- Reliable Routing With QoS Guarantees for Multi-Domain IP/MPLS Networks
- This paper presents a distributed routing algorithm for finding two disjoint primary and backup QoS paths that run across multiple domains. The work is inspired by the recent interest in establishing communication paths with QoS constrains spanning multiple IP/MPLS domains. In such settings, the routing decisions in each domain are...

- Bounds on the Network Coding Capacity for Wireless Random Networks
- Recently, it has been shown that the max flow capacity can be achieved in a multicast network using network coding. This paper proposes and analyzes a more realistic model for wireless random networks. The authors prove that the capacity of network coding for this model is concentrated around the expected...

- A Framework for Building Collaboration Tools by Leveraging Industrial Components
- Groupware applications allow a distributed group of human users to work apart together over a computer network. They are difficult to develop due to the needs to suit a range of collaboration tasks that are often with diverse and evolutionary requirements. To address this problem, this paper proposes a new...

- Interdisciplinary Design Program at Texas A&M University: Implications for a Services Science Program
- Services Sciences, for which the product is a service to accomplish a given task for a customer, requires the concept of collaborative engineering, specifically the notion of interdisciplinary teams. Transitions to such environments involve investments by industry, in terms of training personnel, and by academia in terms of training future...

- Optimal Clock Synchronization Under Energy Constraints in Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks
- Clock synchronization is a crucial service in many distributed systems, including wireless ad-hoc networks. This paper studies external clock synchronization, in which nodes should bring their clocks close to the value of some external reference time, which is provided in the system by one or more source clocks. Reference Broadcast...

- On the Design of Robust Multiband OFDM Ultra-Wideband Receivers
- This paper analyzes the effects of NarrowBand Interferences NBI on the performance of a Multi-Band Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MB-OFDM) Ultra-WideBand UWB receiver and proposes efficient schemes for signal reception and extraction of information in the presence of NBI. A study to assess the effects of NBI on the quantization...

- A Blind Frequency Offset Estimator for OFDM/OQAM Systems
- Like other OFDM-like systems, OFDM/OQAM systems are very sensitive to carrier frequency offset. A new blind carrier frequency estimator is introduced herein for OFDM- /OQAM systems by exploiting the non-circularity of the received signal. Since the received signal exhibits conjugate cyclic frequencies at twice the carrier frequency offset, a frequency...

- Design of IRA Codes for Non-Coherent Detection With OFDM
- Irregular Repeat Accumulate IRA codes are a special class Of Low-Density Parity-Check LDPC codes which perform very close to capacity for memory-less channels with coherent detection. Further, they can be encoded and decoded in linear-time. This paper considers the design of a non-coherent Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing OFDM system for block...
