Machine-to-machine communications has emerged to provide autonomic communications for a wide variety of intelligent services and applications.
In wireless packet data systems such as Enhanced General Packet Radio Service (EGPRS), selective ARQ is sued for error recovery over the radio link.
Radio Link Control (RLC) protocols are typically employed for reliable in-sequence delivery of SDUs in wireless packet data systems.
Whether or not voice calls of traditional quality can be supported between two users connected to an IP backbone via satellite access systems depends largely on the mouth-to-ear delay, an important
A key function of cloud infrastructure is to store and deliver diverse files, e.g., scientific datasets, social network information, videos, etc.
One of t h e classic results in t h e study of telephone traffic is the formula for delay given by the Danish engineer A. K. Erlang 1 in 1917.
Optical fibers have assumed considerable importance for potential use as transmission media wherever wire pairs or coaxials are now used.
Recent results1 indicate that glass fibers are a potential transmission medium for optical communication.
We introduce a novel scheme that flexibly distributes the differential delays in virtual concatenation (VCAT) paths in SONET/SDH networks.
Let us suppose t h a t in the time interval ( 0 , » ) calls appear before a single t r u n k line at times n , t 2 , · · · , r,, , · · · where the interarrival times Tn -- T n -i (w = 1, 2, · · · ;
