Near-Optimal Load Balancing in Dense Wireless Multi-Hop Networks
This paper considers the load balancing problem in wireless multi-hop networks. In the limit of a dense network, there is a strong separation between the macroscopic and microscopic scales, and the load balancing problem can be formulated as finding continuous curves ("Routes") between all source-destination pairs that minimize the maximum...

Using Artificial Intelligence in Intrusion Detection Systems
Artificial Intelligence could make the use of Intrusion Detection Systems a lot easier than it is today. They could learn the preferences of the security officers and show the kind of alerts first that the officer has previously been most interested. As always, the hardest thing with learning AIs, is...

Load Balancing by Distributed Optimisation in Ad Hoc Networks
This paper approaches the problem of load balancing for wireless multihop networks by distributed optimisation. As an example of a distributed optimisation algorithm for ad hoc networks, an approximation algorithm is used for minimising the maximum network congestion and implements it as a modification of the DSR routing protocol. The...

Optimizing Firewall Performance
Firewalls are one key factor in network performance. If they can't process their rules fast enough then the whole network slows down. Firewalls are also required part in every network so special attention must paid to their packet matching algorithms which are studied in this paper along with other rule...

Multi-Model Security Associations in Personal Networks
The first connect between unknown devices is one of the most security critical phases of the communication in personal networks. Many existing security configuration mechanisms have been vulnerable against passive eavesdropping or active man-in-the-middle attacks or have been ignored by users as too cumbersome. Consequently, attackers have been able to...

Performance of TCP on Low-Bandwidth Wireless Links With Delay Spikes
This paper models the goodput of a single TCP source on a wireless link experiencing sudden increases in RTT, i.e., delay spikes. Such spikes trigger spurious timeouts that reduce the TCP goodput. Renewal reward theory is used to derive a straightforward expression for TCP goodput that takes into account limited...

Jamming Resistant Architecture for WiMAX Mesh Network
The paper presents a jamming resistant architecture for military applications of WiMAX (802.16) mesh network. The main idea is to use multiple Base Stations BS, access points to the fixed core network. This will facilitate network survivability both in case of BS destruction and in case of jamming. When the...

An Interpolation-Based Frequency-Synchronization Scheme for OFDM Systems
The mismatch of the oscillators in the transmitter and receiver, or Doppler shift, introduces an offset in the expected carrier frequency. In orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing OFDM systems, this frequency offset causes large errors in the signal values and therefore it is important to minimize this offset. This paper proposes an...
