However, the route selection may not always result in a best choice in terms of end-to-end path performance. Instead of having an AS to monitor all possible paths, we argue that it is much more effective and beneficial for a number of neighboring ASes to cooperate in the path measurement. In this paper, we present a neighbor-cooperative measurement system in which each participating AS conducts measurement using their current routes for the same set of remote endpoints. A collation of the measurement results can help identify and correct poor routes, compare different providers' network services, and diagnose network performance problems. We report measurement results from an actual deployment involving eight neighboring universities for over a year.","PeriodicalId":6448,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM 2010","volume":"84 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83868846","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 power loading solution is designed to minimize the energy-per-goodbit (EPG) of the MIMO-SVD system. The optimum power loading obtained by solving a nonlinear fractional program, has a closed-form expression and is found by applying a water-filling procedure. It is observed that the optimum total transmit power (water level) depends not only on the MIMO channel realization, but also on the ratio of circuit power cost (which depends on the number of antennas) to transmit power cost (which depends on path loss and other factors). We study the statistical performance (using simulation) of the solution in Rayleigh and Rician flat-fading channels. Using outage EPG as a measure of performance, we determine the MIMO configuration (from a set of allowed configurations) that yields the minimum outage EPG. It is observed that the average number of spatial subchannels utilized (which indicates preference for diversity or multiplexing) depends on the ratio of circuit power cost to transmit power cost and fading type (Rayleigh or Rician). For both cases, the results show that both multiplexing and diversity obtained by MIMO systems are critical for energy efficiency.","PeriodicalId":6448,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM 2010","volume":"2 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83950077","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}

While increasing the voltage level of a single cell is fast and simple, reducing the level of a cell requires the erasing of the entire block containing the cell. Since block erasures are costly, traditional flash coding schemes have been developed to maximize the number of writes before a block erasure is needed. A novel coding scheme based on error-correcting codes allows the cell levels to increase as evenly as possibly and as a result, increases the number of writes before a block erasure. The scheme is also capable of combating noise in flash memories in order to enhance data reliability.","PeriodicalId":6448,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM 2010","volume":"10 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83991292","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}

This unfairness results from the fact that different physical nodes conveying TCP flows at a wireless bottleneck may have different channel observations and consequently they may provide inconsistent feedbacks to the TCP sources. Existing solutions to this problem try to synchronize channel observations of contending nodes by exchanging control messages among them. They rely on the assumption that these nodes are within each other''s transmission range, which however may not always hold. In this paper, we propose a new approach, called Wireless Probabilistic Drop (WPD), to improve TCP fairness without requiring direct communication among nodes. In WPD, when a node detects congestion, it probabilistically chooses to either drop some packets to resolve the congestion, or aggressively spread the congestion signal to other contending nodes. Each node makes the choice with a probability that is proportional to its flow rate. Henceforth, high-rate flows tend to perform rate reduction more often, and low-rate flows are more likely to increase their flow rates. Eventually, all flows passing the bottleneck are expected to get a fair share of the channel bandwidth. Extensive simulations in ns-2 demonstrate that WPD can significantly improve fairness among TCP flows across multiple contending WLANs.","PeriodicalId":6448,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM 2010","volume":"21 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82866990","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}

This has led to, for example, the design of tree-based structure for delivering data over multiple hops to reach the sink. In this paper, a novel lifetime extending heuristic (MLC-X) is proposed for tree-based multi-level clustered wireless sensor network. Duties of nodes at bottlenecks in tree are modified for sustaining longer network lifetime.

Based on ping series of both home and international paths, we find the 2-order correlation of delay series is analysis scale, path, and (collection) time dependent: may be biscaling or even multiscaling, persistent or anti-persistent. In addition, we observe that delay series may be multifractal at both fine and coarse scales.

The modified receiver is also very flexible in controlling the level of error protection in the system.

It has been demonstrated in previous published works that access waiting time is a random sum of random variables with the same distribution but random mean. Therefore, the computational complexity for the numerical evaluation of the access waiting time probability distribution increases exponentially with the size of the buffer and the number of coverage regions. In order to reduce the computational complexity, the use of negative exponential distribution is proposed to approximate the whole access waiting time distribution for certain conditions of traffic load. Moreover, an efficient way to calculate its parameter through the Little's theorem is proposed. A more general approach is based on the central limit theorem (CLT). In particular, it considers that the conditional access waiting time of a service request queued in the a given position can be adequately approximated by a Gaussian distribution. The proposed approximation approaches are numerically evaluated and compared against the exact mathematical analysis in terms of the cumulative distribution function. Numerical results show that the maximum percentage error between the both approximated CDFs is smaller than 10% relative to the exact analysis under certain conditions.","PeriodicalId":6448,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM 2010","volume":"13 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86791640","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}
