The HTTP protocol allows both compression and caching, benefiting both servers (in terms of bandwidth requirements and lighter load) and clients (in terms of faster downloads). In this paper, we investigate some of the top-ranking websites within New Zealand to see how well they are setup for network performance. We find a surprisingly large number of sites that are not well-setup to cater for compression and caching. We see that simple tuning of these servers to take advantage of compression and caching will enable better use of the network bandwidth. Though this study is limited to New Zealand, similar analysis could be made of other servers irrespective of their location.","PeriodicalId":236844,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2011 IEEE Pacific Rim Conference on Communications, Computers and Signal Processing","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127255350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, since these methods do not take into account the Internet group management protocol (IGMP) load on multicast routers, the number of IGMP packets will increase significantly, which will cause network instability. To investigate the effect of IGMP load, we performed a preliminary experiment that revealed that a multicast router does not work properly when it receives bursts of IGMP packets. To decrease the IGMP load as well as shortening the channel change time, we propose a multicast group aggregation method. Through simulation experiments, we show the effectiveness of the method.","PeriodicalId":236844,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2011 IEEE Pacific Rim Conference on Communications, Computers and Signal Processing","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122524681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We consider a network which consists of two secondary transceivers and K cognitive relay nodes and a primary network with a transmitter and receiver, all equipped with single-antenna. For effective use of spectrum we propose a two-step two-way relaying for cognitive relay networks. Our aim is to design the beamforming coefficients for a bidirectional cognitive relay network through interference minimization approach subject to two constraints on each transceiver QoS which is solved using convex optimization. Our simulation results demonstrate that our distributed relay beamforming scheme improve network performance significantly so that the interference power is decreased by increasing the number of relay nodes while QoS of the secondary network is guaranteed.","PeriodicalId":236844,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2011 IEEE Pacific Rim Conference on Communications, Computers and Signal Processing","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122788890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The non-line of sight (NLOS) communication channel is modelled as non-frequency selective double or cascaded Rayleigh distributed. Cooperative relaying with amplify and forward (AF) protocol is used to improve the overall system performance. System performance is investigated in two sets. In the first case, the source (S) to destination (D) direct link is double Rayleigh distributed. The relay (R) or access point is assumed to be located above rooftop level and the cooperative links are flat Rayleigh faded. In the second case, both the direct and cooperative links are considered double Rayleigh faded. Modelling and simulations are used to evaluate overall performance in conditions, when the cooperative link is uncorrelated, partially correlated and completely correlated with the direct link.","PeriodicalId":236844,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2011 IEEE Pacific Rim Conference on Communications, Computers and Signal Processing","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122955876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With a little extra hardware cost, the resultant circuit can detect online any single-bit errors. Experimental results show that the proposed technique can achieve an improvement of up to 58% in quantum cost and 99% in garbage outputs in average, compared to the previous work.","PeriodicalId":236844,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2011 IEEE Pacific Rim Conference on Communications, Computers and Signal Processing","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116879157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The second class uses standby interface nodes. This paper provides performance comparison of HINs in terms of network degree, diameter, cost and packing density. The outcome of this study shows that the Root-Folded Heawood (RFH) and the Flooded Heawood (FloH) provide the best network cost, defined as the product of network diameter and degree.

Although it has a good performance in pixel domain, it does not have any improvements in transform domain, since pre-defined quantization matrices are not compatible with the Wyner-Ziv residual coding.

As per our knowledge, such method to evaluate natural phrases in multiple XML documents does not exist. In this paper, we propose a new method to evaluate phrase queries.

OpenFlow architecture is a promising technology for flexible switching and routing to achieve this. In OpenFlow networks, OpenFlow switches can change their action on the basis of header information of an incoming packet. This allows to control traffic flows on the basis of various routing granularities such as destination IP address, TCP connection, etc. While a fine-grained control can increase routing optimality, its control overhead may decrease the communication performance. In this paper, therefore, the impact of routing granularity on communication performance is investigated through simulation evaluations. The results suggest dynamic changes in the routing granularity be considered for efficient traffic control.","PeriodicalId":236844,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2011 IEEE Pacific Rim Conference on Communications, Computers and Signal Processing","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121189271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
