Consider several source nodes communicating across a wireless network to a destination node with the help of several layers of relay nodes. Recent work by Avestimehr et al. has approximated the capacity of this network up to an additive…
Interdisciplinary application fields, such as automotive, industrial applications or field robotics show an increasing need for reliable and resilient wireless communication even under high load conditions. These mission-critical…
We study the problem of medium access control in domain of event-driven wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In this kind of WSN, sensor nodes send data to sink node only when an event occurs in the monitoring area. The nodes in this kind of…
Enabling low power wireless devices to adopt Nyquist sampling at high carriers is prohibitive. In spectrum sensing, this limit calls for an analog front-end that can sweep different bands quickly, in order to use the available spectrum…
We address a fundamental problem that is systematically encountered when modeling complex systems: the limitedness of the information available. In the case of economic and financial networks, privacy issues severely limit the information…
Peer sampling is a first-class abstraction used in distributed systems for overlay management and information dissemination. The goal of peer sampling is to continuously build and refresh a partial and local view of the full membership of a…
In this paper, we propose the Stateless Permutation of Application Memory (SPAM), a software defense that enables fine-grained data permutation for C programs. The key benefits include resilience against attacks that directly exploit…
Provisioning of Quality of Service (QoS) is a key issue in any multi-media system. However, in wireless systems, supporting QoS requirements of different traffic types is more challenging due to the need to minimize two performance metrics…
IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) is an essential routing protocol to enable communications for IoT networks with low power devices. RPL uses an objective function and routing constraints to find an optimized…
We define a problem of certifying computation integrity performed by some remote party we do not necessarily trust. We present a multi-party interactive protocol called SafeComp that solves this problem under specified constraints.…
WiFi offloading is regarded as one of the most promising techniques to deal with the explosive data increase in cellular networks due to its high data transmission rate and low requirement on devices. In this paper, we investigate the…
The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the feasibility of authenticated throughput-efficient routing in an unreliable and dynamically changing synchronous network in which the majority of malicious insiders try to destroy and alter…
