Network traffic includes data transmitted across a network, such as web browsing and file transfers, and is organized into packets (small units of data) and flows (sequences of packets exchanged between two endpoints). Classifying encrypted…
Systems of networked mobile robots, such as unmanned aerial or ground vehicles, will play important roles in future military and commercial applications. The communications for such systems will typically be over wireless links and may…
In this paper, we consider the problem of link scheduling in multi-hop wireless networks under general interference constraints. Our goal is to design scheduling schemes that do not use per-flow or per-destination information, maintain a…
With the growing popularity of mobile smart devices, the existing networks are unable to meet the requirement of many complex scenarios; current network architectures and protocols do not work well with the network with high latency and…
This paper deals with cellular (e.g. LTE) networks that selectively offload the mobile data traffic onto WiFi (IEEE 802.11) networks to improve network performance. We propose the Seamless Internetwork Flow Mobility (SIFM) architecture that…
In the recent years, WiFi standard has been used to develop different kind of wireless networks due to its flexibility and the availability of cheap off the shelf hardware. Even if the standard itself lacks mobility support, it has been…
This paper proposes a relaying strategy for the multiple-relay network in which each relay decodes a selection of transmitted messages by other transmitting terminals, and forwards parities of the decoded codewords. This protocol improves…
Due to the fact that quality of service requirements are not very strict for all traffic types, more calls of higher priority can be accommodated by reducing some bandwidth allocation for the bandwidth adaptive calls. The bandwidth…
With the emergence of Cloud-RAN as one of the dominant architectural solutions for next-generation mobile networks, the reliability and latency on the fronthaul (FH) segment become critical performance metrics for applications such as the…
The first decade of the 21st century has seen tremendous improvements in mobile internet and its technologies. The high traffic volume of services such as video conference and other real-time traffic applications are imposing a great…
Multi-stream carrier aggregation is a key technology to expand bandwidth and improve the throughput of the fifth-generation wireless communication systems. However, due to the diversified propagation properties of different frequency bands,…
Mobility may degrade the performance of next-generation vehicular networks operating at the millimeter-wave spectrum: frequent loss of alignment and blockages require repeated beam training and handover, thus incurring huge overhead. In…
The highway vehicular ad hoc networks, where vehicles are wirelessly inter-connected, rely on the multi-hop transmissions for end-to-end communications. This, however, is severely challenged by the unreliable wireless connections, signal…
