Advances and Open Problems in Backscatter Networking

Recent Advances in Networking

Transport protocols play a critical role in today’s Internet. This chapter first looks at the recent of the reliable transport protocols. It then explains the growing impact of middleboxes on the evolvability of these protocols. Two recent protocol extensions, Multipath TCP and Minion, which were both designed to extend the current Transport Layer in the Internet are then described.

Advances in Underwater Acoustic Networking

The field of underwater acoustic networking is growing rapidly thanks to the key role it plays in many military and commercial applications. Among these are disaster prevention, tactical surveillance, offshore exploration, pollution monitoring and oceanographic data collection. The underwater acoustic propagation channel presents formidable challenges, including slow propagation of acoustic wav...

Recent Advances in Declarative Networking

Declarative networking is a programming methodology that enables developers to concisely specify network protocols and services, and directly compile these specifications into a dataflow framework for execution. This paper describes recent advances in declarative networking, tracing its evolution from a rapid prototyping framework towards a platform that serves as an important bridge connecting...

Recent Advances in Wireless Networking

A fter discussing advances in wired networking in a previous column (" Recent Advances in Wired Networking, " Computer , April 2000, pp. 107-109), I now turn to advances in wireless networking. Wireless networks can include everything from cellular, personal communications system (PCS), and Group System for Mobile communications (GSM) networks to wireless LANs, satellite-based networks, and fix...
