Coding advantage refers to the potential for network coding to improve end-to-end throughput or reduce routing cost. How large can the coding advantage be? We investigate this fundamental question in the classic undirected network model. So far, all known networks where such potential exists are based on a special class of topologies known as combinatorial networks. We try to prove a rather small...
We consider the problem of exchanging packets from the individual queues at multiple wireless terminals with the assistance of a single relay node. In an earlier paper, we studied this for a backlogged traffic model, where each node always had packets to transmit. Here, we consider stochastically varying packet traffic and compare the stable operation under plain routing, and digital and analog network...
Conventionally, most network protocols assume that the network entities who participate in the network activities will always behave as instructed. However, in practice, most network entities are selfish: they will try to maximize their own benefits instead of altruistically contributing to the network by following the prescribed protocols. Thus, new protocols should be designed for the non-cooperative...
A principal factor in sensor network design is energy efficiency. In this work, we propose to extend the lifetime of sensor networks using appropriate choice of sensor node distribution. The key idea of our scheme is to deploy more nodes in areas of extensive energy usage. Using this scheme of sensor node distribution, we use probabilistic angular routing to route data packets from the sensor nodes...
