چکیده
The recent advent of e-contracting — examples include industry marketplaces and e-procurement systems of US automakers, e-auctions, and e-commerce — provides a natural stimulus for the study of the interaction of security and economic incentives. As security theorists have noted, (1) communication networks are only imperfectly secure and (2) the degree of insecurity depends on economic incentives.

Since contracting parties can neither control nor affect the occurrence of such risks, their allocation to a party would be inequitable. Therefore the cost overrun related to un...
متن کاملSoft Handoff Initiation Control in CDMA Cellular System
The capacity of CDMA systems is determined by the number of channel elements(CEs) or the amount of interference. Cell overloading may arise due to CE shortage in spite of small interference. We propose an improved soft handoff control which solves the cell overloading by contracting soft handoff region. The extent of the handoff region contraction is determined by considering the amount of othe...
