Adaptive Protocols for Information Dissemination in Wireless Sensor Networks

by Wendi Rabiner Heinzelman, Joanna Kulik, Hari Balakrishnan , 1999
"... In this paper, we present a family of adaptive protocols, called SPIN (Sensor Protocols for Information via Negotiation) , that eciently disseminates information among sensors in an energy-constrained wireless sensor network. Nodes running a SPIN communication protocol name their data using high-lev ..."

A Rate-Adaptive MAC Protocol for Multi-Hop Wireless Networks

by Gavin Holland, Nitin H. Vaidya, Paramvir Bahl , 2001
"... Wireless local area networks (W-LANs) have become increasingly popular due to the recent availability of affordable devices that are capable of communicating at high data rates. These high rates are possible, in part, through new modulation schemes that are optimized for the channel conditions bring ..."

Distributed Quality-of-Service Routing in Ad-Hoc Networks

by Shigang Chen, Klara Nahrstedt - IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications , 1999
"... In an ad-hoc network, all communication is done over wireless media, typically by radio through air, without the help of wired base stations. Since direct communication is allowed only between adjacent nodes, distant nodes communicate over multiple hops. The quality-ofservice (QoS) routing in an ad- ..."

Payoff Adaptation of Communication for Distributed Interactive Applications

by Robin Kravets, Ken Calvert, Karsten Schwan , 1999
"... Present distributed applications are not typically designed to adapt themselves to changes in network conditions. In addition, network-based adaptation does not typically consider the requirements of specific applications and, therefore, may take actions contradictory to the application's needs ..."

Experimentation with multimedia applications and a variable reliability protocol demonstrates the benefit of using payoff-based adaptation. 1 Motivation and Research Goals Interactive

Protocols for adaptive wireless and mobile networking,

by David B Johnson , David A Maltz - IEEE Personal Communications , 1996
"... The goal of the Monarch Project 1 at Carnegie Mellon University is to develop networking protocols and protocol interfaces to allow truly seamless wireless and mobile host networking. The scope of our efforts includes protocol design, implementation, performance evaluation, and usage-based validati ..."

. Our work will enable mobile hosts to communicate with each other and with stationary or wired hosts, transparently making the most efficient use of the best network connectivity available to the mobile host at any time. To this end, the networking protocols must support adaptive operation in a number

Adaptive Data Broadcast in Hybrid Networks

by Konstantinos Stathatos, Nick Roussopoulos, John S. Baras - In Proceedings of the 23rd VLDB Conference , 1997
"... With the immense popularity of the Web,the world is witnessing an unprecedented demand for data services. At the same time, the Internet is evolving towards an information super-highway that incorporates a wide mixture of existing and emerging communication technologies, including wireless, mobile, ..."

Cross-layer congestion control, routing and scheduling design in ad hoc wireless networks

by Lijun Chen, Steven H. Low, Mung Chiang, John C. Doyle - PROC. IEEE INFOCOM , 2006
"... This paper considers jointly optimal design of crosslayer congestion control, routing and scheduling for ad hoc wireless networks. We first formulate the rate constraint and scheduling constraint using multicommodity flow variables, and formulate resource allocation in networks with fixed wireless ..."

We then generalize the aforementioned results to a general model of queueing network served by a set of interdependent parallel servers with time-varying service capabilities, which models many design problems in communication networks

Low-Complexity Video Coding for Receiver-Driven Layered Multicast

by Steven Mccanne, Martin Vetterli, Van Jacobson - IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications , 1997
"... In recent years, the "Internet Multicast Backbone," or MBone, has risen from a small, research curiosity to a largescale and widely used communications infrastructure. A driving force behind this growth was the development of multipoint audio, video, and shared whiteboard conferencing appl ..."

Because these real-time media are transmitted at a uniform rate to all of the receivers in the network, a source must either run at the bottleneck rate or overload portions of its multicast distribution tree. We overcome this limitation by moving the burden of rate adaptation from the source

The network society is the social structure characteristic of the Information Age, as tentatively identi ed by empirical, cross-cultural investigation. It permeates most societies in the world, in v ..."
