Receiver-driven Layered Multicast

by Steven McCanne, Van Jacobson, Martin Vetterli , 1996
"... State of the art, real-time, rate-adaptive, multimedia applications adjust their transmission rate to match the available network capacity. Unfortunately, this source-based rate-adaptation performs poorly in a heterogeneous multicast environment because there is no single target rate — the conflicti ..."

— the conflicting bandwidth requirements of all receivers cannot be simultaneously satisfied with one transmission rate. If the burden of rate-adaption is moved from the source to the receivers, heterogeneity is accommodated. One approach to receiver-driven adaptation is to combine a layered source coding algorithm

Energy-efficient communication protocol for wireless microsensor networks

by Wendi Rabiner Heinzelman, Anantha Chandrakasan, Hari Balakrishnan , 2000
"... Wireless distributed microsensor systems will enable the reliable monitoring of a variety of environments for both civil and military applications. In this paper, we look at communication protocols, which can have significant impact on the overall energy dissipation of these networks. Based on our f ..."

findings that the conventional protocols of direct transmission, minimum-transmission-energy, multihop routing, and static clustering may not be optimal for sensor networks, we propose LEACH (Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy), a clustering-based protocol that utilizes randomized rotation of local

Distributed space-time-coded protocols for exploiting cooperative diversity in wireless networks

by J. Nicholas Laneman, Gregory W. Wornell - IEEE TRANS. INF. THEORY , 2003
"... We develop and analyze space–time coded cooperative diversity protocols for combating multipath fading across multiple protocol layers in a wireless network. The protocols exploit spatial diversity available among a collection of distributed terminals that relay messages for one another in such a m ..."

manner that the destination terminal can average the fading, even though it is unknown a priori which terminals will be involved. In particular, a source initiates transmission to its destination, and many relays potentially receive the transmission. Those terminals that can fully decode the transmission

Cooperative diversity in wireless networks: efficient protocols and outage behavior

by J. Nicholas Laneman, David N. C. Tse, Gregory W. Wornell - IEEE TRANS. INFORM. THEORY , 2004
"... We develop and analyze low-complexity cooperative diversity protocols that combat fading induced by multipath propagation in wireless networks. The underlying techniques exploit space diversity available through cooperating terminals’ relaying signals for one another. We outline several strategies ..."

Ariadne: a secure on-demand routing protocol for ad hoc networks," in

by Yih-Chun Hu , Adrian Perrig , David B Johnson - Proc. 8th ACM International Conf. Mobile Computing Networking , , 2002
"... Abstract An ad hoc network is a group of wireless mobile computers (or nodes), in which individual nodes cooperate by forwarding packets for each other to allow nodes to communicate beyond direct wireless transmission range. Prior research in ad hoc networking has generally studied the routing prob ..."

Effective Erasure Codes for Reliable Computer Communication Protocols

by Luigi Rizzo , 1997
"... Reliable communication protocols require that all the intended recipients of a message receive the message intact. Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) techniques are used in unicast protocols, but they do not scale well to multicast protocols with large groups of receivers, since segment losses tend to b ..."

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 ..."

relatively few proposals for W-LANs. In this paper we present a rate adaptive MAC protocol called the Receiver-Based AutoRate (RBAR) protocol. The novelty of RBAR is that its rate adaptation mechanism is in the receiver instead of in the sender. This is in contrast to existing schemes in devices like

Explicit Allocation of Best-Effort Packet Delivery Service

by David D. Clark, et al. , 1998
"... This paper presents the “allocated-capacity” framework for providing different levels of best-effort service in times of network congestion. The “allocatedcapacity” framework—extensions to the Internet protocols and algorithms—can allocate bandwidth to different users in a controlled and predictable ..."

ExOR: Opportunistic Multi-Hop Routing for Wireless Networks

by Sanjit Biswas, Robert Morris - in SIGCOMM , 2005
"... This paper describes ExOR, an integrated routing and MAC protocol that increases the throughput of large unicast transfers in multi-hop wireless networks. ExOR chooses each hop of a packet’s route after the transmission for that hop, so that the choice can reflect which intermediate nodes actually r ..."
