This paper thoroughly analyses the HIPERLAN MAC protocol, which is a standard for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) defined by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). Since the HIPERLAN MAC protocol belongs to the class of Carrier Sensing Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA), in the first part of the paper we analyze the HIPERLAN stability problem. In the se...

Currently, some coarse measures like global network latency are used to compare routing protocols. These measures do not provide enough insight of traffic distribution among network nodes in presence of different fault regions. This paper presents a detailed traffic analysis of f-cube routing algorithm achieved by a especially developed tool. Per-node traffic analysis illustrates the traffic ho...

Traffic operators in traffic control centers have various measures at their disposition to control the traffic flows on motorways and on urban roads such as ramp metering, variable speed limits, dynamic route guidance, opening of shoulder lanes, etc. When having to determine which of these control measures have to be applied and where they have to be applied for a given traffic situation, the t...
