Performance Evaluation of TCP over Wireless Channel Conditions

by Ritesh Taank, X. -h. Peng
"... (WLANs) is challenging the original design of TCP. The wireless channel is very different to traditional copper media; wireless channels possess significantly higher bit error rates (BERs), conditions which lead to increased numbers of random packet losses. The fundamental problem is that TCP is una ..."

An Efficient Digital Watermarking Scheme for Dynamic Estimation of Wireless Channel Condition

by Santi P. Maityl, Malayk. Kundu
"... This paper investigates the scope of an unconventional use of digital watermarking principle to blindly assess the quality of the multimedia signals through dynamic esti-mation of the status of the wireless channel. An algorithm of a fragile watermarking technique is proposed for digi-tal image that ..."

Versatile Low Power Media Access for Wireless Sensor Networks

by Joseph Polastre, Jason Hill, David Culler , 2004
"... We propose B-MAC, a carrier sense media access protocol for wireless sensor networks that provides a flexible interface to obtain ultra low power operation, effective collision avoidance, and high channel utilization. To achieve low power operation, B-MAC employs an adaptive preamble sampling scheme ..."

The capacity of wireless networks

by Piyush Gupta, P. R. Kumar - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INFORMATION THEORY , 2000
"... When n identical randomly located nodes, each capable of transmitting at bits per second and using a fixed range, form a wireless network, the throughput @ A obtainable by each node for a randomly chosen destination is 2 bits per second under a noninterference protocol. If the nodes are optimally p ..."
