This paper analyzes the scanning process in IEEE 802.11 networks in an urban setting characterized by a high Access Point (AP) density. Most of these APs belong to a community network, known as a collection of APs announcing ...

El alto nivel de conectividad y movilidad de los dispositivos actuales, junto con la disminución del costo de las tecnologías de acceso, han permitido la puesta en funcionamiento de una gran cantidad de puntos de acceso ...

Nowadays, the increasing diversity of wireless technologies opens the possibility for a mobile device to exploit the aggregated capacity of multiple wireless networks. This aggregated capacity gives different possible ...

Recently, there has been an interest in accelerating the initial bandwidth discovery phase of TCP. In this paper the feedback provided by TCP Acknowledgements (ACKs) does not only mean (as in legacy TCP) that a single data ...

In TCP, receivers usually delay the emission of acknowledgements (ACK) packets for efficiency purposes (e.g., alleviate the processors charge or piggyback information in telnet connections). However, just as a TCP receiver ...

Considering the increasing popularity of IEEE 802.11 (WiFi) wireless accesses, users face with the necessity of maintaining a continuous connection to the network while moving. In order to tackle this issue, Mobile Stations ...
