Threshold-Based Burst Assembly Policies for QoS Support in Optical Burst-Switched Networks

This paper proposes a threshold-based burst assembly scheme in conjunction with a burst segmentation policy to provide QoS in Optical Burst Switched OBS networks. Bursts are assembled at the network edge by collecting packets that have the same QoS requirements. Once the number of packets in a burst reaches a...

Optimally Combining a Cascade of Classifiers

Conventional approaches to combining classifiers improve accuracy at the cost of increased processing. This paper proposes a novel search based approach to automatically combine multiple classifiers in a cascade to obtain the desired tradeoff between classification speed and classification accuracy. The search procedure only updates the rejection thresholds (one for...

Experimental Analysis of Concurrent Packet Transmissions in Wireless Sensor Networks

This paper undertakes a systematic experimental study to analyze the effects of concurrent packet transmissions in wireless sensor networks. As expected, the measurements confirm that guaranteeing successful packet reception with high probability requires that the signal to interference plus noise ratio exceed a critical threshold. It also confirms that groups...
