We present the design and implementation of Scepter, a system with explicit infrastructure support to reduce energy consumption and improve battery life of mobile devices. Scepter focuses on effective techniques that can reduce the total number of bits transmitted to communicate the same information from a mobile device to a base station. Scepter combines multiple techniques into a single unified...
Wireless losses play a significant role in determining the performance of many higher-layer protocols. Various measurement studies have presented results that explore the many facets of link behaviour. However, the results have often been contradictory. In the first half of the paper, we delve into understanding the underlying causes of losses and resolve two contradictions that appear in literature...
It is well known that a packet loss in 802.11 can happen either due to collision or an insufficiently strong signal. However, discerning the exact cause of a packet loss, once it occurs, is known to be quite difficult. In this paper we take a fresh look at this problem of wireless packet loss diagnosis for 802.11-based communication and propose a promising technique called COLLIE. COLLIE performs...
Network wide broadcasting is a fundamental operation in ad hoc networks. In broadcasting, a source node sends a message to all the other nodes in the network. In this paper, we consider the problem of collision-free broadcasting in ad hoc networks. Our objective is to minimize the latency and the number of transmissions in the broadcast. We show that minimum latency broadcasting is NP-complete for...
