One major yet unsolved problem in wired-cum-wireless networks is the classification of losses, which might result from wireless temporary interferences or from network congestion. The transport protocol response to losses should be different for these two cases. If the transmission uses existing protocols like TCP, the losses are always classified as congestion losses by sender, causing reduced...

Résumé Nous présentons des solutions algorithmiques pour deux problèmes liés à l’interférence de réseau sans fil. D’abord on propose de ordonnancer les liens d’un ensemble de routes données en vertu de l’hypothèse d’un modèle à fort trafic. Nous considérons un protocole TDMA qu’offre une source d’intervalles de temps synchronisés et cherchent à ordonnancer les itinéraires des liens afin de maxi...

In the gathering problem, a particular node in a graph, the base station, aims at receiving messages from some nodes in the graph. At each step, a node can send one message to one of its neighbor (such an action is called a call). However, a node cannot send and receive a message during the same step. Moreover, the communication is subjet to interference constraints, more precisely, two calls i...

Next generation high performance computers will massively use virtualization as a way to share hardware resources between multiple applications and to provide flexible mechanisms for fault tolerance and energy optimisation. In this context, understanding the performance behavior of virtual machines and the interference between them is a major scientific challenge that will allow a more efficien...

In this report, a number of approaches to detect a frequency hopped signal in digital wideband data were investigated, both theoretically and through computer simulations. These approaches included the FFT, the polyphase filter, and the periodogram, plus variants of the these approaches using windowing functions and frequency smoothing. Additionally, the maximum likelihood approach was included...
