This paper proposes a distributed framework for demand response and user adaptation in
smart grid networks. In particular, we borrow the concept of congestion pricing in Internet …

Modern communication networks are able to respond to randomly fluctuating demands and
failures by adapting rates, by rerouting traffic and by reallocating resources. They are able to …

We describe ways in which the transmission control protocol of the Internet may evolve to
support heterogeneous applications. We show that by appropriately marking packets at …

This paper uses a variety of mathematical models to explore some of the consequences of
rapidly growing communications capacity for the evolution of the Internet. It argues that …

In this paper we consider a power allocation problem in multi-class wireless systems. We
focus on the downlink of the system. Each mobile has a utility function that characterizes its …

We describe how a packet network with a simple pricing mechanism and no connection
acceptance control may be used to carry a telephony-like service with low packet loss and …

In infrastructure-less sensor networks, efficient usage of energy is very critical because of the
limited energy available to the sensor nodes. Among various phenomena that consume …

This paper describes a framework for admission control for a packet-based network where
the decisions are taken by edge devices or end-systems, rather than resources within the …

Pricing is one of the biggest challenges of the next generation of the Internet. Even if flat rate
pricing is probably one of the main reasons of the Internet success, the only way to prevent …

A method and system for avoiding network congestion by measuring network load to adjust
a rate at each source. The load (eg, as a price value) is provided to network traffic sources …
