    Abstract

    We present a general algorithm for learning the structure of discrete Markov
    random fields from i.i.d. samples. Several algorithms have been proposed for
    structure learning algorithms earlier and each of these address the learning
    problem under different assumptions.

  2. Scheduling for Optimal Rate Allocation in Ad Hoc Networks With Heterogeneous Delay Constraints.

    Subjects: Networking and Internet Architecture
    Abstract

    This paper studies the problem of scheduling in single-hop wireless networks
    with real-time traffic, where every packet arrival has an associated deadline
    and a minimum fraction of packets must be transmitted before the end of the
    deadline. Using optimization and stochastic network theory we propose a
    framework to model the quality of service (QoS) requirements under delay
    constraints. The model allows for fairly general arrival models with
    heterogeneous constraints.

    Abstract

    Backpressure-based adaptive routing algorithms where each packet is routed
    along a possibly different path have been extensively studied in the
    literature. However, such algorithms typically result in poor delay performance
    and involve high implementation complexity. In this paper, we develop a new
    adaptive routing algorithm built upon the widely-studied back-pressure
    algorithm. We decouple the routing and scheduling components of the algorithm
    by designing a probabilistic routing table which is used to route packets to
    per-destination queues.

  4. Q-CSMA: Queue-Length Based CSMA/CA Algorithms for Achieving Maximum Throughput and Low Delay in Wireless Networks.

    Authors: R. Srikant, Jian Ni, Bo Tan
    Subjects: Networking and Internet Architecture
    Abstract

    Recently, it has been shown that CSMA-type random access algorithms can
    achieve the maximum possible throughput in ad hoc wireless networks. However,
    these algorithms assume an idealized continuous-time CSMA protocol where
    collisions can never occur. In addition, simulation results indicate that the
    delay performance of these algorithms can be quite bad.

  5. The Asymptotic Behavior of Minimum Buffer Size Requirements in Large P2P Streaming Networks.

    Subjects: Networking and Internet Architecture
    Abstract

    The growth of real-time content streaming over the Internet has resulted in
    the use of peer-to-peer (P2P) approaches for scalable content delivery. In such
    P2P streaming systems, each peer maintains a playout buffer of content chunks
    which it attempts to fill by contacting other peers in the network. The
    objective is to ensure that the chunk to be played out is available with high
    probability while keeping the buffer size small. Given that a particular peer
    has been selected, a \emph{policy} is a rule that suggests which chunks should
    be requested by the peer from other peers..

  6. Optimal Scheduling for Fair Resource Allocation in Ad Hoc Networks with Elastic and Inelastic Traffic.

    Authors: Juan Jose Jaramillo, R. Srikant
    Subjects: Networking and Internet Architecture
    Abstract

    This paper studies the problem of congestion control and scheduling in ad hoc
    wireless networks that have to support a mixture of best-effort and real-time
    traffic. Optimization and stochastic network theory have been successful in
    designing architectures for fair resource allocation to meet long-term
    throughput demands. However, to the best of our knowledge, strict packet delay
    deadlines were not considered in this framework previously. In this paper, we
    propose a model for incorporating the quality of service (QoS) requirements of
    packets with deadlines in the optimization framework.
