UT ECE Ph.D. student Bilal Sadiq and Professor Gustavo de Veciana are recipients of the best paper award at 22nd International Teletraffic Congress (ITC) held in Amsterdam this year. Their work entitled Balancing SRPT Prioritization versus Opportunistic Gain in Wireless Systems with Flow Dynamics addresses a fundamental question regarding the best possible achievable performance for file transfer or web browsing traffic on wireless systems. This research was funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation.
