Time vs. Truth: Age-Distortion Tradeoffs and Strategies for Distributed Inference

In 1948, Claude Shannon laid the foundations of information theory, which grew out of a study to find the ultimate limits of source compression, and of reliable communication. Since then, information theory has proved itself not only as a quest to find the ...

Analysis of Dampers in Time-Sensitive Networks With Non-Ideal Clocks

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Ehsan Mohammadpour

Dampers are devices that reduce delay jitter in the context of time-sensitive networks, by delaying packets for the amount written in packet headers. Jitter reduction is required by some real-time applications; beyond this, dampers have the potential to so ...

Destination buffer analysis for packets rejection obliteration in multi-channel networks

Georgia Fragkouli

In this paper we study a multi-channel network, each station of which is equipped with a network interface that has a receiver buffer of multiple packets. In this way, each station is able to receive multiple packets per time instant. We adopt a synchronou ...

Retroactive Packet Sampling for Traffic Receipts

Pavlos Nikolopoulos, Adrian Perrig, Christos Pappas

Is it possible to design a packet-sampling algorithm that prevents the network node that performs the sampling from treating the sampled packets preferentially? We study this problem in the context of designing a "network transparency" system. In this syst ...

A Theory of Traffic Regulators for Deterministic Networks With Application to Interleaved Regulators

Jean-Yves Le Boudec

We introduce Pi-regulation, a new definition of traffic regulation which extends both the arrival curves of network calculus and Chang's max-plus g-regulation, and also includes new types of regulation, such as packet rate limitations. We provide a new exa ...
