A diffusion process on complex networks is introduced in order to uncover their large scale topological structures. This is achieved by focusing on the slowest decaying diffusive modes of the network. The proposed procedure is applied to…
The exponential growth of Internet traffic has made public servers increasingly vulnerable to unauthorized accesses and intrusions. In addition to maintaining low latency for the client, filtering unauthorized accesses has become one of the…
In September 2020, the Broadband Forum published a new industry standard for measuring network quality. The standard centers on the notion of quality attenuation. Quality attenuation is a measure of the distribution of latency and packet…
This main objective of this research is to analyze the common issues of the current and past IEEE 802.11 versions (which is also called as Wi-Fi) that have risen with the increase of internet users and their demands. While this study is…
Nowadays, the bulk of Internet traffic uses TCP protocol for reliable transmission. But the standard TCP's performance is very poor in High Speed Networks (HSN) and hence the core gigabytes links are usually underutilization. This problem…
The Internet has made several giant leaps over the years, from a fixed to a mobile Internet, then to the Internet of Things, and now to a Tactile Internet. The Tactile Internet goes far beyond data, audio and video delivery over fixed and…
The heterogeneous and distributed nature of the Internet of Things (IoT) is driving the need for extremely fast and fine-grained service provisioning in 5/5+G architectures and beyond. To meet these needs, it is critical to enable efficient…
Cloud providers are highly incentivized to reduce latency. One way they do this is by locating datacenters as close to users as possible. These "cloud edge" datacenters are placed in metropolitan areas and enable edge computing for…
Wireless networks have become the main form of Internet access. Statistics show that the global mobile Internet penetration should exceed 70\% until 2019. Wi-Fi is an important player in this change. Founded on IEEE 802.11, this technology…
Caching is emerging as a vital tool for alleviating the severe capacity crunch in modern content-centric wireless networks. The main idea behind caching is to store parts of popular content in end-users' memory and leverage the locally…
As a novel concept in technology and communication world, \emph{"Internet of Things (IoT)"} has been emerged. In such a modern technology, the capability to transmit data through data communication networks (such as Internet or Intranet) is…
Power consumption in communication networks and the supporting computing systems continues to increase due to the increase in traffic and processing requirements, and due to the relatively slower improvements in energy efficiency. Future…
This paper investigates the use of a networked system ($e.g.$, swarm of robots, smart grid, sensor network) to monitor a time-varying phenomenon of interest in the presence of communication and computation latency. Recent advances in edge…
This paper studies the effect of rate adaptation in time slotted Internet of things (IoT) networks. For a given time slot duration and packets size, rate adaptation necessitates packet fragmentation to fit the time slot duration. Accounting…
Nowadays computer networks use different kind of memory whose speeds and capacities vary widely. There exist methods of a so-called caching which are intended to use the different kinds of memory in such a way that the frequently used data…
Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) is a networked version of optical wireless communication (OWC), which is a strong candidate to fulfill the unprecedented increase in user-traffic expected in the near future. In OWC, a high number of optical access…
Concerted efforts are underway to establish an infrastructure for a global quantum internet to realise a spectrum of quantum technologies. This will enable more precise sensors, secure communications, and faster data processing. Quantum…
With current efforts to design Future Internet Architectures (FIAs), the evaluation and comparison of different proposals is an interesting research challenge. Previously, metrics such as bandwidth or latency have commonly been used to…
The terahertz (THz) band, 0.1-10 THz, has sufficient resources not only to satisfy the 5G requirements of 10 Gbit/s peak data rate but to enable a number of tempting rate-greedy applications. However, the THz band brings novel challenges,…
Currently, we are overwhelmed by a deluge of experimental data, and network physics has the potential to become an invaluable method to increase our understanding of large interacting datasets. However, this potential is often unrealized…
