In this paper we survey the various erasure codes which had been proposed and patented recently, and along the survey we provide introductory tutorial on many of the essential concepts and readings in erasure and Fountain codes. Packet erasure is a fundamental characteristic inherent in data storage and data transmission system. Traditionally replication/ retransmission based techniques had been employed to deal with p Read More

Currently, the HTTP protocol supports a lot of different applications, with distinct traffic intensities and patterns. The ability to accurately map traffic flows to their corresponding application can be very useful in several operational and management tasks, like service differentiation and personalization, network resources optimization, network management and security. This paper discusses the possibility of performing t Read More

One of the key objectives of a smart grid is to provide reliable protection and control mechanisms in distribution networks. Pilot protection schemes being one of the most effective methods of protecting networked distribution lines, are extensively used in high voltage transmission grids. Pilot protection schemes use high-speed, interrelay communications for fast fault detection and isolation. The use of a broadband wireless ac Read More

A novel cooperative scheme based on Physical layer Network Coding (PNC) for short range communication (SRC) networks is presented in this paper. We investigate a scenario of overlapping networks with multicast traffic and propose a technique for the leverage of inter-network cooperation. Our main goal is to exploit the characteristics of PNC in a solution for cooperative SRC networks, where energy efficiency is Read More

This paper presents a fault-tolerant mutual exclusion dual-token algorithm named DTME in distributed system. The DTME algorithm is a kind of algorithm which is based on the token ring approach. It uses two tokens which can detect each other but have different function. With a new logical ring structure, the DTME algorithm uses a novel token passing strategy to arbitrate resources shared by multi-process simultaneously. T Read More
