multicast routing is one of the most important services in multi radio multi channel (mrmc) wireless mesh networks (wmn). multicast routing performance in wmns could be improved by choosing the best routes and the routes that have minimum interference to reach multicast receivers. in this paper we want to address the multicast routing problem for a given channel assignment in wmns. the channels...

many appealing multicast services such as on-demand tv, teleconference, online games and etc. can benefit from high available bandwidth in multi-radio multi-channel wireless mesh networks. when multiple simultaneous transmissions use a similar channel to transmit data packets, network performance degrades to a large extant. designing a good multicast tree to route data packets could enhance the...

in recent years, the issue of energy consumption modeling techniques in the building sector has been widely considered by researchers and managers. researches indicate that energy consumption in residential sector is one of the main parts of the total consumption. moreover, the urban residence is supposed as a significant consumer of energy in every country and therefore a focus for energy cons...

mobile-ad-hoc-networks (manets) are self-configuring networks of mobile nodes, which communicate through wireless links. the infrastructure of a mobile ad hoc network (manet) has no routers for routing, and all nodes must share the same routing protocol to assist each other when transmitting messages. the main issues in manets include the mobility of the network nodes, the scarcity of computati...

One of the most important goals of disaster management teams is to protect the assets and infrastructures of the community in the event of accidents such as wildfires and floods. This issue requires appropriate operations of all disaster management teams and analysis of available information for suitable decision making and consequently timely response. A mixed integer mathematical model is pre...

The People’s Republic of China (PRC) has taken bold actions to utilize low-grade industrial excess heat improve energy efficiency districting heating systems since 2016. This study aims draw policy insights into the PRC’s field experience with overcoming barriers financing. First, we investigate split incentives, third-party access, and lack resource mapping as key investing in district project...

The covering of a graph with (possibly disjoint) connected subgraphs is fundamental problem in theory. In this paper, we study version to cover graph's vertices by subject lower and upper weight bounds, propose column generation approach dynamically generate feasible promising subgraphs. Our focus on the solution pricing which turns out be variant NP-hard Maximum Weight Connected Subgraph Probl...
