- Positioning Technique of Wireless LAN Terminals Using RSSI Between Terminals
- The IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN spreads very widely. The wireless VoIP technologies will accelerate spreading. In the environment in which almost all people take along their own wireless terminal, location information of terminals can be used as them of persons, and can support human collaborative work. The user focuses on...

- Resolving 802.11 Performance Anomalies Through QoS Differentiation
- It was recently shown that 802.11b MAC has an "Anomaly" that the throughput of high bit-rate terminals in good channel condition is down-equalized to that of the lowest bit-rate peer in the network. This paper analytically proves that the phenomenon can be cleanly resolved through configuring the initial contention window...

- Optimizing IEEE 802.11 DCF Using Bayesian Estimators of the Network State
- The optimization mechanisms proposed in the literature for the Distributed Coordination Function DCF of the IEEE 802.11 protocol are often based on adapting the backoff parameters to the estimate of the number of competing terminals in the network. However, existing estimation algorithms are either inaccurate or too complex. This paper...

- Secure Mobile Computing Via Public Terminals
- The rich interaction capabilities of public terminals can make them more convenient to use than small personal devices, such as smart phones. However, the use of public terminals to handle personal data may compromise privacy. This paper presents a system that enables users to access their applications and data securely...

- They don't all really need laptops, do they?
- I've been getting this question a lot lately from administrators, parents, and taxpayers. The question isn't malicious, but rather comes from folks with a vested interest in making sure that our technology dollars directly benefit students. Does giving teachers laptops directly benefit students? For people who aren't...
