State-of-the-art in Power Line Communications: from the Applications to the Medium
Cristina Cano, Alberto Pittolo, David Malone +3
In recent decades, power line communication has attracted considerable attention from the research community and industry, as well as from regulatory and standardization bodies. In…
Rigorous and Practical Proportional-fair Allocation for Multi-rate Wi-Fi
Paul Patras, Andres Garcia-Saavedra, David Malone +1
Recent experimental studies confirm the prevalence of the widely known performance anomaly problem in current Wi-Fi networks, and report on the severe network utility degradation c…
Modeling, Analysis and Impact of a Long Transitory Phase in Random Access Protocols
Cristina Cano, David Malone
In random access protocols, the service rate depends on the number of stations with a packet buffered for transmission. We demonstrate via numerical analysis that this state-depend…
On Efficiency and Validity of Previous Homeplug MAC Performance Analysis
Cristina Cano, David Malone
The Medium Access Control protocol of Power Line Communication networks (defined in Homeplug and IEEE 1901 standards) has received relatively modest attention from the research com…
On the Distributed Construction of a Collision-Free Schedule in WLANs
Jaume Barcelo, Azadeh Faridi, Boris Bellalta +2
In wireless local area networks (WLANs), a media access protocol arbitrates access to the channel. In current IEEE 802.11 WLANs, carrier sense multiple access with collision avoida…
Policing 802.11 MAC Misbehaviours
P. Patras, H. Feghhi, D. Malone +1
With the increasing availability of flexible wireless 802.11 devices, the potential exists for users to selfishly manipulate their channel access parameters and gain a performance…
