A heterogeneous wired and wireless network architecture is considered for home networks to support Internet Protocol TV (IPTV), voice, and data, the so-called triple-play services. To satisfy the quality of service (QoS) requirements for different traffic classes, class-based queueing (CBQ) is deployed at home gateways and routers. To estimate the network capacity and decide on an appropriate r...

With the advances of wireless communication technologies, wireless networks gradually become themost adopted communication networks in the new generation Internet. Computing devices and mobile devices may be equipped with multiple wired and/or wireless network interfaces. Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) has been proposed for reliable data transport and its multihoming feature makes ...

Wired and wireless access networks continue to evolve toward higher-capacity, multi-service systems. Recent wireless broadband networks such as 3G LTE and WiMax provide a general-purpose IP platform with over-the-top services at the application layer, which is similar to the design of wired IP platform networks. This paper examines whether wired and wireless access networks are likely to conver...

A wireless mesh network (WMN) is a networking paradigm, which enables inexpensive peer wireless network nodes to relay frames from one node to another by leveraging the broadcast nature of wireless medium. Essentially, WMN facilitates to cost-effectively and quickly extend a wired network by creating multiple topologically diversified wireless connections between peer nodes. This feature ABSTRACT

The key idea proposed in this paper is to determine the optimal congestion window for a TCP sender in a particular network scenario (that corresponds to the fair share of that connection) and keep this congestion window a constant to a point where the fair share in the network has changed considerably from the instance of the calculation of the size of the last window. At this point, the TCP co...

The Parallel computers, such as multiprocessors system-on-chip (Mp-SoCs), multicomputers and cluster computers are consisting of hundreds or thousands multiple processing units and components (such as routers, channels and connectors) connected via some interconnection network that collectively may undergo high failure rates. Normally, the faulty components are coalesced into fault regions, whi...

We study the optimal routing on multilayered communication networks, which are composed of two layers of subnetworks. One is a wireless network, and the other is a wired network. We develop a simple recurrent algorithm to find an optimal routing on this kind of multilayered network, where the single-channel transmission mode and the multichannel transmission mode used on the wireless subnetwork...

Radical differences in channel characteristics coupled with endnode mobility make wireless networking sufficiently different from wired networking. Unfortunately, under current implementations of most operating systems a local area wireless network is treated as "just-another-wired-network" and is exposed to the higher layer networking protocols, operating system, and applications as an Etherne...

Sensor networks consist of a set of sensor nodes which are spread over a geographical area. These nodes are able to perform processing as well as sensing and are additionally capable of communicating with each other [1]. Topology control is one primary challenge in these scenarios. Unlike the wired networks that typically have fixed network topologies, each sensor node in a sensor network can p...

The hybrid (Optical-Wireless broadband) network with the backbone as optical networks, Passive Optical Networks (PON), and wireless access networks have been proposed to provide good Quality of service (QoS). A Dynamic network solution for adopting both wired and wireless networking methods need to be updated. A Multicast based network coding technique is introduced for improving total network ...
