To maximize end user satisfaction, Wireless multimedia application needs the communication networks to allocate resources dynamically. Cross layer framework design offers a solution to this problem. In this paper, a cross layer framework design strategy optimizes the application, physical and MAC layers jointly for video streaming. An efficient FEC mechanism to combat channel errors is chosen b...

In keyword auctions, advertisers bid for keywords. Currently, bids and allocations are made on a per keyword basis. We show that this mechanism is neither efficient nor truthful under demand or budget constraints and provide a truthful efficient (quasi) polynomial mechanism for allocating keywords under budget constraints. As a side effect our proposed mechanism has higher revenue than the curr...

With rapid development of the Internet of Things, more and more smart devices are deployed in the physical space. A physical application is composed by several smart devices which provide physical data. The physical applications need appropriate physical information processing systems to process the related data. However, the physical applications are dynamic because of the ever-changing demand...

A method to predict the column size for displacement based design of reinforced concrete frame buildings with higher target inter storey drift is reported here. The column depth derived from empirical relation as a function of given beam section, target inter-story drift, building plan features and common displacement based design parameters is used. Regarding the high drift requirement, a mini...
