Currently, TCP is the most popular and widely used network transmission protocol. In actual fact, about 90% of connections on the internet use TCP to communicate. Through several upgrades and improvements, TCP became well optimized for the very reliable wired networks. As a result, TCP considers all packet timeouts in wired networks as due to network congestion and not to bit errors. However, w...

Several papers have published very specific threats to wireless networks—specifically in the area of attacks against the IEEE 802.11 Wired Equivalency Protocol (WEP). Other papers have addressed wireless attacks based on the attack models used in wired networks. However, the different characteristics of wireless networks require looking at the threat differently. We present a Wireless Threat Ta...

Man, is living in an era that the knowledge is estimated to be doubled in a relatively short time. The fast rate of technology's growth in the "Century of information", is caused by fast growth of communication technologies like the internet which has become one of the best tools for a quick, cheap, effective and vastly supported communication. For an efficient and effective usage of tools and ...

In this technical report we establish fundamental limitations to the benefit of network coding in terms of energy and throughput in multihop wireless networks. Thereby we adopt two well accepted scenarios in the field: single multicast session and multiple unicast sessions. Most of our results apply to arbitrary wireless network and are, in particular, not asymptotic in kind. We prove that the ...

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has revolutionized businesses by changing the way data are used to make products and services more efficient, reliable, profitable. To achieve improvement goals, IIoT must guarantee real-time performance industrial applications such as motion control, providing stringent quality service (QoS) assurances for their (industrial applications) communication n...

Internet evolution delineated through the last years has urged the wireless network community to adopt the support of the IP protocol. The deployment of IP multimedia services with guaranteed quality of service in both the access and core network is one of the primary requirements for 3G wireless networks. This paper focuses on issues regarding interoperability with external, “wired” QoS-enable...

In this paper we study the problem of supporting quality-of service (QoS) parameters during a handover event, from the view of the wired network. The future network concepts of the most significant telecommunication companies have three common aspects: a unified IP/ATM backbone, many different kinds of access technologies and QoS support. We propose a new handover supporting routing method, whi...

A number of measurement studies have examined traffic characteristics in wireless networks. Most of these measurements [1], [6], [7] have been conducted from the wired portion of the network. In this paper we argue that such measurements are not sufficient to expose either the characteristics of the wireless medium or how such characteristics impact traffic patterns. While it is easier to make ...

In this paper we proposed perfectly secure message transmission for reliable and secure communications in order to ensure that an adversary cannot obtain information (in the information theoretic sense) about messages. There are numerous studies about the interplay of network connectivity and perfectly secure message transmission under a Byzantine adversary capable of corrupting up to t players...
