Fair Incentivization of Bandwidth Sharing in Decentralized Storage Networks

Verónica del Carmen Estrada Galiñanes

Peer-to-peer (p2p) networks are not independent of their peers, and the network efficiency depends on peers contributing resources. Because shared resources are not free, this contribution must be rewarded. Peers across the network may share computation po ...

Deficit Round-Robin: A Second Network Calculus Analysis

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Seyed Mohammadhossein Tabatabaee

Deficit Round-Robin (DRR) is a widespread scheduling algorithm that provides fair queueing with variable-length packets. Bounds on worst-case delays for DRR were found by Boyer et al., who used a rigorous network calculus approach and characterized the ser ...

Interleaved Weighted Round-Robin: A Network Calculus Analysis

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Seyed Mohammadhossein Tabatabaee

Weighted Round-Robin (WRR) is often used, due to its simplicity, for scheduling packets or tasks. With WRR, a number of packets equal to the weight allocated to a flow can be served consecutively, which leads to a bursty service. Interleaved Weighted Round ...

Unconventional time-bandwidth performance of resonant cavities with nonreciprocal coupling

Camille Sophie Brès, Davide Grassani, Ivan Cardea, Kosmas Tsakmakidis

The time-bandwidth limit is a mathematical tenet that affects all reciprocal resonators, stating that the product of the spectral bandwidth that can couple into a resonant system and its characteristic energy decay time is always equal to 1. Here, we devel ...

Arbitrarily high time bandwidth performance in a nonreciprocal optical resonator with broken time invariance

Camille Sophie Brès, Hatice Altug, Davide Grassani, Simon Julien Fabbri, Ivan Cardea, Kosmas Tsakmakidis

Most present-day resonant systems, throughout physics and engineering, are characterized by a strict time-reversal symmetry between the rates of energy coupled in and out of the system, which leads to a trade-off between how long a wave can be stored in th ...
