Enforcing Minimum-Cost Multicast Routing against Selfish Information Flows

Abstract:

We study multicast in a noncooperative environment where information flows selfishly route themselves through the cheapest paths available. The main challenge is to enforce such selfish multicast flows to stabilize at a socially optimal operating point incurring minimum total edge cost, through appropriate cost allocation and other economic measures, with replicable and encodable properties of information flows considered. We show that known cost a ....etc

Abstract—In this paper, the problem of efficient distributed power control via convex pricing of users' transmission power in the uplink of CDMA wireless networks supporting multiple services is addressed. Each user is associated with a nested utility function, which appropriately represents his degree of satisfaction in relation to the expected trade-off between his QoS-aware actual uplink throughput performance and the corresponding power consumption. Initially, a Multiservice Uplink Power Control game (MSUPC) is formulated, where each user ....etc

Distributed power control and spreading gain allocation
in CDMA data networks
Abstract
We study the radio resource allocation problem of distributed joint transmission power control
and spreading gain allocation in a DS-CDMA mobile data network. The network consists of
K base stations and M wireless data users. The data streams generated by the users are treated
as best-effort traffic, in the sense that there are no prespecified constraints on the quality of the
radio channels. We are interested in designing a distributed algorit ....etc

Experts agree that the biggest drain of energy takes place when a vehicle blasts off, pushing through Earth?s gravitational pull requires great amounts of fuel, but once they get out of our atmosphere, the rest is easy.

If you could cut out that ?blast off? portion, space travel would be easier and much more fuel-efficient.

In a Space Elevator scenario, a Maglev vehicle would zoom up the side of an exceedingly tall structure and end up at a transfer point where they?d then board a craft to the Moon, Mars, or any other distant destination ....etc

Low Energy Efficient Wireless Communication Network Design

Energy efficient wireless communication network design is an important and challenging problem. It is important because mobile units operate on batteries with energy supply. It is challenging because there are many different issues that must be dealt with when designing a low energy wireless communication system (such as amplifier design, coding, and modulation design), and these issues are coupled with one another. Furthermore, the design and operation of each component of a wireles ....etc

Every parent wants the best in the world for their child....but how would it be if parents could choose the sex of
their child? How would it be if intelligence, beauty, even the body type, colour of hair and eyes etc. was just a
matter of choice? With the advance in genetic engineeri ....etc

INTRODUCTION
The name Tiptronic was created by Porsche, who made the first such transmission, but it also can refer to similar transmission systems from other manufacturers, tiptronic transmission is the latest innovation in the field of automatic power transmission systems, which combines the both worlds of transmissions, manual and automatic. A tiptronic transmission is an automatic transmission that can be controlled like a manual transmission. In a standard automatic transmission, a computer selects whi ....etc
