A relative newcomer to the field of wireless communications, ad hoc networking is growing
quickly, both in its importance and its applications. With rapid advances in hardware …

MPEG-4 and H. 263 encoded video is expected to account for a large portion of the traffic in
future wireline and wireless networks. However, due to a lack of sufficiently long frame size …

High latency and loss rates in the Internet make it difficult to stream audio and video without
introducing a large playback delay. To address these problems, we propose a prefix caching …

There is much experimental evidence that network traffic processes exhibit ubiquitous
properties of self-similarity and long-range dependence, ie, of correlations over a wide …

In networks that support quality of service, an admission control algorithm determines
whether or not a new traffic flow can be admitted to the network such that all users will …

Variable-bit-rate (VBR) compressed video can exhibit significant multiple-time-scale bit-rate
variability. In this paper we consider the transmission of stored video from a server to a client …

VBR compressed video is known to exhibit significant, multiple-time-scale bit rate variability.
In this paper, we consider the transmission of stored video from a server to a client across a …

In recent years the significance of Gaussian processes to communication networks has
grown considerably. The inherent flexibility of the Gaussian traffic model enables the …

Measurement-based admission control (MBAC) is an attractive mechanism to concurrently
offer quality of service (QoS) to users, without requiring a priori traffic specification and on …

The transfer of prerecorded, compressed variable-bit-rate video requires multimedia
services to support large fluctuations in bandwidth requirements on multiple time scales …
