The focus of this report has been to establish a common communication medium through which a higher number of services can be integrated in a cheap and efficient manner. Namely, the report advocates the adoption of layer 2 connectivity between customers on a network as a way to multiplex up the number of services that a network can maintain. Emulating Layer 2 services across a common packet net...

The advances in understanding complex networks have generated increasing interest in dynamical processes occurring on them. Pattern formation in activator-inhibitor systems has been studied in networks, revealing differences from the classical continuous media. Here we study pattern formation in a new framework, namely multiplex networks. These are systems where activator and inhibitor species ...

We show that three basic actor characteristics, namely normalized reciprocity, three cycles, and triplets, can be expressed using an unified framework that is based on computing the similarity index between two sets associated with the actor: the set of her/his friends and the set of those considering her/him as a friend. These metrics are extended to multiplex networks and then computed for tw...

Pure neuritic leprosy involves single or multiple nerves, often in different limbs (mononeuritis multiplex); however, it may rarely present with symmetrical distal neuropathy, referred to as “mononeuritis multiplex summation.”

Device to device (D2D) communication technology is the main component of future communication, which greatly improves utilization spectrum resources. However, in D2D subscriber multiplex network, interference between links serious and system performance degraded. Traditional resource allocation schemes need a lot channel information when dealing with problems system, have weak dynamic capabilit...

A multihop, wavelength division multiplex (WDM)-based network, BanyanNet, is proposed for the realization of terabit lightwave networks. BanyanNet can be considered as the bi-directional equivalent of the popular ShuueNet. Exploiting its represenation, we developed a fast, decentralized, bi-directional routing algorithm for BanyanNet. The performance of BanyanNet is compared with that of the Sh...

We investigate cascade dynamics in thresholdcontrolled (multiplex) propagation on random geometric networks. We find that such local dynamics can serve as an efficient, robust, and reliable prototypical activation protocol in sensor networks in responding to various alarm scenarios. We also consider the same dynamics on a modified network by adding a few long-range communication links, resultin...

Because of the coexistence of multiplex tactical data links (TDLs) it is urgent to study the cooperation of Multi-Net-Multi-Link (MNML) TDL. This paper proposes a Multi-Channel-Multi-MAC (MCMM) model architecture to support MNML TDL simulation. The MCMM model adds several copies of data link layer, network interface and channel which are capable to cover the configurations of multi-channel and ...
