On Characterizing Network Topologies and Analyzing Their Impact on Protocol Design

Analyzing the Effect Adding an Active Feedback Network with an Inductive behavior to a Common-Gate Topology as a Transimpedance Amplifier for Low-Power and Wide-Band Communication Applications

  Common Gate (CG) topologies are commonly used as the first stage in Transimpedance Amplifiers (TIA), due to their low input resistance. But, this structure is not solely used as a TIA and comes with other topologies such as differential amplifiers or negative resistances and capacitances. This paper deals with analyzing the effect of adding an active feedback network to a common gate topology...

Analyzing the Performance of Mesh and Fat-Tree Topologies for Network on Chip Design

The demand of integration of many heterogeneous semiconductor intellectual property (IP) blocks has been introducing a new chip design paradigm so called on chip network. This paradigm promisingly offers a packet switched network among IPs to reduce the main problems in the very deep sub micron technologies that arise from non-scalable global wire delay, failure to achieve global synchronizatio...

Characterizing topological bottlenecks for data delivery in CTP using simulation-based stress testing with natural selection

Routing protocols for ad-hoc networks, e.g., the Collection Tree Protocol (CTP), are designed with simple node-local behaviour, but are deployed on testbeds with uncontrollable physical topology; exhaustively verifying the protocol on all possible topologies at design time is not tractable. We obtain topological insights on CTP performance, to answer the question: Which topological patterns cau...

Characterizing the Robustness of Complex Networks

With increasingly ambitious initiatives such as GENI and FIND that seek to design future internets, it becomes imperative to define the characteristics of robust topologies, and build future networks optimized for robustness. This paper investigates the characteristics of network topologies that maintain a high level of throughput in spite of multiple attacks. To this end, we select network top...
