Internet eXchange Points (IXPs) have significantly transformed the structure and economics of the Internet by allowing many nearby networks to connect directly, avoiding the need for service providers. These large IXPs are so beneficial that they are not ...

The radio range of backscatter systems continues growing as new wireless communication primitives are continuously invented. Nevertheless, both the bit error rate and the packet loss rate of backscatter signals increase rapidly with the radio range, ...

Multipath TCP (MPTCP) is a burgeoning transport protocol which enables the server to transmit the traffic across multiple network interfaces in parallel. Classic MPTCPs have good friendliness and practicality such as relatively low overhead, but are hard ...

Due to its simplicity and scalability, the Irregular Repetition Slotted ALOHA (IRSA) system that uses the successive interference cancellation (SIC) technique is a promising solution for uncoordinated multiple access of a massive number of Internet-of-...

This paper considers networks where user traffic is regulated through deterministic traffic profiles, e.g., token buckets, and requires cleanrequires guaranteed clean hard delay bounds. The network’s goal is to minimize the resources it needs to ...

This paper presents the design and implementation of HyLink which aims to fill the gap between limited link capacity of LoRa and the diverse bandwidth requirements of IoT systems. At the heart of HyLink is a novel technique named parallel Chirp Spread ...

We consider a generalized version of Carrier-Sense Multiple Access (CSMA), where the contention window size is a constant and the back-off probability distribution can be varied. We address the optimization of a weighted throughput metric, identifying the ...

Multi-homing technologies are promising to support seamless handoff and non-interrupted transmissions. Scheduling packets across multiple paths, however, has the known issue of out-of-order (OFO) due to the heterogeneity of the paths, which is detrimental ...

Age-Of-Information (AoI) is a metric that focuses directly on the application-layer objectives, and a canonical AoI minimization problem is the update-through-queues models. Existing results in this direction fall into two categories: The open-loop ...

We present the age control protocol ACP+, a transport layer protocol that regulates the rate at which update packets carrying information from a source are sent over the Internet to a monitor. The source would like to minimize the average age of ...

The rising crowdsourced live video streaming (CLVS) poses great challenges to Internet transport scalability, where a broadcaster’s live video is expected to reach thousands and even millions of viewers in real time. To accommodate such huge ...

Most current routing protocols are based on path computation algorithms in graphs (e.g., Dijkstra, Bellman-Ford, etc.). These algorithms have been studied for a long time and are very well understood, both in a centralized and distributed context, as long ...

The Internet Protocol (IP) is the most fundamental building block of the Internet. However, it provides no explicit notion of packet-level authenticity. Such a weakness allows malicious actors to spoof IP packet headers and launch a wide variety of ...

Traffic Matrix (TM), which records traffic volumes among network nodes, is important for network operation and management. Due to cost and operation issues, TMs cannot be directly measured and collected in real time. Therefore, many studies work on ...

Technological advancements have provided wireless links with very high data rate capacity for 5G/6G mobile networks and WiFi 6, which will be widely deployed by 2025. However, the capacity can have substantial fluctuations, violating the assumption at the ...

The utilization of blockchain technology as a distributed information sharing system has gained widespread adoption across various domains. However, its application to Flying Ad-Hoc Network (FANET), characterized by severe packet loss, poses significant ...

Delay-based congestion control has drawn a lot of attention in both academics and industry recently. Specifically, the Copa algorithm proposed in NSDI can achieve consistent high performance under various network environments and has already been deployed ...

The quantum network that allows users to communicate in a quantum way will be available in the foreseeable future. The network capable of distributing Bell state entangled pairs faces many challenges due to entanglement decoherence and limited network ...

With the increasing scale of communication networks, the likelihood of failures grows as well. Since these networks form a critical backbone of our digital society, it is important that they rely on robust routing algorithms which ensure connectivity ...

Quantum networks have emerged as a future platform for quantum information exchange and applications, with promising capabilities far beyond traditional communication networks. Remote quantum entanglement is an essential component of a quantum network. ...
