Wireless networks operate in environments with unknown and time-varying characteristics.
The changing nature of many of these characteristics will significantly affect network …

Pushing along with proactive caching, in which content items are transmitted prior to being
requested by a user, holds the promise of trading scalable storage resources for substantial …

A learning automata-based polling (LEAP) protocol for wireless LANs, capable of operating
efficiently under bursty traffic conditions, is introduced. We consider an infrastructure …

Motivated by the rapid development of energy harvesting technology and content-aware
communication in access networks, this paper considers the push mechanism design in …

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have potentially unlimited applications in the future.
Therefore, establishing a viable and secure wireless network routing protocol for these …

The internet of things (IoT) has emerged as one of the most important developments of the
21st century. Consumer, commercial, industrial, and infrastructural environments are among …

Underwater acoustic networks have recently emerged as a new area of research in wireless
networking. These networks can support a large number of applications such as …

A cyber-physical system (CPS) consists of a group of interlinked networked objects. CPSs
are characteristically different from the traditional internetworked systems (eg, Internet) due …

A new class of P-model absorbing learning automata is introduced. The proposed automata
are based on the use of a stochastic estimator in order to achieve a rapid and accurate …

Hierarchy is key to managing design complexity. A hierarchical design system needs to
maintain many views of the same design entity. Some of the examples might be physical …
