Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986: Intercepting Pages
In a Federal Criminal Case, a decorated New York City policeman was accused of intercepting Police Department pages. One issue was the interpretation of The Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986, specifically in relation to 18 U.S.C. Sections 2510, 2511 and 2512 (the "Act").
A Markov Modulated Characterization of Packetized Voice and Data Traffic and Related Statistical Multiplexer Performance
We study the performance of a statistical multiplexer whose inputs consist of a superposition of packetized voice sources and data. The performance analysis predicts voice packet delay distributions, which usually have a stringent requirement, as well as data packet delay distributions.
Preventing Texting-while-Driving: Reduces Distracted Driving
The dangers of multi-tasking while driving are well known. The risks, however, will depend on the attempted tasks. For an example, texting while driving is perhaps one of the riskiest activities that may lead to car accidents.
Traffic Smoothing Effects Of Bit Dropping In A Packet Voice Multiplexer
Recent studies have shown that the superposition of packet sequences generated by packetized voice sources with speech detection exhibit high burstiness due to inherent correlations between successive interarrival times in the superposition stream.
The BMAP/G/l QUEUE: A Tutorial
We present an overview of recent results related to the single server queue with general independent and identically distributed service times and a batch Markovian arrival process (BMAP).
Multi-Dimensional Transform Inversion With Applications To The Transient M/G/1 Queue
We develop an algorithm for numerically inverting multi-dimensional transforms.
Squeezing the Most Out of ATM
Much energy is being devoted to studying the promising new asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) technology for supporting multiservice high-speed communication networks-e.g., see Roberts [39]. As indicated in [39], interest in ATM is stimulated by two factors: First, by new technology making it possible to transmit and switch at very high bandwidths; and, second, by the growing demand for more sophisticated and powerful communication services.
Modeling Multiple IP Traffic Streams
Two of the many many applications of queueing models in communications networks are sizing links in transport networks and buffers in routers. A fundamental part of a queueing model is the arrival process. A Markov-modulated Poisson process (MMPP) is an attractive model for describing backbone packet traffic.
Rumpelstiltskin LLP: Spinning 1 Junk Fax into Bars of Gold…or Pigs of Lead
In an effort to address a growing number of telephone marketing calls and certain other telemarketing practices thought to be invasions of privacy, Congress enacted the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (TCPA), codified at 47 U.S.C. § 227. We all know about the restrictions on unsolicited telemarketing calls..
