The role of the sliding direction against a grooved channel texture on tool steel: An experimental study on tactile friction

To control tactile friction, that is the friction between fingertip and counter-body, the role of surface texture is required to be unveiled and defined. In this research, an experimental approach is used based on measuring tactile friction for directional texture (grooved channel) with varying depths. For a reference surface, in this current...

Real-Time Probing of End-to-End Capacity and Available Bandwidth in Heterogeneous Local Networks

Current QoS solutions for home networks are inspired by Internet technologies and typically based on traffic classification and prioritization. They are not well adopted because they need to be supported by every device in the end-to-end path to be effective. Besides, their use still does not guarantee that enough bandwidth will be available...

Path capacity estimation in heterogeneous, best-effort, small-scale IP networks

Current QoS solutions for IP networks are usually based on traffic classification and need to be supported by every device in the end-to-end path to be effective. This is relatively expensive for home networks. Alternative techniques have been proposed that require end-user services to pragmatically adapt their properties to the actual condition...

Modeling, validation, and simulation of massive self-organizing wireless sensor networks with cross-layer optimization and congestion mitigation techniques

TNO has formulated the ambition of founding a basis for the development of flexible multi-data source and multi-application (ad hoc) sensor networks. These networks are envisioned on a scale that is beyond networks for specific and separate sensor networks. These separate networks need in the future to be combined intelligently in order to...

Enhanced MAC Layer Protocol for Millimeter Wave based WPAN

The IEEE 802.15.3 standard defines a widely-accepted MAC layer protocol for high data rate WPANs. However, resource allocation schemes are not specified in the IEEE 802.15.3 MAC. In this paper, an enhanced IEEE 802.15.3 MAC is proposed for 60 GHz based WPANs. The enhancement relies on a novel resource management scheme. By exploiting the...
