We congratulate PhD-student Jawad Rasool for receiving "Best Poster Award" at the VERDIKT Conference in Oslo.

Title: “Improving the Throughput Guarantees Offered in Wireless Networks.”
Authors: Jawad Rasool and Geir E. Øien
Conference: The VERDIKT Conference 2010
Time and place: November 1-2, 2010, in Oslo


About the Poster Presentation:

With real-time traffic transmitted over wireless networks, the need for more exact quality of service (QoS) measures is in the interests of both network operators and customers. A QoS measure well suited to quantify QoS guarantees exactly is a throughput guarantee, i.e., how many bits a user is guaranteed to transmit/receive within a time-window. This poster presentation focuses on two main issues. 1) How can we quantify the throughput guarantees for a certain scheduling algorithm without conducting experimental investigations? 2) How can we maximize the throughput guarantees offered in a wireless network?

About the VERDIKT Conference:

VERDIKT's vision is that Norwegian ICT research will put Norway at the forefront of the development and application of knowledge to enhance interaction, innovation and value creation in the ICT-based network community. The VERDIKT conference serves as a meeting place where researchers from academia and industry can present their projects and results, and meet new colleagues.
