Densification of the network deployment, for example by adding new sectors or sites within an existing mobile communication network, has traditionally been an efficient way to improve the system coverage and capacity. That will be the case…
In mobile computing systems, users can access network services anywhere and anytime using mobile devices such as tablets and smart phones. These devices connect to the Internet via network or telecommunications operators. Users usually have…
Quality of service (QoS) provisioning in next-generation mobile communications systems entails a deep understanding of the delay performance. The delay in wireless networks is strongly affected by the traffic arrival process and the service…
This study takes a close look at mobile web performance. The two main parameters determining web page load time are the network speed and the computing power of the end-user device. Based on data from real users, this paper quantifies the…
Consider a scenario of broadcasting a common content to a group of cooperating mobile devices that are within proximity of each other. Devices in this group may receive partial content from the source due to packet losses over wireless…
Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) is a cellular network that is popular and has been growing in recent years. It was developed to solve fragmentation issues of the first cellular system, and it addresses digital modulation…
\emph{Contention Resolution} is a fundamental symmetry-breaking problem in which $n$ devices must acquire temporary and exclusive access to some \emph{shared resource}, without the assistance of a mediating authority. For example, the $n$…
In the field of distributed consensus and blockchains, the synchronous communication model assumes that all messages between honest parties are delayed at most by a known constant $\Delta$. Recent literature establishes that the…
Cellular network performance can significantly benefit from direct device-to-device (D2D) communication, but interference from cochannel D2D communication limits the performance gain. In hybrid networks consisting of D2D and cellular links,…
This work introduces a compact framework for analyzing asynchronous entanglement distribution protocols under realistic error models. We focus on two contemporary protocols: sequential, where entanglement is established one node at a time,…
The rapidly increasing number of mobile devices, voluminous data, and higher data rate are pushing to rethink the current generation of the cellular mobile communication. The next or fifth generation (5G) cellular networks are expected to…
Multipath-TCP receives a lot of attention recently and can potentially improve quality of service for both private and commercial users. It leverages the multiple available paths and send packets through all the available paths. The growing…
As the wireless communication paradigm is being transformed from human centered communication services towards machine centered communication services, the requirements of rate, latency and reliability for these services have also been…
