Abstract
This technical overview outlines some key network research issues, and differentiates the features of wireless networks and the services that they will support. As the Internet becomes ubiquitously delivered on mobile platforms, new approaches to wireless networking that build upon the advances of wireline networks and cellular system design will be required.

System and method for design, tracking, measurement, prediction and optimization of data communication networks

TL;DR: In this paper, a system and method for design, tracking, measurement, prediction and optimization of data communications networks includes a site specific model of the physical environment, and performs a wide variety of different calculations for predicting network performance using a combination of prediction modes and measurement data.
Patent

System, method, and apparatus for determining and using the position of wireless devices or infrastructure for wireless network enhancements

TL;DR: In this paper, a system and method for estimating the position of wireless devices within a wireless communication network combines measured RF channel characteristics for the wireless device with one or more predicted performance lookup tables, each of which correlates an RF channel characteristic to some higher order network performance metric and/or a position within an environmental model.
Patent

System and method for indicating the presence or physical location of persons or devices in a site specific representation of a physical environment

TL;DR: In this article, a system and method for providing security to a wireless communication system having wireless communication components positioned at different locations within a physical environment are provided, including an access point and a network device, where an indicator is presented in the site-specific representation on the display when an erroneous authentication request or other undesired transmission is received by the network device or the access point.
Patent

System and method for efficiently visualizing and comparing communication network system performance

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a method for visualizing and efficiently making comparisons of communication system performance using predicted or measured performance, or other performance data sets (Steps 200-260).
Journal ArticleDOI

Downlink scheduling for multiclass traffic in LTE

TL;DR: The numerical results demonstrate that queue- and channel-aware QoS schedulers can and should be used in an LTE downlink to offer QoS to a diverse mix of traffic, including delay-sensitive flows.

The capacity of wireless networks

TL;DR: When n identical randomly located nodes, each capable of transmitting at W bits per second and using a fixed range, form a wireless network, the throughput /spl lambda/(n) obtainable by each node for a randomly chosen destination is /spl Theta/(W//spl radic/(nlogn)) bits persecond under a noninterference protocol.

RTP: A Transport Protocol for Real-Time Applications

TL;DR: RTP provides end-to-end network transport functions suitable for applications transmitting real-time data over multicast or unicast network services and is augmented by a control protocol (RTCP) to allow monitoring of the data delivery in a manner scalable to large multicast networks.

Congestion avoidance and control

TL;DR: The measurements and the reports of beta testers suggest that the final product is fairly good at dealing with congested conditions on the Internet, and an algorithm recently developed by Phil Karn of Bell Communications Research is described in a soon-to-be-published RFC.
