Datacenters provide cost-effective and flexible access to scalable compute and storage
resources necessary for today's cloud computing needs. A typical datacenter is made up of …

Network slicing has emerged as a promising networking paradigm to provide resources
tailored for Industry 4.0 and diverse services in 5G networks. However, the increased …

This book focuses on LTE with full updates including LTE-Advanced (Release-11) to provide
a complete picture of the LTE system. Detailed explanations are given for the latest LTE …

Project scheduling is concerned with single-item or small batch production where scarce
resources have to be allocated to dependent activities over time. Applications can be found …

HTTP video streaming, such as Flash video, is widely deployed to deliver stored media.
Owing to TCP's reliable service, the picture and sound quality would not be degraded by …

Recently, HTTP has been widely used for the delivery of real-time multimedia content over
the Internet, such as in video streaming applications. To combat the varying network …

TCP congestion control can perform badly in highspeed wide area networks because of its
slow response with large congestion windows. The challenge for any alternative protocol is …

Multipathing in communication networks is gaining momentum due to its attractive features
of increased reliability, throughput, fault tolerance, and load balancing capabilities. In …

In heterogeneous networks, TCP connections that incorporate a terrestrial or satellite radio
link are greatly disadvantaged with respect to entirely wired connections, because of their …

We study communication networks that employ drop-tail queueing and Additive-Increase
Multiplicative-Decrease (AIMD) congestion control algorithms. It is shown that the theory of …
