Although IEEE 802.11p technology is standardized for road safety and efficiency applications, the channel congestion problem is its key weakness necessitating distributed congestion control (DCC) algorithms on different layers of the communication stack. In this paper, we propose DCC-enabled Contention based Forwarding scheme targeting multi-hop dissemination of Decentralised Event Notification Messages...
Distributed teams are geographically separated and may need to rely on networked communication technologies (e.g., audio or video conference, email) to mediate their interaction. A limitation of these networked communication technologies is that they generate transmission delays that result from network congestion or routing issues. For the purposes of this research we focus on verbal communication...
In real-time multicast, delay and inter-destination delay variation of group members are bounded above by a value. The problem is known as Delay and Delay Variation Bounded Multicast Tree (DVBMT), which is proven to be NP-complete. In this paper, we propose a directional approach (DCS) for core selection and tree generation satisfying delay and inter-destination delay variation constraints. After...
A mobile adhoc network is an independent system of mobile stations associated by wireless link to form a system. This system can be modeled in the form of an uninformed graph. Adhoc networks are peer to peer, multihope networks were data packets are transmitted to a source to destination through intermediate nodes (which serve as router). The infrastructure is not the main issue to setup MANET and...
Reversible logic is one of the emerging computational methodologies which assures zero power dissipation through theoretical laws of thermodynamics. It has received significant interest in application on quantum computing, nanotechnologies and low power computing devices. In this work, we present a reversible logic implementation for Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) adder which is designed to obtain lowest...
In two-tier heterogeneous cellular networks (HCN) where small cells are deployed overlaid with macro cells, base station (BS) association is one of the fundamental problems, which becomes even more challenging when the small cell BSs are connected to the gateways via imperfect backhaul links, e.g. using wireless technologies. In this paper, we first analyze the mean packet delay in radio access and...
In this study, the effect of pure synchronous and asynchronous transmission delay was examined in an interactive videotelephony setting. It was found that the conversational quality rated by participants of the study was clearly dependant on the tested conditions. This outcome can to some extend be ascribed to the used task which facilitated the usage of the visual channel for social interaction....
Delay has been found as one of the most crucial factors determining the Quality of Experience (QoE) in synchronous video-mediated communication. The effect has been extensively studied for dyadic conversations and recently the study of small group communications has become the focus of the research community. Contrary to dyads, in which the delay is symmetrically perceived, this is not the case for...
We provide an improved bound for the expectation of the stationary delay under the maximum weight scheduling (MWS) policy in one-hop wireless networks. In the model, the interference of the links is characterized by an interference graph G=(V, E). For a vector μ ∊ R|V|+, let χf (G, μ) be the weighted fractional coloring number for the graph G under the weight vector μ. For an arrival rate vector λ...
The proliferation of cloud services makes virtualization technology more important. One important feature of virtualization is live Virtual Machine (VM) migration, which can be employed to facilitate load balancing, fault management and server maintenance etc. Two main metrics of evaluating a live VM migration mechanism are total migration time and downtime. The existing literature on live VM migration...
To create a portal to transfer knowledge may seem easy. However, our experience shows that, in order for a user to accept the learning portal as their primary source of knowledge, a lot of attention to detail is necessary in how the content and interface is built. In order for users to accept a learning portal and to use it as their primary source of knowledge, not only must the content be arranged...
In this paper we introduce a distributed channel change framework that utilizes a dedicated server and session peers to support the fast channel change process. Support peers represent the prior choice to deliver the channel change packets to the zapping users. The dedicated server, which we refer to as the Channel Switch Coordinator (CSC), is essentially responsible for the coordination of the channel...
This paper addresses the H∞-stability of linear fractional systems with multiple commensurate delays, including those with poles asymptotic to the imaginary axis. The asymptotic location of the neutral chains of poles are obtained, followed by the determination of conditions that guarantee a finite H∞ norm for those systems with all poles in the left half-plane of the complex plane.
This paper discusses a new method to describe movements by fuzzy predictors and to design new open loop fuzzy controllers, for multilinked vehicles or mobile robots, using constant step approximators to model complex maneuvers with delays that vary with the robot's configuration. The “Wang & Mendel” technique for automatic modeling is tested and an ad hoc heuristic is proposed to fulfils the deficiencies...
Publish/Subscribe system is an asynchronous and multi-point communication system, which decouples communication space from communication time and control flow completely. It adapts well to highly dynamic network environments and data-centric networks. This paper presents an Opportunistic Networks based Message Publish/Subscribe Scheme (ONMPSS), which can calculate the number of subscription requests...
In realistic scenarios an agent should not assume that the effects of its action are immediate. However, behavior networks have not previously been designed to model this, but rather have assumed that all effects are immediate. In this paper we introduce effect delay time and time-discounting into the decision making module of our agent architecture. We describe the previous emotional behavior network,...
In this paper, a coordinated decentralized state-feedback model reference adaptive control with a sliding mode is developed for a class of large-scale systems with time-varying delays in the nonlinear interconnections. The design procedure is based on the concept of reference model coordination. A novel decentralized controller parametrization that is robust to unknown information exchange delays...
This paper proposes modified input shaping algorithm to improve settling time of stage which is closely related with productivity in flat panel display. The modified input shaping uses the s curve velocity command to convolve with impulse, which is called s curve input shaping, while conventional input shaping uses the trapezoidal velocity command. Since the s curve velocity command is including the...
The issue of delay identification for autonomous nonlinear systems is addressed in this work. Using sliding modes control methods it is first proven that the estimation goal can be fulfilled by finding the global norm minimizer of an infinite dimensional mapping. This result is then exploited to design, under different assumptions on the system's knowledge, both a finite-time and an asymptotically...
In this paper, we investigate the performance of FAST TCP under perturbation imposed queueing delay in equilibrium in dumbbell networks. We derive the transfer functions of the delay perturbation to the FAST TCP congestion window, queueing delay, and throughput. By using the transfer functions, the effects of impulse, step, and ramp delay perturbation on the congestion window, queueing delay, and...
