Wireless Quality of Service: Techniques, Standards, and Applications (Wireless Networks and Mobile Communications)

Wireless Quality of Service: Techniques, Standards, and Applications (Wireless Networks and Mobile Communications), 9781420051308 (142005130X), Auerbach Publications, 2008

Focusing on an important and complicated topic in wireless network design, Wireless Quality of Service: Techniques, Standards, and Applications systematically addresses the quality-of-service (QoS) issues found in many types of popular wireless networks.

In each chapter, the book presents numerous QoS challenges encountered in real-world applications and delineates ways to overcome these obstacles. Some of the challenges explored are performance impairments in WLAN hotspots, video streaming applications, and broadband wireless access. The techniques and mechanisms covered to tackle these problems include medium access and call admission control techniques, a parameter tuning algorithm, the QoS-enabling features of IEEE 802.11e, a Markov chain model, a probe-based distributed admission control mechanism, topology-transparent scheduling protocols, and a novel multicast congestion control mechanism.

Addressing advanced topics and future directions, the expert contributors acknowledge the need for more research to solve several open issues. In the meantime, they offer innovative solutions to solve current QoS problems.

Compiler Specification and Verification (Lecture Notes in Computer Science)

Springer, 1981

About four years ago David Luckham hinted to me the possibility of verifying a "real" compiler. At that time the idea seemed unrealistic, even absurd. After looking closer at the problem and getting more familiar with the possibilities of the Stanford verifier a verified compiler appeared not so impossible after all. In...
