Currently IPv6 is extremely popular with companies, organizations and Internet service providers (ISP) due to the limitations of IPv4. In order to prevent an abrupt change from IPv4 to IPv6, three mechanisms will be used to provide a smooth…

We show a lower bound on expected communication cost of interactive entanglement assisted quantum state redistribution protocols and a slightly better lower bound for its special case, quantum state transfer. Our bound implies that the…

Hybrid switching - in which a high bandwidth circuit switch (optical or wireless) is used in conjunction with a low bandwidth packet switch - is a promising alternative to interconnect servers in today's large scale data-centers. Circuit…

Energy costs are a major factor in the total cost of ownership (TCO) for high-performance computing (HPC) systems. The rise of intermittent green energy sources and reduced reliance on fossil fuels have introduced volatility into…

With the proliferation of mobile computing devices, the demand for continuous network connectivity regardless of physical location has spurred interest in the use of mobile ad hoc networks. Since Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is the…

We consider a hybrid wireless local area network composed of both WiFi and LiFi Access Points (AP) and wireless devices. Each device is identified in the network by a unique IP address, using a virtual network interface obtained by bonding…

A critical challenge for modern system design is meeting the overwhelming performance, storage, and communication bandwidth demand of emerging applications within a tightly bound power budget. As both the time and power, hence the energy,…

Existing standard protocols for the web and Internet telephony fail to deliver real-time interactive communication from within a web browser. In particular, the client-server web protocol over reliable TCP is not always suitable for…

Virtual memory has been a standard hardware feature for more than three decades. At the price of increased hardware complexity, it has simplified software and promised strong isolation among colocated processes. In modern computing systems,…

In this paper, we revisit the communication vs. distributed computing trade-off, studied within the framework of MapReduce in [1]. An implicit assumption in the aforementioned work is that each server performs all possible computations on…

The anticipated deployment cost of 5G communication networks in the UK is predicted to be in between {\pounds}30bn- {\pounds}50bn, whereas the current annual capital expenditure of the mobile network operators (MNOs) is {\pounds}2.5bn. This…

Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) is currently one of the hottest technologies in wireless, it is a standard-based on the IEEE 802.16 wireless technology that provides high throughput broadband connections over long…

Voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) is one of the most important applications for the IEEE 802.11 wireless local area networks (WLANs). For network planners who are deploying VoIP over WLANs, one of the important issues is the VoIP…

We describe a system for serverless computing where users, programs, and the underlying platform share a common representation of a computation: a deterministic procedure, run in an environment of well-specified data or the outputs of other…

In this paper, we study the trade-off between the transmission cost and the control performance of the multi-loop networked control system subject to network-induced delay. Within the linear-quadratic-Gaussian (LQG) framework, the joint…

We analyze the performance of TCP and TCP with network coding (TCP/NC) in lossy networks. We build upon the framework introduced by Padhye et al. and characterize the throughput behavior of classical TCP and TCP/NC as a function of erasure…

Distributed Complex Event Processing (DCEP) is a commonly used paradigm to detect and act on situational changes of many applications, including the Internet of Things (IoT). DCEP achieves this using a simple specification of analytical…

Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN) is an emerging communication standard for Internet of Things (IoT) that has strong potential to support connectivity of a large number of roadside sensors with an extremely long communication range.…

We are studying some fundamental properties of the interface between control and data planes in Information-Centric Networks. We try to evaluate the traffic between these two planes based on allowing a minimum level of acceptable distortion…

Today, Voice over Wireless Local Area Network (VOWLAN) is the most accepted Internet application. There are a large number of literatures regarding the performance of various WLAN networks. Most of them focus on simulations and modeling,…
