In this paper, we present a routing and channel assignment protocol for multi-channel multi-hop wireless networks. We consider a multi-hop network, where a mobile host may connect to an access point using multi-hop wireless routes, via other mobile hosts or wireless routers. Also, we consider a multi-channel network where multiple non-overlapping (orthogonal) channels are available, and each ho...

Bluetooth is an open specification for a technology to enable short-range wireless communications that operate in an ad hoc fashion. Bluetooth uses frequency hopping with a slot length of 625 ms. Each slot corresponds to a packet and multi-slot packets of three or five slots can be transmitted to enhance the transmission efficiency. However, the use of multi-slot packet may degrade the transmis...

We argue for the benefit of designing deep generative models through a mixedinitiative, co-creative combination of deep learning algorithms and human specifications, focusing on multi-channel music composition. Sequence models have shown convincing results in domains such as summarization and translation; however, longer-term structure remains a major challenge. Given lengthy inputs and outputs...

We present a structural model of consumer trust in a multi-channel retailer. The model was developed on a sample of 1048 consumers who responded to a questionnaire linked to the website of a large German multi-channel retailer. The study identifies perceived privacy concerns as the strongest influence on trust in the e-shop, followed by perceived reputation and perceived size of the offline sto...
