Routing in communication networks involves the indirection from a persistent name (or ID) to
a locator and delivering packets based upon the locator. In a large-scale, highly dynamic …

Structural change and uncertainty are fundamental properties of an ad hoc network, making
it difficult to develop communication strategies, ie, network-level approaches to transport …

Available network information is an important factor in determining network performance. In
this paper, we study the basic limits on the amount of network information that should be …

As networking attempts to cleanly separate the control plane and forwarding plane
abstractions, it also defines a clear interface between these two layers. An underlying …

In this paper, we extend an information-theoretic approach for characterizing the minimum
cost of tracking the motion state information, such as locations and velocities, of nodes in …

This paper presents an analytical model for quantifying the control overhead of proactive
routing protocols in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs). In particular, the lower bound on the …

In this paper, we use rate distortion theory to investigate the overhead-performance tradeoff
for relay selection in cooperative communications. Existing research is usually highly …

Previous research has estimated the performance of wireless networks by assuming that
nodes in the network can obtain precise network information. However, in reality, available …

We study the performance of network-wide broadcasting as a function of the information
implicitly available at nodes from neighbourhood transmissions. We term this set of …

Network protocol performance is closely related to knowledge about the network state.
However, acquiring such knowledge expends network bandwidth resource. Thus a trade off …
