Communication Networks--The center of the information revolution High performance networks are revolutionizing our lives in ways we cannot yet fully perceive. Meet your evolving needs with this in-depth presentation of emerging technologies used to build high speed, high performance communication networks. Authoritatively written, it explains how the converging telephone, data, and CATV technologies are combined into high performance networks, and how to plan, manage, and control these networks. An essential guide for networking professionals This book is well suited for a variety of networking needs. It enables network specialists and system administrators to make informed decisions for implementing and maintaining their companies' networks. It supplies network hardware and software developers with the tools to develop networking solutions, and it provides students in electrical engineering, computer science, operations research, and industry courses with a substantial introduction to networking principles. Features Explains the principles of network design and operation, and their implementation in state-of-the-art technologies such as Internet, high speed LANs and WANs, ISDN, ATM, BISDN, and SONET. Combines the perspectives of the communications engineer, the computer scientist and the economist to provide a system-level understanding of the core networking principles and technologies. Presents essential tools for analyzing, designing, and managing high performance networks. Provides unique coverage of economic issues including cost recovery and pricing schemes. Includes up-to-date coverage of delays, losses, admission control, routing, flow control, switching, networkplanning, pricing, and billing.read more

Localization of Unknown Networked Radio Sources Using a Mobile Robot with a Directional Antenna
TL;DR: This paper proposes a particle filter-based localization algorithm that combines a new CSMA model and a new directional antenna model and shows that the algorithm can localize unknown networked radio sources effectively.

A CAC algorithm for VBR Connections over a VBR Trunk
TL;DR: Preliminary results show that the use of VBR trunks makes it possible to aggregate a number of connections into one without sacrificing bandwidth efficiency.

A CAC algorithm for VBR connections over a VBR trunk
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an algorithm for connection admission control (CAC) in the case where connections are of the variable bit rate (VBR) type and the trunk carrying the multiplexed VBR connections is itself a VBR connection.

A model predictive control approach to networked systems
TL;DR: It is shown that the non-convexity feature of this class of networked control systems rules out piecewise affine controllers that are designable for linear convex problems, Nevertheless, controller design is still feasible due to the special nature of the data transmission strategy.

Smith's predictor for congestion control in TCP Internet protocol
TL;DR: An algorithm for congestion control in high-speed Internet using a Smith predictor is designed and leads to a simple generalization of the today's TCP congestion control algorithm by using a generalized advertised window (GAW).

Stability in Competition
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that if the purveyor of an article gradually increases his price while his rivals keep theirs fixed, the diminution in volume of his sales will in general take place continuously rather than in the abrupt way which has tacitly been assumed.
