Game-theoretic approaches have been previously employed in the research area of network
security in order to explore the interaction between an attacker and a defender during a …

The IEEE 802.11 e standard introduces Quality of Service support for wireless local area
networks through two MAC functions: Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) and …

This letter proposes a cross-layer extension of the CSMA/CA protocol used in the Power-line
Communications standard HomePlug-AV. Its main goal is to allocate more bandwidth to …

Ubiquity of IP has led to IP-based rural telemedicine systems. However, IP by default is
designed to offer best effort packet delivery services. The IP best effort delivery services and …

The use of Voice over Wireless Local Area Network is seeing a meteoric rise in popularity as
a result of its simplicity, non-intrusiveness, and cheap cost of implementation, as well as its …

Aiming at an efficient use of the channels available in the wireless spectrum, cognitive radio
networks (CRNs) allow users to adapt to the environment by reusing the existing spectrum …

The quality of service of many modern communication systems depends on the delay
performance of the underlying network. In digital subscriber line (DSL) networks, for …

Computer network attacks are difficult to simulate due to the damage they may cause to live
networks and the complexity required simulating a useful network. We constructed a …

This thesis covers two parts:(I) the analysis of the end-to-end delay and delay variation of a
strict priority scheduler for a particular combination of traffic inputs, and (II) cross-layer …

Abstract WFQ (Weighted Fair Queuing) provides not only fairness among traffic flows in
using bandwidth but also guarantees the Quality of Service (QoS) that individual flow …
