Multi-antenna precoding effectively mitigates the interference in wireless networks. However, the resultant performance gains can be significantly compromised in practice if the precoder design fails to account for the inaccuracy in the…
In random-access networks, such as the IEEE 802.11 network, different users may transmit their packets simultaneously, resulting in packet collisions. Traditionally, the collided packets are simply discarded. To improve performance,…
Content-Centric Networking (CCN) naturally supports multi-path communication, as it allows the simultaneous use of multiple interfaces (e.g. LTE and WiFi). When multiple sources and multiple clients are considered, the optimal set of…
