The lecture notes cover the following topics,
Fundamentals (OSI Reference Model, Coding, Ethernet), Data Link Control (Flow Control, Error Control, HDLC, PPP), Internet Protocol ...
Pervasive and ad hoc computing applications are frequently deployed in dynamic networks. Due to mobility of the computing nodes, their unreliability, or a limited communication ra...
Many studies have shown that the imbalance of network channel traffic is of critical effect on the overall performance of multicomputer systems. In this paper, we analytically mode...
Because of cost and resource constraints, sensor nodes do not have a complicated hardware architecture or operating system to protect program safety. Hence, the notorious buffer-o...
We consider the problem of constructing randomness extractors that are locally computable; that is, read only a small number of bits from their input. As recently shown by Lu (thi...
