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

Yunus Inan

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 ...

Improved Delay Bound for a Service Curve Element with Known Transmission Rate

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Eleni Stai, Ehsan Mohammadpour

Network calculus is often used to prove delay bounds in deterministic networks, using arrival and service curves. We consider a FIFO system that offers a rate-latency service curve and where packet transmission occurs at line rate without pre-emption. The ...

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 ...

Exploiting the Path Propagation Time Differences in Multipath Transmission with FEC

Maciej Kurant

We consider a transmission of a delay-sensitive data stream (e. g., a video call) from a single source to a single destination. The reliability of this transmission may suffer from bursty packet losses - the predominant type of failures in today's Internet ...

Optimizing TCP Receive Performance

Aravind Menon, Willy Zwaenepoel

The performance of the networking stack in an operating system depends on the overhead incurred by two of its components: the per-byte overhead incurred in data-touching operations, and the per-packet overhead of protocol processing and other operating sys ...

An Energy Detection Receiver Robust to Multi-User Interference for IEEE 802.15.4a Networks

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Ruben Merz, Manuel Flury

Energy-detection receivers are appealing to IEEE 802.15.4a low data-rate networks because of their low complexity. With a reasonable energy consumption, these receivers can exploit the ranging capabilities and multipath resistance of impulse-radio UWB (IR- ...

Interference management in impulse-radio ultra-wide band networks

Ruben Merz

We consider networks of impulse-radio ultra-wide band (IR-UWB) devices. We are interested in the architecture, design, and performance evaluation of these networks in a low data-rate, self-organized, and multi-hop setting. IR-UWB is a potential physical la ...

An Analysis of Finite-Memory Random Linear Coding on Packet Streams

Christina Fragouli

We consider the following packet coding scheme: The coding node has a fixed, finite memory in which it stores packets formed from an incoming packet stream, and it sends packets formed from random linear combinations of its memory contents. We analyze the ...
