Long Term Evolution (LTE) is well known as a cellular network that can support very high data rates in diverse traffic conditions. One way of achieving it is through packet scheduling which is the key scheme of Radio Resource Management (RRM) for LTE traffic processing that is functioning to allocate resources for both frequency and time dimensions. The main contribution of this paper is the de...

The unslotted Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) with backoff is a fully distributed, asynchronous Media Access Control (MAC) protocol for multiple-access Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) ring networks with simplicity and robustness comparable to those of Ethernet [1,2]. In this paper we present the results of performance evaluation of four scheduling algorit...

Group-fair learning methods typically seek to ensure that some measure of prediction efficacy for (often historically) disadvantaged minority groups is comparable the majority population. When a principal seeks adopt group-fair approach replace another, may face opposition from those who feel they be harmed by switch, and this, in turn, deter adoption. We propose potential mitigation this conce...

Measurement professionals cannot come to an agreement on the definition of the term „item fairness‟. In this paper a continuous measure of item unfairness is proposed. The more the unfairness measure deviates from zero, the less fair the item is. If the measure exceeds the cutoff value, the item is identified as definitely unfair. The new approach can identify unfair items that would not be ide...

Motivated by various applications from Internet congestion control to power control in smart grids and electric vehicle charging, we study Generalized Additive Increase Multiplicative Decrease (G-AIMD) dynamics under impulsive control in continuous time with the time average alpha-fairness criterion. We first show that the control under relaxed constraints can be described by a threshold. Then,...

Ensuring fairness in the allocation of free channels to Secondary Users (SUs) in a Cognitive Radio Network (CRN) is a big problem for researchers. In this work, we develop a new algorithm, explaining the parameters of channel assignment, by identifying the SU, the number of packets to send and the slots and channels to use. To calculate the effectiveness of the algorithm, we use the Equity Inde...

Accuracy and individual fairness are both crucial for trustworthy machine learning, but these two aspects often incompatible with each other so that enhancing one aspect may sacrifice the inevitably side effects of true bias or false fairness. We propose in this paper a new criterion, accurate fairness, to align accuracy. Informally, it requires treatments an individual's similar counterparts c...

In this paper, we studied a hybrid wireless network including UWB devices and WiFi devices together and analyze the characteristics of selfish behavior and the methods how to expose it. In order to improve the self-giving cooperation between the nodes in hybrid wireless networks and increase the fairness index of the whole networks, a security mechanism was proposed in this paper. The punishmen...
