In wireless communications, power allocation plays a paramount role in sustainable network lifetime prolongation with quality-of-service and network interference reduction. This paper investigates a distributed power allocation problem in wireless parallel amplify-and-forward (AF) relay transmissions. Particularly, the objective is set to minimize the total transmit power while guaranteeing the...

In a deregulated environment of the power market, in order to lower their energy price and guarantee the stability of the power network, appropriate transmission lines have to be considered for electricity generators to sell their energy to the end users. This paper proposes a game-theoretic power transmission scheduling for multiple generators to lower their wheeling cost. Based on the embedde...

Total energy consumption of video game consoles has grown rapidly in the past few decades due to rapid increases in market penetration, power consumption of the devices, and increasing usage driven by new capabilities. Unfortunately, studies investigating the energy impacts of these devices have been limited and potential responses, such as ENERGY STAR requirements, have been difficult to defin...

We formulate two versions of the power control problem for wireless networks with latency constraints arising from duty cycle allocations In the first version, strategic power optimization, wireless nodes are modeled as rational agents in a power game, who strategically adjust their powers to minimize their own energy. In the other version, joint power optimization, wireless nodes jointly minim...

In this paper, a game theoretic relay load balancing and power allocationscheme is proposed for downlink transmission in a decode-and-forward orthogonal frequency division multiple access-based cellular relay network. A system with a base station communicating with multiple users via multiple relays is considered. The relays have limited power, which must be divided among the users they support...

A dynamical systems game model of market, called Outwit Game, is proposed. In the game, individual behavior in a market is abstracted as orienting majority and orienting minority. We suppose that individuals’ profit changes with a course of these two actions. Through computer simulations, we show that an index representing both micro and macro dynamics show a power law distribution.

This study investigated players’ motivation during serious game play. It is based on a theoretical model of motivation (John Keller's ARCS model of motivation) and EEG measures. Statistical analysis showed a significant increase of motivation during the game. Moreover, results of power spectral analysis showed EEG waves patterns correlated with increase of motivation during different parts of s...

Rational planning of thermal power capacity is one of the main measures to reduce emissions. According to air pollution control plan, different environmental capacity regions provide different constraints to the scale of thermal power plants. With the development of electric market, unified relationship among thermal power plants has been changed to gambling one. To solve the above new problems...

This paper describes a novel interaction technique that recognizes a finger flicking gesture for power adjustment input for a sports game, such as golf swing or hitting. Our system measures speed of the finger motion and direction of the gesture by using a high-speed camera and a high frame rate image processing technique. By using this system, users can adjust power and angle intuitively. We d...
