On the Discovery of Critical Links and Nodes for Assessing Network Vulnerability

Abstract The assessment of network vulnerability is of great importance in the presence of unexpected disruptive events or adversarial attacks targeting on critical network links and nodes. In this paper, we study Critical Link Disruptor (CLD) and Critical Node Disruptor (CND) optimization problems to identify critical links and nodes in a network whose removals maximally […]


Dynamic Control of Receiver Buffers in Mobile Video Streaming Systems

Abstract We propose a novel algorithm to efficiently transmit multiple Variable-Bit-Rate (VBR) video streams from a base station to mobile receivers in wide-area wireless networks. The algorithm multicasts video streams in bursts to save the energy of mobile devices. In addition, the algorithm adaptively controls the buffer levels of mobile devices receiving different video streams […]
