Exponential Collapse Of Social Beliefs Over Weakly-Connected Heterogeneous Networks

Ali H. Sayed, Augusto José Rabelo Almeida Santos

We consider a distributed social learning problem where a network of agents is interested in selecting one among a finite number of hypotheses. The data collected by the agents might be heterogeneous, meaning that different sub-networks might observe data ...

Network utility maximization for delay-sensitive applications in unknown communication settings

Stefano D'Aronco

In the last decades the Internet traffic has greatly evolved. The advent of new Internet services and applications has, in fact, led to a significant growth of the amount of data transmitted, as well as to a transformation of the data type. As a matter of ...

How CSMA/CA With Deferral Affects Performance and Dynamics in Power-Line Communications

Patrick Thiran, Julien Pierre Sacha Herzen, Christina Vlachou

Power-line communications (PLC) are becoming a key component in home networking, because they provide easy and high-throughput connectivity. The dominant MAC protocol for high data-rate PLC, the IEEE 1901, employs a CSMA/CA mechanism similar to the backoff ...

Hierarchical Routing Over Dynamic Wireless Networks

Suhas Diggavi, Matthias Grossglauser

The topology of a mobile wireless network changes over time. Maintaining routes between all nodes requires the continuous transmission of control information, which consumes precious power and bandwidth resources. Many routing protocols have been developed ...

Random Access With Physical-Layer Network Coding

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Jasper Goseling

We consider a physical-layer network coding strategy for the random-access channel, based on compute-and-forward. When packets collide, it is possible to reliably recover a linear combination of the packets at the receiver. Over many rounds of transmission ...

On the MAC for Power-Line Communications: Modeling Assumptions and Performance Tradeoffs

Patrick Thiran, Julien Pierre Sacha Herzen, Christina Vlachou

Power-line communications are becoming a key component in home networking. The dominant MAC protocol for high data-rate power-line communications, IEEE 1901, employs a CSMA/CA mechanism similar to the backoff process of 802.11. Existing performance evaluat ...

Performance Analysis of MAC for Power-Line Communications

Patrick Thiran, Julien Pierre Sacha Herzen, Christina Vlachou

We investigate the IEEE 1901 MAC protocol, the dominant protocol for high data rate power-line communications. 1901 employs a CSMA/CA mechanism similar to – but much more complex than – the backoff mechanism of 802.11. Because of this extra complexity, and ...

Cooperative Relaying at Finite SNR-Role of Quantize-Map-and-Forward

Christina Fragouli, Ayan Sengupta, I-Hsiang Wang

This paper contributes to the design and analysis of Quantize-Map-and-Forward (QMF) relaying by optimizing its performance for small relay networks. QMF was proved to achieve the capacity of arbitrary networks within a bounded gap, as well as the optimal d ...

On the Asymptotic Validity of the Decoupling Assumption for Analyzing 802.11 MAC Protocol

Jean-Yves Le Boudec

Performance evaluation of the 802.11 MAC protocol is classically based on the decoupling assumption, which hypothesizes that the backoff processes at different nodes are independent. This decoupling assumption results from mean field convergence and is gen ...

Potentials of Opportunistic Routing in Energy-Constrained Wireless Sensor Networks

Martin Vetterli, François Ingelrest

The low quality of wireless links leads to perpetual packet losses. While an acknowledgment mechanism is generally used to cope with these losses, multiple retransmissions nevertheless occur. Opportunistic routing limits these retransmissions by taking adv ...

Performance Evaluation of Impulse Radio UWB Networks using Common or Private Acquisition Preambles

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Ruben Merz

For impulse-radio ultra-wide band (IR-UWB) networks without global synchronization, the first step for correct packet reception is packet detection and timing acquisition: Before recovering the payload of the packet, the destination must detect that the pa ...

Effect of 802.11 Adaptive Exponential Backoffs on the Fluidity of Downlink Flows in Mesh Networks

Patrick Thiran, Adel Aziz

Efficient multihop traffic management is a need for successful Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) deployment. Using an analogy with fluid mechanism, we classify a flow as laminar if the packets flow smoothly from the Wired Access Point (WAP) over the mesh netwo ...
