Information Assurance in Resource Constraint Networks

Trust Management in Resource Constraint Networks

There are numerous environments or situations where a computer network has one or more constraints. Impact of these constraints can range from minimal user inconveniences to catastrophic reduction of capabilities. These constraints allow availability of information at the cost of abandoning the safety and reliability of traditional routing and security protocols. A number of environments in whi...

Asymptotic Close to Optimal Resource Allocation in Centralized Multi-band Wireless Networks

This paper concerns sub-channel allocation in multi-user wireless networks with a view to increasing the network throughput. It is assumed there are some sub-channels to be equally divided among active links, such that the total sum rate increases, where it is assumed each link is subject to a maximum transmit power constraint. This problem is found to be a non-convex optimization problem and i...

A Pragmatic Approach to Superwarfarin Intoxication in a Resource Constraint Setting; a Case Report

An efficient symmetric polynomial-based key establishment protocol for wireless sensor networks

An essential requirement for providing secure services in wireless sensor networks is the ability to establish pairwise keys among sensors. Due to resource constraints on the sensors, the key establishment scheme should not create significant overhead. To date, several key establishment schemes have been proposed. Some of these have appropriate connectivity and resistance against key exposure, ...

QoS-driven adaptive resource allocation for mobile wireless communications and networks

QoS-Driven Adaptive Resource Allocation for Mobile Wireless Communications and Networks. (December 2006) Jia Tang, B.S. Xi’an Jiaotong University, Xi’an, China Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Xi Zhang Quality-of-service (QoS) guarantees will play a critically important role in future mobile wireless networks. In this dissertation, we study a set of QoS-driven resource allocation problems for m...
