Cross-technology communication (CTC) is a promising technique that enables direct communications among incompatible wireless technologies without needing hardware modification. However, it has not been widely adopted in real-world…
Protocol sequences are binary and periodic sequences used for deterministic multiple access in a collision channel without feedback. In this paper, we focus on user-irrepressible (UI) protocol sequences that can guarantee a positive…
This paper addresses a scheduling problem in the context of a cyber-physical system where a sensor and a controller communicate over an unreliable channel. The sensor observes the state of a source at each time, and according to a…
Currently, TCP is the most popular and widely used network transmission protocol. In actual fact, about 90% of connections on the internet use TCP to communicate. Through several upgrades and improvements, TCP became well optimized for the…
RDF-based systems increasingly operate in event-driven and streaming settings, where producers and consumers exchange data as discrete units of communication rather than as freely mergeable RDF statements. As existing RDF semantics and…
The paper presents a new steganographic method called RSTEG (Retransmission Steganography), which is intended for a broad class of protocols that utilises retransmission mechanisms. The main innovation of RSTEG is to not acknowledge a…
Multipath TCP (MPTCP) can exploit multiple available interfaces at the end devices by establishing concurrent multiple connections between source and destination. MPTCP is a drop-in replacement for TCP and this makes it an attractive choice…
We consider a multiple access communication system where multiple users share a common collision channel. Each user observes its local traffic and the feedback from the channel. At each time instant the feedback from the channel is one of…
In this paper, we consider the downlink broadcast channel under heterogenous blocklength constraints, where each user experiences different interference statistics across its received symbols. Different from the homogeneous blocklength…
The stability of scheduled multiaccess communication with random coding and independent decoding of messages is investigated. The number of messages that may be scheduled for simultaneous transmission is limited to a given maximum value,…
Protection of confidential data is an important security consideration of today's applications. Of particular concern is to guard against unintentional leakage to a (malicious) observer, who may interact with the program and draw inference…
Each node in a wireless multi-hop network can adjust the power level at which it transmits and thus change the topology of the network to save energy by choosing the neighbors with which it directly communicates. Many previous algorithms…
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) continues to be the dominant transport protocol on the Internet. The stability of fluid models has been a key consideration in the design of TCP and the performance evaluation of TCP algorithms. Based on…
This paper establishes a fundamental theory of secure clock synchronization. Accurate clock synchronization is the backbone of systems managing power distribution, financial transactions, telecommunication operations, database services,…
This paper presents the Coded Packet Transport (CPT) scheme, a novel transport mechanism for Optical Packet/Burst Switched (OPS/OBS) networks. The CPT scheme exploits the combined benefits of source coding by erasure codes and path…
Despite being under development for over 15 years, transaction throughput remains one of the key challenges confronting blockchains, which typically has a cap of a limited number of transactions per second. A fundamental factor limiting…
Stream Processing (SP) has evolved as the leading paradigm to process and gain value from the high volume of streaming data produced e.g. in the domain of the Internet of Things. An SP system is a middleware that deploys a network of…
Stream processing in the last decade has seen broad adoption in both commercial and research settings. One key element for this success is the ability of modern stream processors to handle failures while ensuring exactly-once processing…
This document specifies the Relational Schema Protocol (RSP). RSP enables loosely coupled applications to share and exchange relational data. It defines fixed message format for an arbitrary relational schema so that the changes in the data…
A network covert channel is created that uses resource names such as addresses to convey information, and that approximates typical user behavior in order to blend in with its environment. The channel correlates available resource names…
