Integrated community energy systems (ICESs) are a modern development of local by integrating distributed resources and communities. Cost allocation is one the key issues affecting success ICESs. Costs should be allocated to those who cause them, benefits make investments. A well-designed cost approach will therefore contribute successful implementation sustainable This paper presents general fr...

Growth patterns of fish result from their energy allocation strategy, life stages and the environmental conditions in which they reside. Temperature, for example, can potentially drive size-dependent metabolic rates, then influence physiological functions such as food consumption leading to growth variation (Barneche & Allen, 2018; Madenjian et al., 2018). Previous studies suggest that common t...

Biomedical sensors (BMSs) monitor the heterogeneous vital signs of patients. They have diverse Quality of Service (QoS) requirements including reduced collision, delay, loss, and energy consumption in the transmission of data, which are non-constrained, delay-constrained, reliability-constrained, and critical. In this context, this paper proposes a traffic priority-aware adaptive slot allocatio...

Device-to-device (D2D) communications have gained great attentions due to the potential and numerous benefits for cellular networks. However,it also brings tremendous resource allocation challenges for the sake of the constraint of battery life. Up to now, there are limited works attempt to prolong the battery life by improving the energy efficiency (EE). In this paper, we study how to perform ...
