We address the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of transmission signals in OFDM and consider the performance of tone reservation for reduction of the PAPR. Tone reservation is unique among methods for reducing PAPR, because it does not affect information bearing coefficients and involves no additional coordination of transmitter and receiver. It is shown that if the OFDM system always satisfi...

introduction: users of hospital information system know its problems better than others. studying their views are very important and can be especially effective in the development of the information system. the aim of this study was to investigate the users' views towards the quality of hospital information system in the training hospitals of mashhad university of medical sciences. methods: the...

Reservation-based (as opposed to contention-based) channel access in WLANs provides predictable and deterministic transmission and is therefore able to provide timeliness guarantees for wireless and embedded real-time applications. Also, reservation-based channel access is energy-efficient since a wireless adaptor is powered on only during its exclusive channel access times. While scheduling fo...

A video-on-demand (VoD) system allows a viewer to choose a video of his choice such as movies, electronic encyclopedia, or educational videos, which is delivered to him real time via a network. This paper is a performance study of a distributed video server system in a fully connected backbone network. Under the assumptions of uniform loading and symmetrical network, analytical models are propo...

We propose a forward resource reservation (FRR) scheme to reduce the data burst delay at edge nodes in optical burst switching (OBS) systems. We also explore algorithms to implement the various intrinsic features of the FRR scheme. Linear predictive filter (LPF)-based methods are investigated and demonstrated to be effective for dynamic burst-length prediction. An aggressive resource reservatio...

We consider a class of well-known dynamic resource allocation models in loss network systems with advanced reservation. The most important performance measure in any loss network system is to compute its blocking probability, i.e., the probability of an arriving customer in equilibrium finds a fully utilized system (thereby getting rejected by the system). In this paper, we derive upper bounds ...

The prevailing labor market models assume that minimum wages do not affect the labor supply schedule. We challenge this view in this paper by showing experimentally that minimum wages have significant and lasting effects on subjects’ reservation wages. The temporary introduction of a minimum wage leads to a rise in subjects’ reservation wages which persists even after the minimum wage has been ...

<span>One of the major problems that faces any wireless communication system apply multicarrier modulation technology is large Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR). There are divers PAPR reduction methods to solve this problem. Tone Reservation (TR) scheme one most famous techniques in which a peak cancelling signal added original such way will reduce. Companding another easy technique comp...
