Location-Based MAC Protocols for Mobile Wireless Networks

Overview This paper considers Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols for mobile ad hoc networks that are designed for MAC layer broadcasts. For example, such protocols could be used to transmit traffic information among vehicles. The paper analyzes the performance of two simple MAC protocols, when multi-user interference is explicitly modeled via the received Signal-to-Interference Plus noise ratio (SINR). One protocol is a simple slotted Aloha protocol with spatial reuse; the second protocol uses location information to determine the channel access. For both protocols the paper focuses on a one dimensional model and measure performance in terms of the average number of nodes that receive each message in one hop.

Microsoft begins to embrace Bluetooth

For instance, a digital camera could transmit images directly to a printer over Bluetooth without being processed through the PC. They also said the company is playing catch-up with Apple Computer, which already offers Bluetooth in Mac OS X.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Wireless everything

Sometimes this is experienced when atmospheric conditions cause unexpected interference, with signals propagating from one country to another in an unintended manner. There have to be rules, regulation and control otherwise we would suffer...

Peter Cochrane's Blog: The search for spectrum

This is the world I grew up in as a young engineer, where interference, multi-path, scatter and signal-to-noise ratio dominated all design and operational considerations. They talk to each other to minimise the energy used and problems associated...

Peter Cochrane's Blog: Wireless jelly

For at least some of the time I think we can safely assume that the problem is plain old interference. It appears that mains- or power-feed borne interference is still getting into the environment and causing an occasional problem.

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
