RFID and Wireless Sensing

Off late, the demand of markets to use active transponders, is reaching a saturation point. The main reason is because these ones get its power from batteries, which must be periodically replaced or recharged. This increases the final costs (maintenance + management), but contrarily to the passive transponders, theirs advantage...

A Multiconstrained QoS Aware Scheduler for Class-Based IP Networks

This paper presents a modular scheduler with powerful semantics able to differentiate simultaneously multiple QoS metrics in class-based IP networks. In opposition to traditional scheduling mechanisms, this scheduler encompasses rate, loss and delay differentiation capabilities in a flexible way. This behaviour stems from new relative and mixed differentiation models able...
