In this paper we propose a framework for an energy efficient scheduler for multiuser SCFDMAwith queue state information (QSI) and quality of service (QoS) constraints. Resource allocation is formulated as a two-stage problemwhere resources are allocated in both time and frequency. The scheduling policy is obtained in two stages for the intraand inter-user allocations respectively. A near optima...

In the field, plants are exposed to fluctuating light, where photosynthesis occurs under conditions far from a steady state. Excess energy dissipation associated with energy quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence (qE) functions as an efficient photo-protection mechanism in photosystem II. PsbS is an important regulator of qE, especially for the induction phase of qE. Beside the regulatory energy...

this paper demonstrates a method to how reserve capacity and cost allocation could be determined in a pool-based and disaggregated market model. the method considers both the spinning reserve and interruptible loads as the operating reserve services. in the proposed market, generators and consumers (including participation of interruptible loads) submit offers and bids to the independent system...

We focus on energy-efficient resource allocation with quality of service (QoS) guarantee for orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) based wireless cellular networks with decode-andforward (DF) relaying. The joint transmission mode selection, subcarrier allocation and power control for the energy efficiency (EE) maximization problem is formulated as a non-convex and combinatorial ...

—Efficiently using scarce energy is more critical for the nodes which are supplied by energy harvesting. However, it is difficult to optimize the transmit energy of each retransmission when future Channel State Information (CSI) and accurate retransmission number cannot be obtained in Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) system. In this paper, we propose a novel HARQ scheme to allocate the b...

Across taxa, many life-history traits vary as a function of differences in body size. Among primates, including humans, allometric relationships explain many trends in metabolic, growth, reproductive, and mortality rates. But humans also deviate from nonhuman primates with respect to other developmental, reproductive, and parenting characteristics. Broad relationships between life-history trait...

This paper investigates energy efficient power allocation scheme for OFDM-based cognitive opportunistic relaying links (CORL), where secondary users (SUs) may incorrectly sense the unlicensed spectrum and hence transmit data in collision. We aim to maximize the energy efficiency (EE) by optimal and low complexity power allocation design. At first, an energy efficient power allocation optimizati...
