- 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...

- Damage Control for Network Applications
- For all systems, one of the most important evaluation criteria is, or should be, security. With code complexity increasing by the minute, all are forced to accept that software contains bugs, flaws, some of which can be exploited for malicious purposes. To reduce, or eliminate the threat posed by these...

- Load Balancing by Distributed Optimisation in Ad Hoc Networks
- This paper approaches the problem of load balancing for wireless multihop networks by distributed optimisation. As an example of a distributed optimisation algorithm for ad hoc networks, an approximation algorithm is used for minimising the maximum network congestion and implements it as a modification of the DSR routing protocol. The...

- Vocabulary Decomposition for Estonian Open Vocabulary Speech Recognition
- Speech recognition in many morphologically rich languages suffers from a very high Out-Of-Vocabulary OOV ratio. Earlier work has shown that vocabulary decomposition methods can practically solve this problem for a subset of these languages. This paper compares various vocabulary decomposition approaches to open vocabulary speech recognition, using Estonian speech recognition...

- Optimizing Firewall Performance
- Firewalls are one key factor in network performance. If they can't process their rules fast enough then the whole network slows down. Firewalls are also required part in every network so special attention must paid to their packet matching algorithms which are studied in this paper along with other rule...

- 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...
