- Near-Optimal Load Balancing in Dense Wireless Multi-Hop Networks
- This paper considers the load balancing problem in wireless multi-hop networks. In the limit of a dense network, there is a strong separation between the macroscopic and microscopic scales, and the load balancing problem can be formulated as finding continuous curves ("Routes") between all source-destination pairs that minimize the maximum...

- Multi-Model Security Associations in Personal Networks
- The first connect between unknown devices is one of the most security critical phases of the communication in personal networks. Many existing security configuration mechanisms have been vulnerable against passive eavesdropping or active man-in-the-middle attacks or have been ignored by users as too cumbersome. Consequently, attackers have been able to...

- Performance of TCP on Low-Bandwidth Wireless Links With Delay Spikes
- This paper models the goodput of a single TCP source on a wireless link experiencing sudden increases in RTT, i.e., delay spikes. Such spikes trigger spurious timeouts that reduce the TCP goodput. Renewal reward theory is used to derive a straightforward expression for TCP goodput that takes into account limited...

- An Interpolation-Based Frequency-Synchronization Scheme for OFDM Systems
- The mismatch of the oscillators in the transmitter and receiver, or Doppler shift, introduces an offset in the expected carrier frequency. In orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing OFDM systems, this frequency offset causes large errors in the signal values and therefore it is important to minimize this offset. This paper proposes an...
