Spectrum reservation is emerging as one of the potential solutions to cater for the communication needs of massive number of wireless Internet of Things (IoT) devices with reliability constraints particularly in mission-critical scenarios. In most mission-critical systems, the true utility of a reservation may not be completely known ahead of time as the unforseen events might not be completely...

We study the regulation of one-way station-based vehicle sharing systems through parking reservation policies. We measure the performance of these systems in terms of the total excess travel time of all users caused as a result of vehicle or parking space shortages. We devise mathematical programming based bounds on the total excess travel time of vehicle sharing systems under any passive regul...

In terms of delivery of compressed videos, two service categories are frequently considered, namely, deterministic and statistic. It is a general belief that the statistic service can achieve more efficient bandwidth utilization than the deterministic one due to its statistically multiplexing streams. In this paper, we, however, investigate the possibility of applying the multiplexing principle...

Title of dissertation: EQUILIBRIUM ANALYSIS AND CONTROL FOR DESIGN OF PACKET RESERVATION MULTIPLE ACCESS PROTOCOLS Amirali Sharifi, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Dissertation directed by: Professor Eyad H. Abed Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering The Packet Reservation Multiple Access (PRMA) protocol and its variants have been considered as possible access schemes for communication m...

In this paper, a new Markovian model is developed to analyze the Packet Reservation Multiple Access (PRMA) protocol over Rician fading channels with lognormal shadowing. The packet dropping probability and the voice user capacity are defined as the performance measures. A new formula is derived to evaluate the dropping probability in the fading environment. The analytical results from our new f...

The caste system among Muslim society has long been an ignorant point of debate in academia. But recent times it emerged as a thoughtful discourse. sociological study finds that India is divided into three major social groups, Ashraf, Ajlaf, and Arzal. Most Muslims belong to the latter two groups. present attempt give insight Arzal known Shekhra. Shekhra occupational history bone picking. artic...
