Live multimedia streaming from mobile devices is rapidly gaining popularity but little is known about the QoE they provide. In this paper, we examine the Periscope service. We first crawl the service in order to understand its usage…
Information-centric networking proposals attract much attention in the ongoing search for a future communication paradigm of the Internet. Replacing the host-to-host connectivity by a data-oriented publish/subscribe service eases content…
This Article presents a thorough overview of QoS routing metrics, resources and factors affecting performance of QoS routing protocols. The relative strength, weakness, and applicability of existing QoS routing protocols are also studied…
Device-to-Device (D2D) communication appears as a key communication paradigm to realizing the vision of Internet of Things (IoT) into reality by supporting heterogeneous objects interconnection in a large scale network. These devices may be…
To keep up with increasing demands on quality of experience, assessing and understanding the performance of network connections is crucial for web service providers. While different measures, like TCP options, alternative transport layer…
Ensuring reliable communication despite possibly malicious participants is a primary objective in any distributed system or network. In this paper, we investigate the possibility of reliable broadcast in a dynamic network whose topology may…
A wireless network in which packets are broadcast to a group of receivers through use of a random access protocol is considered in this work. The relation to previous work on networks of interacting queues is discussed and subsequently, the…
This paper investigates the use of WiFi and mobile device-to-device networks, with vehicular ad hoc networks being a typical example, as a complementary means to offload and reduce the traffic load of cellular networks. A novel cooperative…
This article studies disruption tolerant networks (DTNs) where each node knows the probabilistic distribution of contacts with other nodes. It proposes a framework that allows one to formalize the behaviour of such a network. It generalizes…
A novel interference management approach is proposed for modern communication scenarios, where multiple applications and networks coexist on the same channel resource. The leading principle behind the proposed approach is that the…
In this paper, we address the problem of uncertainty quantification for cellular network speed. It is a well-known fact that the actual internet speed experienced by a mobile phone can fluctuate significantly, even when remaining in a…
While the IEEE 802.11 protocol is being widely used, it is not specifically designed to handle multimedia traffic, which covers an important portion of the Internet traffic today. Voice and video multicast streaming is inefficient, as there…
One of the fundamental elements impacting the performance of a wireless system is interference, which has been a long-term issue in wireless networks. In the case of cognitive radio (CR) networks, the problem of interference is tremendously…
Secure message dissemination is an important issue in vehicular networks, especially considering the vulnerability of vehicle to vehicle message dissemination to malicious attacks. Traditional security mechanisms, largely based on message…
A constant need to increase the network capacity for meeting the growing demands of the subscribers has led to the evolution of cellular communication networks from the first generation (1G) to the fifth generation (5G). There will be…
QUIC is a new protocol standardized in 2021 designed to improve on the widely used TCP / TLS stack. The main goal is to speed up web traffic via HTTP, but it is also used in other areas like tunneling. Based on UDP it offers features like…
The rapid growth of the internet in general and of bandwidth capacity at internet clients in particular poses increasing computation and bandwidth demands on internet servers. Internet access technologies like ADSL [DSL], Cable Modem and…
This chapter summarizes the results obtained from a test bed, which is composed of a microgrid and a wireless network, both relying on real and practical premises. This test bed aims to evaluate application protocols considered in the…
