Due to the nature of the wireless transmission medium, wireless communications are characterised by notably larger losses of data packets than wired communications. The quality of wireless links is highly dependent on channel variations, interference and even transceiver imperfections. Such link uncertainty instigated the development of numerous techniques that can …
In this thesis, we look at networking functionality as a set of services which can be composed dynamically. We argue that the dynamic composition of communication services can speed up design and experimentation with new protocol stacks. The reference Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) architecture of communication networks splits network functionality …
