A micro-grid is an energy community having various Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) such as diesel engines, micro turbines, solar power, wind power, fuel cells and energy storage devices. The multi-agent architecture offers a hierarchical structure is very suitable for managing multi-individual and heterogeneous DERs in the micro-grid environment. This paper proposes a multi-agent architectu...

We consider energy efficient base station sleeping and clustering problems in cooperative cellular networks where clusters of base stations jointly transmit to users. Our key idea of energy saving is to exploit a spatio-temporal fluctuation of traffic demand, which is to use minimal energy to provide capacity only slightly greater than varying traffic demand. Then, energy saving is possible wit...

Carrier aggregation (CA) is considered as a key enabling technology to provide higher rates for users in LTE/5G networks. However, the increased transmission rate accompanied by energy consumption. The existing CA efficiency resource optimization allocation scheme 5G does not fully consider following two issues, namely, impact of delayed channel state information feedback on rationality and inc...

Saving information onto external resources can improve memory for subsequent information—a phenomenon known as the saving-enhanced effect. This article reports two preregistered online experiments investigating (A) whether this effect holds when to-be-remembered is presented before saved and (B) people choose most advantageous strategy given free choice of which to save. Participants studied li...

This paper presents a multi-agent based approach for the development of time table scheduling system for educational institutes. The information capturing and saving agent captures data from user and saves it into the database. The information publishing agent publishes information on the web site or sends to the users’ inboxes. The environment monitoring and processing agent monitors the envir...

BACKGROUND Saving groups are increasingly being used to save in many developing countries. However, there is limited literature about how they can be exploited to improve maternal and newborn health. OBJECTIVES This paper describes saving practices, factors that encourage and constrain saving with saving groups, and lessons learnt while supporting communities to save through saving groups. ...
