Barring and Rhythmic Accent

Energy Efficient Barring Factor Enabled Extended Access Barring for IoT Devices in LTE-Advanced

Synchronized Random Access Channel (RACH) attempts by Internet of Things (IoT) devices could result in Radio Access Network (RAN) overload in LTE-A. 3GPP adopted Barring Bitmap Enabled-Extended Access Barring (EAB-BB) mechanism that announces the EAB information (i.e., a list of barred Access Classes) through a barring bitmap as the baseline solution to mitigate the RAN overload. EAB-BB was ana...

Structural and Rhythmic Influences on the Occurrence of the Initial Accent in French

Previous studies have proposed that, along with the final accent, the French phonological system includes an Initial Accent which has rhythmic functions. Descriptions of English prosody propose that an early accent marks Major Phonological Phrases. The present study investigates the structural and rhythmic functions of IA in French at various levels of phonological structure. Results on the occ...

Dynamic Access Class barring and Relay Assisted Radio Resource Allocation

Dynamic Access Class Barring and Relay Assisted Radio Resource Allocation Methods for Cellular M2M Networks c © Lilatul Ferdouse, 2015 Master of Applied Science Electrical and Computer Engineering Ryerson University Cellular based M2M systems generate massive number of access requests which create congestion in the cellular network. The contention-based random access procedures are designed for...

Headmost Accent Wins Headmost Accent Wins Head Dominance and Ideal Prosodic Form in Lexical Accent Systems

ing away from details that are beyond the scope of the present discussion, the analysis develops as follows: all inflectional endings are extrametrical leaving the root as the main domain of stress assignment. A binary trochaic foot is aligned at the right edge of the root in words that surface with antepenultimate stress and a unary (monosyllabic) foot is aligned at the right edge in words wit...
