality,…

We consider the wireless powered communications where users harvest energy from non-dedicated sources. The user follows a harvest-then-transmit protocol: in first phase of a slot time the source node harvests energy from a nearby…
Closed-loop flow control protocols, such as the prominent implementation TCP, are prevalent in the Internet, today. TCP has continuously been improved for greedy traffic sources to achieve high throughput over networks with large bandwidth…
In this work we present a model of an air transportation traffic system from the complex network modelling viewpoint. In the network, every node corresponds to a given airport, and two nodes are connected by means of flight routes. Each…
In data centers, the nature of the composite bursty traffic along with the small bandwidth-delay product and switch buffers lead to several congestion problems that are not handled well by traditional congestion control mechanisms such as…
The Transport Control Protocol has long been the primary transport protocol for applications requiring performance and reliability over the Internet. Unfortunately, due its retransmission mechanism, TCP incurs high packet delivery delays…
We consider a load balancing system consisting of $n$ single-server queues working in parallel, with heterogeneous service rates. Jobs arrive to a central dispatcher, which has to dispatch them to one of the queues immediately upon arrival.…

In this paper we consider a next generation edge architecture where traffic is routed via a proxy located close to the network edge (e.g. within a cloudlet). This creates freedom to implement new transport layer behaviour over the wireless…
Most existing caching solutions for wireless networks rest on an unrealistic assumption that the file popularity distribution is perfectly known. In this paper, we consider optimal caching designs for perfect, imperfect and unknown file…
