Owing to the growing proliferation of machine type communication devices and other high‐end devices in conventional human‐to‐human (H2H) communication, it is inevitable that these types of communications will co‐exist with each other in the next ...

The multi‐radio–multi‐channel wireless mesh networks (MRMC WMNs) have attracted much attention due to their low cost, reliable coverage, stable topology, and so forth. Load balancing among gateways (GWs) is a challenging task in MRMC WMNs. The GW nodes ...

Manufacturing enterprises are facing the challenges of productivity improvement, product and process quality management due to the lack of data interaction and manufacturing process traceability. In modern factory, number of machineries are pipelined ...

In order to make efficient use of the benefits of smart grid, meeting the security objectives of the network seems an essential requirement. Implementation of authentication protocols on the communication among the nodes of the network plays an important ...

Many embedded real-time systems have dynamic computation workloads to interact with physical processes. Combining imprecise computation and run-time mode change provides both flexible and effective computation outcomes. However, it requires complex ...

Caching in mobile networks can reduce the redundant data transmission and cope with the challenge of the explosive growth of mobile data traffic. It has been considered as a promising technology in 5G networks and has been attracting a lot of attention in ...

Fog computing paradigm is emerging after a decade's dominance of cloud‐based system design and architecture. Now, instead of centralising the computation and coordination to remote services, these are deployed and distributed to all over physical ...

The deployment of billions of machine‐to‐machine (M2M) devices is expected to have an enticing effluence in cellular networks. Data aggregation is an attractive scheme to decrease power consumption; however, it introduces longer delay to the aggregated ...

60‐GHz millimetre‐wave (mm‐wave) communication is gradually becoming a promising candidate for the next generation wireless system to meet the demands of mobile applications. To compensate for high path loss, directional links are established in mm‐wave ...

Enhanced IP (EnIP) offers a solution to the problem of IPv4 address depletion without replacing IPv4, as IPv6 does, but by building on top of IPv4, maximizing backward compatibility. An experimental EnIP deployment between nodes at the University of ...

RINA is a very promising internetwork architecture based on the fundamental patterns presented in the "Patterns in Network Architecture" book. This paper describes the rationale, major design choices and implementation of a RINA prototype over UDP/IP. ...

Data distribution and access are major issues in space sciences as they influence the degree of data exploitation. The project "Space-Data Routers" (SDR) has the aim of allowing space agencies, academic institutes and research centres to share space ...

The scalability limitations of BGP have been a major concern lately. An important aspect of this issue is the rate of routing updates (churn) that BGP routers must process. This paper presents an analysis of the evolution of churn in four networks at ...

This paper puts forth a straw man proposal for future diverse internets. Guided by a principle that we call Align-and-Decouple (AD), our AD protocol architecture design calls for lightweight transport protocols that allow for decoupled operation of ...

We claim that Delay-Tolerant Networking has the potential to form an internetworking overlay that shapes traffic in a manner that exploits the capacity of last hop wireless channels and allows for energy-efficient internetworking. We demonstrate DTN ...

Healthcare organizations must test their network infrastructures for disaster recovery and emergency mode operations, yet most can't afford to operate the complicated protocols needed for safe testing. The Rapid Adjustable Network architecture offers a ...

The paper chiefly introduces the apparatus of intelligent blood-collect based on internetworking. The apparatus uses fingerprint identifying technology to distinguish the identity of the operator and barcode technology to input the information of the ...

Challenges face the Internet Architecture in order to scale to a greater number of users while providing a suite of increasingly essential functionality, such as multi-homing, traffic engineering, mobility, localised addressing and end-to-end packet-...

This paper defines and evaluates Path Exploration Damping (PED) - a router-level mechanism for reducing the volume of propagation of likely transient update messages within a BGP network and decreasing average time to restore reachability compared to ...
