- Downlink Multicell MIMO-OFDM: An Architecture for Next Generation Wireless Networks
- Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a multi-carrier transmission scheme that is well-recognized for it's potential for attaining high rate transmission over frequency selective channels. OFDM is thus a promising candidate for mobile broadband wireless and has already been adopted in many high rate wireless communications standards such as DAB/DVB-T,...

- Enforcing Application-Level Security in Modern Operating Systems
- Security is an increasingly important consideration in system design, but classic protection mechanisms have proved unable to deal with current security problems. Increasingly untrustworthy software, including active Web code and malicious or remotely exploited applications, means that it is no longer sufficient to protect users from each other. This paper...

- Optimal Broadcast Scheduling for Random-Loss Channels
- Virtually all known results of broadcast scheduling have assumed that channels are reliable without data corruption or loss. This assumption, however, is far from reality. In fact, data loss imposes severe impact on broadcast performance, as briefly shown in. This paper studies how to systematically derive optimal broadcast schedules for...

- SpyProxy: Execution-Based Detection of Malicious Web Content
- This paper explores the use of execution-based Web content analysis to protect users from Internet-borne malware. Many anti-malware tools use signatures to identify malware infections on a user's PC. In contrast, the authors approach is to render and observe active Web content in a disposable virtual machine before it reaches...

- On the Deployment of Heterogeneous Sensor Networks for Detection of Mobile Targets
- Detecting targets moving inside a field of interest is one of the fundamental services of Wireless Sensor Networks. The network performance with respect to target detection is directly related to the placement of the sensors within the field of interest. This paper addresses the problem of wireless sensor deployment, for...

- TCP Meets Mobile Code
- This paper argues that transport protocols such as TCP provide a rare domain in which protocol extensibility by untrusted parties is both valuable and practical. TCP continues to be refined despite more than two decades of progress and the difficulties due to deployment delays and backwards-compatibility are well-known. Remote extensibility,...

- TCP Congestion Control With a Misbehaving Receiver
- This paper explores the operation of TCP congestion control when the receiver can misbehave, as might occur with a greedy Web client. The paper first demonstrates that there are simple attacks that allow a misbehaving receiver to drive a standard TCP sender arbitrarily fast, without losing end-to-end reliability. These attacks...

- Negotiation-Based Routing Between Neighboring ISPs
- This paper explores negotiation as the basis for cooperation between competing entities, for the specific case of routing between two neighboring ISPs. Inter-domain routing is often driven by self-interest and based on a limited view of the internetwork, which hurts the stability and efficiency of routing. The paper presents a...

- Identifying Servers Using DNS, Port Scanning, and Passive Network Monitoring
- Higher education networks are often well connected and centrally managed but end devices are autonomously administered by distributed organizational units. When the central networking group is asked to identify servers on the network, a number of techniques can be employed, none of which are perfect but some more exact than...
