Cloud virtual reality (VR) has emerged as a promising technology, offering users a highly immersive and easily accessible experience. However, the current 5G radio access network faces challenges in accommodating the bursty traffic…
We present a novel efficient adaptive sensing and monitoring solution for a system of mobile sensing devices that support traffic monitoring applications. We make a key observation that much of the variance in commute times arises at a few…
Low-Earth Orbit satellites have gained momentum to provide Internet connectivity, augmenting those in the long-established geostationary orbits. At the same time, QUIC has been developed as the new transport protocol for the web. While QUIC…
In order to curtail the escalating packet loss rates caused by an exponential increase in network traffic, active queue management techniques such as Random Early Detection (RED) have come into picture. Flow Random Early Drop (FRED) keeps…
Optimizing network throughput in real-world dynamic systems is critical, especially for diverse and delay-sensitive multimedia data types such as VoIP and video streaming. Traditional routing protocols, which rely on static metrics and…
Routing mechanisms for stochastic networks are often designed to produce state space collapse (SSC) in a heavy-traffic limit, i.e., to confine the limiting process to a lower-dimensional subset of its full state space. In a fluid limit, a…
We investigate two models for traffic flow with modified acceleration ('slow-to-start') rules. Even in the simplest case $v_{max}=1$ these rules break the 'particle-hole` symmetry of the model. We determine the fundamental diagram…
With the evolution of the online advertisement and tracking ecosystem, content-filtering has become the reference tool for improving the security, privacy and browsing experience when surfing the Internet. It is also commonly believed that…
Recently, high-speed and short-distance networks are widely deployed and their necessity is rapidly increasing everyday. This type of networks is used in several network applications; such as Local Area Networks (LAN) and Data Center…
In order to cope with the explosive growth of data traffic which is associated with a wide plethora of emerging applications and services that are expected to be used by both ordinary users and vertical industries, the congestion control…
Packet spraying approaches are increasingly deployed in datacenter networks. However, their combination with existing congestion control algorithms (CCAs) may lead to poor QoS, especially when some of the paths are congested. In this paper,…
This paper describes a new approach for allocating resources to video streaming traffic. Assuming that the future channel state can be predicted for a certain time, we minimize the fraction of the bandwidth consumed for smooth streaming by…
Unexpected increases in demand and most of all flash crowds are considered the bane of every web application as they may cause intolerable delays or even service unavailability. Proper quality of service policies must guarantee rapid…
Many prominent smart-contract applications such as payment channels, auctions, and voting systems often involve a mechanism in which some party must respond to a challenge or appeal some action within a fixed time limit. This pattern of…
Nowadays, loss-based TCP congestion controls in general and CUBIC specifically became the de facto standard for the Internet. BBR congestion control challenges the loss-based approach by modeling the network based on estimated bandwidth and…
The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) utilizes congestion avoidance and control mechanisms as a preventive measure against congestive collapse and as an adaptive measure in the presence of changing network conditions. The set of available…
We consider a single server queue that serves a finite population of $n$ customers that will enter the queue (require service) only once, also known as the $\Delta_{(i)}/G/1$ queue. This paper presents a method for analyzing heavy-traffic…
We study the information traffic in Barab\'asi-Albert scale free networks wherein each node has finite queue length to store the packets. It is found that in the case of shortest path routing strategy the networks undergo a first order…
Streaming algorithms are fundamental in the analysis of large and online datasets. A key component of many such analytic tasks is $q$-MAX, which finds the largest $q$ values in a number stream. Modern approaches attain a constant runtime by…
Monitoring and control of traffic networks represent alternative, inexpensive strategies to minimize traffic congestion. As the number of traffic sensors is naturally constrained by budgetary requirements, real-time estimation of traffic…
