Motivated by increasing popularity of delay sensitive applications, we investigate the queue stability in device-to-device (D2D) relay-assisted cellular networks. In contrast to prior works on D2D relay-assisted cellular networks, we…
Within a few years of its introduction, QUIC has gained traction: a significant chunk of traffic is now delivered over QUIC. The networking community is actively engaged in debating the fairness, performance, and applicability of QUIC for…
A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a dynamic and complex service system. It causes a huge amount of traffic on the network infrastructure of Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Oftentimes, CDN providers and ISPs struggle to find an…
Advances in Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) have revolutionized the digital age to a point where animate and inanimate objects can be used as a communication channel. In addition, the ubiquity of mobile phones with increasing…
Content-centric networking (CCN) introduces a paradigm shift from a host centric to an information centric communication model for future Internet architectures. It supports the retrieval of a particular content regardless of the physical…
The emergence of affordable wireless and mobile devices was a key step towards deploying mobile peer-to-peer (P2P) systems. The latter allow users to share and search diverse multimedia resources over Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs). Due to…
This research investigates how CDNs (Content Delivery Networks) can improve the digital experience, as consumers increasingly expect fast, efficient, and effortless access to online resources. CDNs play a crucial role in reducing latency,…
The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and other similar protocols send the application data from the source machine to the destination machine inside segments, without foreseeing nor allowing for any type of control on the transmission or…
Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) mixes physical environments with user-interactive virtual annotations. Immersive MAR experiences are supported by computation-intensive tasks which rely on offloading mechanisms to ease device workloads.…
In wireless caching networks, the design of the content delivery method must consider random user requests, caching states, network topology, and interference management. In this paper, we establish a general framework for content delivery…
Minimizing the number of dropped User Datagram Protocol (UDP) messages in a network is regarded as a challenge by researchers. This issue represents serious problems for many protocols particularly those that depend on sending messages as…
This paper presents an approach to managing access to Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), focusing on combating the misuse of tokens through performance analysis and statistical access patterns. In particular, we explore the impact of token…
In distributed environments, such as distributed ledgers technologies and other peer-to-peer architectures, communication represents a crucial topic. The ability to efficiently disseminate contents is strongly influenced by the type of…
Immersive communications is a key use case for 6G where applications require reliable latency-bound media traffic at a certain data rate to deliver an acceptable User Experience (UX) or Quality-of-Experience (QoE). The Quality-of-Service…
Characterizing cellular network performance is complex. Current representations of cellular coverage, such as service provider and FCC coverage maps, focus only on the minimal level of available bandwidth (e.g., 35/3Mbps download/upload…
Main responsibility of a transport protocol is to support communication between two end-to-end entities. These entities can be hosts or devices, such as routers, firewalls etc. Transport protocol provides mechanism to have a virtually…
Information-theoretic arguments focus on modeling the reliability of information transmission, assuming availability of infinite data at sources, thus ignoring randomness in message generation times at the respective sources. However, in…
Wireless networks are envisaged to be one of the most important technologies to provide cost-efficient content delivery, including for video applications. They will allow thousands of thousands of fixed and mobile users to access, produce,…
Cellular and Broadcast services have been traditionally treated independently due to the different market requirements, thus resulting in different business models and orthogonal frequency allocations. However, with the advent of cheap…
Multimedia streaming to mobile devices is challenging for two reasons. First, the way content is delivered to a client must ensure that the user does not experience a long initial playback delay or a distorted playback in the middle of a…
