This book targets engineers and researchers familiar with basic computer architecture concepts who are interested in learning about on-chip networks. This work is designed to be a short synthesis of the most critical concepts in on-chip network design. It is a resource for both …
This text presents a modern theory of analysis, control, and optimization for dynamic networks. Mathematical techniques of Lyapunov drift and Lyapunov optimization are developed and shown to enable constrained optimization of time averages in general stochastic systems. The focu…

Routing in highly dynamic wireless networks such as Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) is a challenging task due to frequent topology changes. Sustaining a transmission path between peers in such network environment is difficult. In this thesis, Previous Hop Routing (PHR) is pop…
Transmission power control (TPC) has been used in wireless networks to improve channel reuse and/or reduce energy consumption. It has been mainly applied to single-input single-output (SISO) systems. Significant improvement in performance can be achieved by employing multi-input…
Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) are becoming popular as a means of providing communication among a group of people. Because of self-configuring and self-organizing characteristics, MANETs can be deployed quickly. There is no infrastructure defined in the network, therefore all o…
A main objective in the evacuation routing problem is to minimize total evacuation time. Analytical models have been developed for this problem with a major draw back due to assuming constant travel time (speed). A routing solution that is based on assuming constant speed may pr…
We study an extension to the general routing problem, which deals with integrating fixed route service with the general pick up and delivery problem to create a hybrid routing problem. The primary application for such a service is a dial-a-ride system used by transit agencies to…
Existing MANET routing protocols can be classified into three categories: On-demand, Proactive, and Proactive-On-demand hybrid protocols. This dissertation presents a novel hybrid MANET routing protocol, Adaptive On-demand MANET Routing (AOMAR) protocol. AOMAR borrowed the conce…
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) present the next great challenge for distributed systems research where the participants are used to route communication traffic from senders to receivers. Before establishing a secure communication link, the node should be able to identify anothe…
