- Opportunistic Fair Scheduling Over Multiple Wireless Channels
- Emerging spread spectrum high-speed data networks utilize multiple channels via orthogonal codes or frequency-hopping patterns such that multiple users can transmit concurrently. In this paper, a framework is developed for opportunistic scheduling over multiple wireless channels. With a realistic channel model, any subset of users can be selected for data...

- Power Efficient Broadcast Scheduling With Delay Deadlines
- This paper presents a framework for the design of minimal power schedulers that satisfy average packet delay bounds for multiple users in a Gaussian wireless broadcast channel. The authors completely characterize the achievable region in the multidimensional delay-power space, and present schedulers that achieve the boundary regions. The optimal schedulers...

- Bayesian Blind Parafac Receivers for DS-CDMA Systems
- This paper proposes a new Bayesian blind detection/identification algorithm for CDMA system in presence of spatial diversity at the receiver. Such algorithm provides good performance even for short frame length (typically, 10 symbol periods) and for large system load. Furthermore, simulation results show that the proposed method is close to...

- pathChirp: Efficient Available Bandwidth Estimation for Network Paths
- This paper presents pathChirp, a new active probing tool for estimating the available bandwidth on a communication network path. Based on the concept of "Self-induced congestion," pathChirp features an exponential flight pattern of probes one calls a chirp. Packet chips offer several significant advantages over current probing schemes based on...

- TCP-PARIS: A Parallel Download Protocol for Replicas
- Parallel download protocols have the potential to reduce file download time and to achieve a server-side load balancing in replica systems, such as peer-to-peer networks, content distribution networks and mirrored servers, by simultaneously establishing connections to multiple replicas and downloading disjoint file parts in parallel. This paper presents TCP-PARIS, a...

- Analysis of Decision-Feedback Based Broadband OFDM Systems
- In wireless communications, about 25%of the bandwidth is dedicated to training symbols for channel estimation. By using a semi-blind approach, the training sequence length can be reduced while improving performance. The principle is as follows: the detected symbols hard decision are fed back to the channel estimator in order to...
