A new algorithm to compute the edit distance between cyclic strings is presented.
Experimental results with synthetic cyclic strings and a handwritten digits recognition task …

In a heterogeneous mobile networking environment, when a mobile user needs to perform a
handover and switch to a new network, besides all the mobility management procedures to …

With the growing use of multiradio mobile terminals a vertical handoff between different
wireless access technologies is becoming increasingly common. The vertical hand-off may …

In this paper we study the performance of TCP with a vertical handoff between access
networks with widely varying link characteristics. TCP being an end-to-end protocol has …

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) has served as the workhorse to transmit Internet traffic
for several decades already. Its built-in congestion control mechanism has proved reliable to …

Quick-Start is an experimental extension of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) that
allows to speed up best effort data transfers. With Quick-Start, TCP hosts can request …

In this paper we propose an enhancement to the TCP sender algorithm to combat packet
reordering that may occur due to a vertical handoff from a slow to a fast access link. The …

this paper we study the performance of TCP with a vertical handoff between access
networks with widely varying link characteristics. TCP being an end-to-end protocol has …

This paper investigates the utilization of explicit bottleneck link characteristic information in
order to enhance TCP behaviors. We propose the TCP Quick-Adjust algorithm as an …

The ever expanding growth of the wireless access to the Internet in recent years has led to
the proliferation of wireless and mobile devices to connect to the Internet. This has created …
