On the Scalability and Capacity of Planar Wireless Networks With Omnidirectional Antennas
White Paper Scalability of wireless networks has been an important research topic in the recent years, because of the growing demand to support a large number of nodes in certain types of wireless networks such as sensor networks, which can potentially... [11 Jul 2008]
Firewalls and Virtual Private Networks
White Paper This paper will discuss the issue of security in remote access networks. The paper will consider how security is applied in remote access networks. In particular, it will discuss how firewalls are used to protect corporate resources from outside... [10 Jul 2008]
Hybrid Flexible Neural-Tree-Based Intrusion Detection Systems
White Paper An intrusion is defined as a violation of the security policy of the system, and, hence, intrusion detection mainly refers to the mechanisms that are developed to detect violations of system security policy. [05 Jul 2008]
Solving Noise Problems
White Paper York: John Wiley & Sons, 1988). This white paper describes common causes of noise and suggests ways to reduce or eliminate noise problems. Noise problems are best handled in the design process, before they occur. [03 Feb 2008]
TCP Hybla: A TCP Enhancement for Heterogeneous Networks
White Paper In heterogeneous networks, TCP connections that incorporate a terrestrial or satellite radio link are greatly disadvantaged with respect to entirely wired connections, because of their longer round trip times (RTTs). [14 Jan 2008]
Steady State and Transient State Behaviors Analyses of TCP Connections Considering Interactions Between TCP Connections and Network
White Paper The Internet uses a window-based congestion control mechanism in TCP (Transmission Control Protocol). In the literature, there have been a great number of analytical studies on TCP. Most of those studies have focused on the statistical behavior of... [14 Jan 2008]
Maximising Single Connection TCP Goodput by Trading Bandwidth for BER
White Paper All other conditions being equal, the end-to-end throughput of a TCP connection depends on the packet loss rate at the IP level. This is an issue when IP runs on a wireless link, where the bit error rate is variable and typically much higher than... [14 Jan 2008]
Survivable IP Network Design With OSPF Routing
White Paper Internet protocol (IP) traffic follows rules established by routing protocols. Shortest path-based protocols, such as Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), direct traffic based on arc weights assigned by the network operator. [11 Jan 2008]
Modelling of Wireless TCP for Short-Lived Flows
White Paper The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is one of the most important Internet protocols. It provides reliable transport services between two end-hosts. Since TCP performance affects overall network performance, many studies have been done to model... [26 Dec 2007]
Managing Energy Consumption Costs in Desktop PCs and LAN Switches With Proxying, Split TCP Connections, and Scaling of Link Speed
White Paper A growing expense and impact of the Internet is its energy use. Current estimates are that 2% of electricity consumption in the USA goes to powering the Internet. In Germany it is estimated that energy consumption by IT equipment will be between 2... [05 Dec 2007]
Special Issue: Radio Link and Transport Protocol Engineering for Future-Generation Wireless Mobile Data Networks
White Paper The emergence of wireless packet data applications (e.g.wireless web access, interactive and real-time mobile multimedia applications, wireless interactive gaming, and client/server applications) is the key driver for the evolution of future... [07 Sep 2007]
Virtual Base Stations for Wireless Mobile Ad Hoc Communications: An Infrastructure for the Infrastructure-Less
White Paper This paper proposes a new protocol for wireless mobile ad hoc networks, which establishes a dynamic wireless mobile infrastructure. The proposed protocol, namely, the Virtual Base Stations (VBS) protocol, mimics and maintains the operation of the... [31 Aug 2007]
Multiple Robust Track-Following Controller Design in Hard Disk Drives
White Paper This paper presents a new technique for track-following control in hard disk drives, in order to achieve high tracking precision of magnetic read-write heads uniformly for a huge number of disk drives. [25 Aug 2007]
Special Issue: Radio Link and Transport Protocol Engineering for Future-Generation Wireless Mobile Data Networks
White Paper The emergence of wireless packet data applications (e.g.wireless web access, interactive and real-time mobile multimedia applications, wireless interactive gaming, and client/server applications) is the key driver for the evolution of future... [17 Aug 2007]
A Reliable Congestion Control Mechanism for Geocasting in Mobile Wireless Networks
White Paper This paper presents a reliable congestion control mechanism for geocasting in mobile wireless networks. The protocol can be used as an extension to conventional multicasting protocols in order to overcome the problems associated with terminal... [20 Jul 2007]
