On the design of Terabit Class Modems for high-throughput, low-latency and high-availability FSO applications

Conventional modems are designed for Gigabit class connections. To meet the ever-growing demand for higher data rates, this work addresses the challenges and proposes a design for a new generation of Terabit class modems, specifically suitable for free space optics (FSO) communications.

Software-Defined Underwater Acoustic Modems Historical Review and the NILUS Approach

Flexible/adaptive acoustic modems that are reprogrammable/reconfigurable at all layers of the communication stack, either by a user or by means of autonomous decisions, are considered as an important enabler for interoperability and cognitive networking in the underwater domain. In this paper, we review the existing literature on software...

Software-defined open-architecture modems: Historical review and the NILUS approach

Flexible/adaptive modems that are reprogramma-ble/reconfigurable at all layers of the communication stack, either by a user or by means of autonomous decisions, are considered as an important enabler for interoperability and cognitive networking in the underwater domain.

Underwater acoustic communication research at TNO-Past and present

This paper provides an overview of more than 12 years of underwater acoustic communication research at the Sonar Department of TNO The Hague. The research covered both point-to-point links and relay networks, from long-range covert communication to short-range high-data-rate communication, for both civil and military applications. The current...

Modeling ping times in First Person Shooter games

In First Person Shooter (FPS) games the Round Trip Time (RTT), i.e., the sum of the network delay from client to server and the network delay from server to client, impacts the gamer's performance considerably. Game client software usually has a built-in process to measure this RTT (also referred to as ping time), and therefore gamers do not...
