Improving network connectivity in the presence of heavy-tailed interference
Wang, Pu; Akyildiz, Ian F. (IEEE, 2014-10)The heavy tailed (HT) traffic from wireless users, caused by the emerging Internet and multimedia applications, introduces a HT interference region within which network users will experience unbounded delay with infinite ... -
Joint physical and link layer error control analysis for nanonetworks in the Terahertz band
Akkari, Nadine; Jornet, Josep Miquel; Wang, Pu; Fadel, Etimad; Elrefaei, Lamiaa A.; Malik, Muhammad Ghulam Abbas; Almasri, Suleiman; Akyildiz, Ian F. (Springer International Publishing AG, 2016-05)Nanonetworks consist of nano-sized communicating devices which are able to perform simple tasks at the nanoscale. The limited capabilities of individual nanomachines and the Terahertz (THz) band channel behavior lead to ... -
On the stability of dynamic spectrum access networks in the presence of heavy tails
Wang, Pu; Akyildiz, Ian F. (IEEE, 2015-02)The heavy-tailed nature in dynamic spectrum access networks challenges the applicability of conventional network stability criterion. To counter this problem, a new stability criterion, namely moment stability, is introduced, ... -
