Analysis of Dampers in Time-Sensitive Networks With Non-Ideal Clocks

Dampers are devices that reduce delay jitter in the context of time-sensitive networks, by delaying packets for the amount written in packet headers. Jitter reduction is required by some real-time applications; beyond this, dampers have the potential to so ...

Lifelong dynamics of human CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells: Insights from in vivo data and mathematical modeling

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Irina Baltcheva

Despite their limited proliferation capacity, regulatory T cells (T(regs)) constitute a population maintained over the entire lifetime of a human organism. The means by which T(regs) sustain a stable pool in vivo are controversial. Using a mathematical mod ...

One Step Impulse Radio Ultra-WideBand Positioning Algorithm

Jean-Yves Le Boudec

We consider the problem of positioning estimation with impulse radio (IR) ultra-wideband (UWB) radio under dense multipaths and additive Gaussian noise environments. Most popular positioning algorithms first estimate certain parameters (such as time of arr ...

On the Validity of the Fixed Point Equation and Decoupling Assumption for Analyzing the 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. A necessary condition for the validity of this approach is the existence ...

Hardware-in-the-loop Validation of the Grid Explicit Congestion Notification Mechanism for Primary Voltage Control in Active Distribution Networks

Mario Paolone, Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Marco Pignati, Konstantina Christakou, Styliani Sarri, Roman Rudnik

The Grid Explicit Congestion Notification control mechanism (GECN) is a broadcast-based real-time demand- response mechanism designed for primary voltage control in Active Distribution Networks (ADNs) [1,2]. An extensive set of off-line simulations has ind ...

The Stationary Behaviour of Fluid Limits of Reversible Processes is Concentrated on Stationary Points

Jean-Yves Le Boudec

Assume that a stochastic process can be approximated, when some scale parameter gets large, by a fluid limit (also called mean field limit", or hydrodynamic limit"). A common practice, often called the ``fixed point approximation" consists in approxima ...

Dispatching Stochastic Heterogeneous Resources Accounting for Grid and Battery Losses

Mario Paolone, Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Fabrizio Sossan, Lorenzo Enrique Reyes Chamorro, Eleni Stai

We compute an optimal day-ahead dispatch plan for distribution networks with stochastic resources and batteries, while accounting for grid and battery losses. We formulate and solve a scenario-based AC Optimal Power Flow (OPF), which is by construction non ...

A Class Of Mean Field Interaction Models for Computer and Communication Systems

Jean-Yves Le Boudec

We consider models of N interacting objects, where the interaction is via a common resource and the distribution of states of all objects. We introduce the key scaling concept of intensity; informally, the expected number of transitions per object per time ...

FCR: Fast and Consistent Controller-Replication in Software Defined Networking

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Maaz Mashood Mohiuddin, Eleni Stai, Mia Primorac

We consider the problem of coordination among replicated SDN controllers, where the challenge is to ensure a consistent view of the network while reacting to network events in a prompt manner. Existing solutions are either consensus-based, which achieve co ...

Synchronization for Impulse-Radio UWB With Energy-Detection and Multi-User Interference: Algorithms and Application to IEEE 802.15.4a

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Ruben Merz

Energy-detection (ED) receivers can take advantage of the ranging and multipath resistance capabilities of impulse-radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) physical layers at a much lower complexity than coherent receivers. However, ED receivers are extremely vulnera ...

AntispamLab - A Tool for Realistic Evaluation of Email Spam Filters

Jean-Yves Le Boudec

The existing tools for testing spam filters evaluate a filter instance by simply feeding it with a stream of emails, possibly also providing a feedback to the filter about the correctness of the detection. In such a scenario the evaluated filter is disconn ...

Configuration of Guard Band and Offsets in Cyclic Queuing and Forwarding

Jean-Yves Le Boudec

Cyclic Queuing and Forwarding (CQF) is a mechanism defined by IEEE TSN for providing low jitter in a deterministic network. CQF uses a common time cycle and two buffers per node output port: during one cycle incoming packets are stored in one buffer while ...

AC OPF in radial distribution networks – Part I: On the limits of the branch flow convexification and the alternating direction method of multipliers

Mario Paolone, Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Dan-Cristian Tomozei, Konstantina Christakou

The optimal power-flow problem (OPF) has always played a key role in the planning and operation of power systems. Due to the non-linear nature of the AC power-flow equations, the OPF problem is known to be non-convex, therefore hard to solve. During the la ...

Experimental Comparison of Multicast Authentication for Wide Area Monitoring Systems

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Teklemariam Tsegay Tesfay

Multicast is proposed as a preferred communication mechanism for many power grid applications. One of the biggest challenges for multicast in smart grid is ensuring source authentication without violating the stringent time requirement. The research commun ...

A Two-Layered Anomaly Detection Technique Based on Multi-modal Flow Behavior Models

Jean-Yves Le Boudec

We present a novel technique to detect traffic anomalies based on network flow behavior in different traffic features. Based on the observation that a network has multiple behavior modes, we estimate the modes in each feature component and extract their mo ...

A Joint PHY/MAC Architecture for Low-Radiated Power TH-UWB Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Ruben Merz, Jörg Widmer

Due to environmental concerns and strict constraints on interference imposed on other networks, the radiated power of emerging pervasive wireless networks needs to be strictly limited, yet without sacrificing acceptable data rates. Pulsed Time-Hopping Ultr ...

Efficient Broadcasting Using Network Coding

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Christina Fragouli, Jörg Widmer

We consider the problem of broadcasting in an ad hoc wireless network, where all nodes of the network are sources that want to transmit information to all other nodes. Our figure of merit is energy efficiency, a critical design parameter for wireless net- ...
