Traditional terrestrial communication infrastructures often fail to collect the timely information from Internet of Thing (IoT) devices in remote areas. To address this challenge, we investigate a Satellite-unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV)…
Load balancing across parallel servers is an important class of congestion control problems that arises in service systems. An effective load balancer relies heavily on accurate, real-time congestion information to make routing decisions.…
Air Traffic Flow and Capacity Management (ATFCM) is one of the constituent parts of Air Traffic Management (ATM). The goal of ATFCM is to make airport and airspace capacity meet traffic demand and, when capacity opportunities are exhausted,…
In ATM systems, the massive number of interacting entities makes it difficult to identify critical elements and paths of disturbance propagation, as well as to predict the system-wide effects that innovations might have. To this end,…
We consider the Adversarial Queuing Theory (AQT) model, where packet arrivals are subject to a maximum average rate $0\le\rho\le1$ and burstiness $\sigma\ge0$. In this model, we analyze the size of buffers required to avoid overflows in the…
Topological design of terrestrial networks for communication via satellites is studied in the paper. Quantitative model of the network cost-analysis minimizing the total transmission and switching cost is described. Several algorithms…
Motivated by recent concerns that queuing delays in the Internet are on the rise, we conduct a performance evaluation of Compound TCP (C-TCP) in two topologies: a single bottleneck and a multi-bottleneck topology, under different traffic…
This paper introduces a novel, fast atomic-snapshot protocol for asynchronous message-passing systems. In the process of defining what ``fast'' means exactly, we spot a few interesting issues that arise when conventional time metrics are…
We have presented an optimal buffer sizing and buffer insertion methodology which uses stochastic models of the architecture and Continuous Time Markov Decision Processes CTMDPs. Such a methodology is useful in managing the scarce buffer…
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communication has emerged as a prominent technology for emergency communications (e.g., natural disaster) in the Internet of Things (IoT) networks to enhance the ability of disaster prediction, damage…
Asynchronous Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) consensus protocols, known for their robustness in unpredictable environments without relying on timing assumptions, are becoming increasingly vital for wireless applications. While these…
Currently, TCP is the most popular and widely used network transmission protocol. In actual fact, about 90% of connections on the internet use TCP to communicate. Through several upgrades and improvements, TCP became well optimized for the…
