We shed light on the effect of network resources and user behavior on network traffic through a physically motivated model. The classical onâ off model successfully captures the long-range, second-order correlations of ...

In many communication systems, including Digital Subscriber Lines, performance is severely limited by crosstalk interference. Previous work has presented a general framework for designing optimal transmit spectra for ...

In wireless sensor networks, energy and communication bandwidth are precious resources. Traditionally, layering has been used as a design principle for network stacks; hence routing protocols assume no knowledge of the ...

We present several methods for implementing optimal HDSL2 transmit spectra that, at activation, adapt to the surrounding interference and noise. The methods are based around either a set of fixed transmit filters or a ...

We study the problem of locating in space and over time a network pathâ s tight link, that is the link with the least available bandwidth on the path. Tight link localization benefits network-aware applications, provides ...

We propose and study a new technique for efficiently acquiring and reconstructing signals based on convolution with a fixed FIR filter having random taps. The method is designed for sparse and compressible signals, i.e., ...

This paper presents a general framework for designing optimal transmit spectra for communication services dominated by crosstalk --- for example Digital Subscriber Lines (DSLs) and wireless LANs. Using the channel, noise, ...

An obvious approach to image enhancement is to sharpen bright regions of an image more than darker regions. One very simple method to accomplish this is to weight the amount of highpass filtering proportional to the local ...

The recently introduced theory of Compressed Sensing (CS) enables the reconstruction or approximation of sparse or compressible signals from a small set of incoherent projections; often the number of projections can be ...

High capacity data transfers over the Internet routinely fail to meet end-to-end performance expectations. The default transport control protocol for best effort data traffic is currently TCP, which does not scale well to ...
