In this article, a new multicast protocol is introduced at the session layer, which based on network coding and called Network Coding Datagram Protocol (NCDP). The NCDP specifically designed for content delivery systems that utilize data transmission from multiple sources. development of packet its operational logic takes into consideration variability protocols used in conjunction with it, as ...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have attracted a lot of attention from the research community and industry in recent years. WSNs maintenance associated with battery replacement can increase system operating costs, especially for wireless sensor networks located hard-to-reach dangerous places. In this study, an adaptive Medium Access Control (MAC) is proposed that regulate period data acquisitio...

In this work, we place a long-established distributed computing problem in a new context. Speciically, the group leader election problem is studied \in-side the network," meaning that participants in the election process are network switches/routers, rather than hosts. In this context, an election protocol can take advantage of certain internal operations of the network, such as the underlying ...

Network lifetime is a critical issue in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In which, a large number of sensor nodes communicate together to perform a predetermined sensing task. In such networks, the network life time depends mainly on the lifetime of the sensor nodes constituting the network. Therefore, it is essential to balance the energy consumption among all sensor nodes to ensure the networ...

Providing a responsive network architecture is essential to future distributed systems. In this paper, a new model that incorporates the foundations for a responsive network architecture is proposed. This model guarantees noti cation of requests transmitted to the network in bounded time. Its functionalities augment existing resource reservation protocols that support multimedia communication. ...
