In this paper, we propose a location-aware relay selection (LARS) scheme based on geographical information in the distributed opportunistic relay (OR) communication system. The scheme aims to limit the contention among potential relays through divid

In this letter, we analyze the drawback of tail-dropping contention resolution in optical burst switched networks. Once contention occurs, we adopt modified head-dropping policy to resolve contention. This policy drops the head of the contending burs
