One of the main novelties in 5G is the flexible Time Division Duplex (TDD) frame, which allows adaptation to the latency requirements. However, this flexibility is not sufficient to support heterogeneous latency requirements, in which…
The problem of maneuvering a vehicle through a race course in minimum time requires computation of both longitudinal (brake and throttle) and lateral (steering wheel) control inputs. Unfortunately, solving the resulting nonlinear optimal…
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…
Many UAV-related applications require group communications between UAVs to reliably and efficiently deliver rich media content as well as to extend line-of-sight coverage between sky and ground. This paper studies fast yet…
This paper analyses the performance of TCP over random and dedicated access methods in the context of DVB-RCS2. Random access methods introduce a lower connection delay compared to dedicated methods. We investigate the poten- tial to…
Multipath TCP (MPTCP) is a transport layer protocol that allows network devices to transfer data over multiple concurrent paths, and hence, utilizes the network resources more effectively than does the traditional single-path TCP. However,…
TLS is the most widely used cryptographic protocol on the Internet. While many recent studies focused on its use in HTTPS, none so far analyzed TLS usage in e-mail related protocols, which often carry highly sensitive information. Since…
Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) on low-power microcontrollers (e.g., ARM TrustZone-M) enable isolation of Secure and Non-Secure software but still require both worlds to share resources, including interrupt controllers. In this model,…
Session types are a typing discipline used to formally describe communication-driven applications with the aim of fewer errors and easier debugging later into the life cycle of the software. Protocols at the transport layer such as TCP,…
In Application layer multicast (ALM) also called Overlay Multicast, multicast-related functionalities are moved to end-hosts. The key advantages, overlays offers, are flexibility, adaptability and ease of deployment [1]. Application layer…
If two or more identical HTTPS clients, located at different geographic locations (regions), make an HTTPS request to the same domain (e.g. example.com), on the same day, will they receive the same HTTPS security guarantees in response? Our…
Browser fingerprinting is the identification of a browser through the network traffic captured during communication between the browser and server. This can be done using the HTTP protocol, browser extensions, and other methods. This paper…
Traceability greatly supports knowledge-intensive tasks, e.g., coverage check and impact analysis. Despite its clear benefits, the \emph{practical} implementation of traceability poses significant challenges, leading to a reduced focus on…
We propose the CLEX supercomputer topology and routing scheme. We prove that CLEX can utilize a constant fraction of the total bandwidth for point-to-point communication, at delays proportional to the sum of the number of intermediate hops…
Managed TLS has become a common approach for deploying HTTPS, with platforms generating and storing private keys and automating certificate issuance on behalf of domain operators. This model simplifies operational management but shifts…
Active measurements can be used to collect server characteristics on a large scale. This kind of metadata can help discovering hidden relations and commonalities among server deployments offering new possibilities to cluster and classify…
The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is one of the most important protocols in today's Internet. Its specification and implementations have been refined for almost forty years. The Linux TCP stack is one of the most widely used TCP…
Millimeter wave frequencies will likely be part of the fifth generation of mobile networks and of the 3GPP New Radio (NR) standard. MmWave communication indeed provides a very large bandwidth, thus an increased cell throughput, but how to…
TCP is the most widely used transport protocol in the internet. However, it offers suboptimal performance when operating over high bandwidth mmWave links. The main issues introduced by communications at such high frequencies are (i) the…
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is a commonly used protocol for data transmission in small embedded systems. UDP as such is unreliable and packet losses can occur. The achievable data rates can suffer if optimal packet sizes are not used. The…
