User cooperation diversitypart I: System description

by Andrew Sendonaris, Elza Erkip, Behnaam Aazhang - IEEE Trans. Commun , 2003
"... Abstract—Mobile users ’ data rate and quality of service are limited by the fact that, within the duration of any given call, they experience severe variations in signal attenuation, thereby necessitating the use of some type of diversity. In this two-part paper, we propose a new form of spatial div ..."

Cooperative strategies and capacity theorems for relay networks

by Gerhard Kramer, Michael Gastpar, Piyush Gupta - IEEE TRANS. INFORM. THEORY , 2005
"... Coding strategies that exploit node cooperation are developed for relay networks. Two basic schemes are studied: the relays decode-and-forward the source message to the destination, or they compress-and-forward their channel outputs to the destination. The decode-and-forward scheme is a variant of ..."

channel knowl-edge is available at the transmitters, and cases where local user co-operation is permitted. The results further extend to multisource and multidestination networks such as multiaccess and broadcast relay channels.

Distributed Computing in Practice: The Condor Experience

by Douglas Thain, Todd Tannenbaum, Miron Livny , 2005
"... Since 1984, the Condor project has enabled ordinary users to do extraordinary computing. Today, the project continues to explore the social and technical problems of cooperative computing on scales ranging from the desktop to the world-wide computational Grid. In this paper, we provide the history a ..."

Free Riding on Gnutella

by Eytan Adar, Bernardo A. Huberman , 2000
"... this paper, Gnutella is no exception to this finding, and an experimental study of its user patterns shows indeed that free riding is the norm rather than the exception. If distributed systems such as Gnutella rely on voluntary cooperation, rampant free riding may eventually render them useless, as ..."

A Measurement Study of Peer-to-Peer File Sharing Systems

by Stefan Saroiu , P. Krishna Gummadi, Steven D. Gribble , 2002
"... The popularity of peer-to-peer multimedia file sharing applications such as Gnutella and Napster has created a flurry of recent research activity into peer-to-peer architectures. We believe that the proper evaluation of a peer-to-peer system must take into account the characteristics of the peers th ..."

Napster and Gnutella. In particular, our measurement study seeks to precisely characterize the population of end-user hosts that participate in these two systems. This characterization includes the bottleneck bandwidths between these hosts and the Internet at large, IP-level latencies to send packets

Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing

by Charles E. Perkins, Elizabeth M. Royer - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE 2ND IEEE WORKSHOP ON MOBILE COMPUTING SYSTEMS AND APPLICATIONS , 1997
"... An ad-hoc network is the cooperative engagement of a collection of mobile nodes without the required intervention of any centralized access point or existing infrastructure. In this paper we present Ad-hoc On Demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV), a novel algorithm for the operation of such ad-hoc n ..."

Implementation issues in spectrum sensing for cognitive radios

by Danijela Cabric, Shridhar Mubaraq Mishra, Robert W. Brodersen - in Proc. the 38th. Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems, and Computers , 2004
"... Abstract- There are new system implementation challenges involved in the design of cognitive radios, which have both the ability to sense the spectral environment and the flexibility to adapt transmission parameters to maximize system capacity while co-existing with legacy wireless networks. The cri ..."
