Variable Bit Rate Flow Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks

Overview Since energy constraint is a fundamental issue for wireless sensor networks, network lifetime performance has become a key performance metric for such networks. This paper considers a two-tier wireless sensor network and focus on the flow routing problem for the upper tier Aggregation and Forwarding Nodes (AFNs). Specifically, the authors are interested in how to perform flow routing among the nodes when the bit rate from each source node is time-varying.

Peter Cochrane's Blog: Fat cat telcos are killing the net

The telcos et al see an opportunity to regulate the whole net and control the packet flow so they can extract more revenues by creating tiers of usage for individuals and websites by volume and speed.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
