The problem of controlled bandwidth allocation has been extensively studied for wired domain. But very little attention has been paid for wired-cum-wireless network topologies. This paper focuses on issues that makes a wireless scenario different from a wired one and proposes novel mechanisms for ensuring user-defined shares to different traffic flows. We show that most of the existing scheduli...

We consider the problem of network coding across multiple unicasts. We give, for wired and wireless networks, efficient polynomial time algorithms for finding optimal network codes within the class of network codes restricted to XOR coding between pairs of flows.

For advanced streaming applications over wired-wireless networks TCP-Friendly Rate Control (TFRC) has been widely adopted nowadays to give smooth sending rate and unceasing quality in streaming applications TFRC applies an equation-based rate control scheme. However, TFRC tends to fail in wireless environment if packet lost event was done by poor channel quality but network congestion. Therefor...

This paper presents results from an eight-day network packet trace of MosquitoNet. MosquitoNet allows users of laptop computers to switch seamlessly between a metropolitan-area wireless network and a wired network (10 Mbit/s Ethernet) available in ooces and on-campus residences. Results include the amount of user mobility between the wired and wireless networks, the amount of mobility within th...
