This paper deals with power allocation strategies in a wireless personal area network (WPAN) supporting the IEEE 802.15.4 standard for low power transmission. The proposed transmission strategy for nodes belonging to a single primary route towards a destination is referred as Multihop Cooperative Transmission Chain (MCTC). The MCTC is based on the relays of the same message by multiple terminal...

the task of optimally assigning military ordinance to enemy targets, often termed weapon target allocation (wta) problem, has become a major focus of modern military thought where a cost effective allocation is required without degrading the required kill performance. the paper presents three main weapon allocation techniques namely uniform weapon allocation, first-in-first weapon allocation an...

The London Plan, the Greater Authority’s spatial development strategy for London, has defined Heathrow as an Opportunity Area – area with capacity to support additional homes and jobs since 2004, but progress on developing been minimal. Uncertainty around expansion of Airport appears have adversely affected progress. Nevertheless, most recent Plan stipulates that should accommodate 13,000 new 1...

Task allocation is crucial for autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) collaboration in multi-AUV maritime search and rescue missions. In real projects, there are possible target areas existing task areas, which not expected to be divided. Motivated by such a special situation, this paper proposes an area partitioning method allocate the multiple AUVs maintain as whole. First, spatial structure of ...

We present a novel technique for datapath allocation, which incorporates interconnection area and delay estimates based on dynamic oorplanning. In this approach, datapath area is minimized by minimizing the number of wires, routing tracks, and multiplexers, while performance is optimized by minimizing wire length. The simultaneous optimization of these physical cost metrics allows the system to...

Orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), which is widely used in the wireless sensor networks, allows different users to obtain different subcarriers according to their subchannel gains. Therefore, how to assign subcarriers and power to different users to achieve a high system sum rate is an important research area in OFDMA systems. In this paper, the focus of study is on the rate...

Cloud computing is an attractive computing model since it allows for the provision of resources on-demand. Such a process of allocation and reallocation of resources is thekey to accommodating unpredictable demands and improving the return on investment from the infrastructure supporting the Cloud. Cloud computing booming area and emerging trends in information communication technology domain. ...

A new figure of merit under area constraints is proposed for designing optimum performance differential input stage of a two-stage compensated operational amplifier. Figure of Merit, FoM2 is defined that includes the three small signal performance parameters, namely input-referred noise, unitygain bandwidth and differential dc gain. Expressions for these parameters in terms of area assigned, ha...

Resource allocation in distributed systems is an exciting area of research. Inherent properties in this environment, such as strategic users acting selfishly and the structure of the environment within which exchanges occur, are relevant challenges to study. This paper proposes a market–based resource allocation in a distributed environment. Our model has as it is objective the exploration of t...

Resource management and scheduling plays a crucial role in achieving high utilization of resources in grid computing environments. Due to heterogeneity of resources, scheduling an application is significantly complicated and challenging task in grid system. Most of the researches in this area are mainly focused on to improve the performance of the grid system. There were some allocation model h...
