- OpenXUP - An Alternative Approach to Developing Highly Interactive Web Applications
- This paper presents an alternative approach to creating highly interactive web user interfaces. The approach is based on the Extensible User Interface Protocol XUP, a SOAP-based protocol for communicating events and incremental user interface updates on the web. On top of XUP, it has built a web user interface development...

- Server Policies for Interactive Transmission of 3D Scenes
- This paper considers an interactive client-server application for remote browsing of 3D scenes. The information about texture and geometry is available at server side in the form of scalably compressed images and depthmaps, corresponding to a multitude of original image views. Image and depth components are both open to augmentation...

- The Peak Factor of a 16-QAM/OFDM System
- The close relationship between the peak factor of a QPSK/OFDM system and the one from a 16-QAM/OFDM system is presented and analyzed. It is shown that a 16- QAM/OFDM system shows larger peaks and is more difficult to analyze unless use is made of some results that relate both schemes...

- Characterising Wireless LAN Transmission Characteristics
- Wireless signals are omni directional in nature, and thus the environment in which wireless signals propagate may ultimately hinder network transmissions, resulting in an increase of lost and erroneous packets. An understanding of what produces these irregularities is essential due to their effect on network throughput, protocol design and in...

- Low Latency Multimedia Broadcast in Multi-Rate Wireless Meshes
- In a multi-rate wireless network, a node can dynamically adjust its link transmission rate by switching between different modulation schemes. For the current IEEE802.11a/b/g standards, this rate adjustment is limited to unicast traffic only while multicast and broadcast traffic is always transmitted at the lowest possible rate. This paper considers...

- Service Differentiation in Wireless LANs Based on Capture
- This paper investigates the effects of using a dual transmission power scheme for Quality-of-Service QoS differentiation in IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs. By setting hosts to transmit at different power levels, the paper enhances the likelihood that a high-power frame gets received correctly when a collision involving frames from both power...

- The Impact of Random Waypoint Mobility on Infrastructure Wireless Networks
- This paper reports the impact of the Random Waypoint model on infrastructure wireless networks that utilise multi-rate scheme. The Waypoint model causes a higher concentration of nodes near the centre of the mobility area. As a consequence of this, the paper shows that a wireless network could appear to achieve...
