Abstract Information flow in a telecommunication network is accomplished through the
interaction of mechanisms at various design layers with the end goal of supporting the …

The smart power grid harnesses information and communication technologies to enhance
reliability and enforce sensible use of energy through effective management of demand …

The limited battery lifetime of a wireless device, which is directly related to the power
consumption of the device, imposes a constraint on network performance. Thus, one of the …

Opportunistic scheduling algorithms are effective in exploiting channel variations and
maximizing system throughput in multi-rate wireless networks. However, most scheduling …

This paper, motivated by mission-critical and latency-constrained traffic, focuses on
delivering different messages to various end-users within hard deadlines on the downlink of …

User-perceived throughput is a novel performance metric attracting a considerable amount
of recent attention because it characterizes the quality of the experience in mobile …

Network throughput and energy consumption are two important performance metrics for a
multi-hop wireless network. Current state-of-the-art is limited to either maximizing throughput …

Security problem poses a great challenge for running mission-critical cyber-physical
systems in wireless networks. With the disregard of security factors, existing message …

Energy consumption and timely requirements are two key factors affecting the performance
of mission-critical cyber-physical systems. Little work deals with scheduling a set of time …

This paper considers a single source transmitting data to one or more receivers/users over a
shared wireless channel. Due to random fading, the wireless channel conditions vary with …
