美国工程院院士P.R.Kumar报告会

报告题目：Wireless packets with deadlines

时间：5月12日（周一）下午3:00-4:30

地点：科学馆207

主办：电子与信息工程学院

报告内容简介：

There is increasing need for supporting delay sensitive tasks over wireless. Can one characterize what kind of per-packet delay guarantees can be provided to flows over an unreliable medium like wireless, and how to support such flows? We provide a model that provides several interesting and sometimes surprising answers.
