A recently proposed global congestion measure for CDMA networks is applied to call admission control, call dropping, and band allocation in multi-carrier CDMA networks. It is shown to perform comparably with existing techniques for call dropping, and better than existing techniques for admission control and band allocation. Difficulties arising in the measurement of this parameter are also inve...

The IEEE 802.11 standard for ad hoc networks uses a distributed access mechanism in the shared medium that attempts to avoid collisions by perforrning carrier sensing, inter-frame spaces, and a backoff mechanism. This paper aims at deriving an analytical expression for the maximum throughput of a communication between two nodes. The communication is achieved in a multi-hop scenario and the path...

Ad Hoc and Mesh networks are good samples of multi agent systems, where their nodes access the channel through carrier sense multiple access method, while a node channel access influence the access of neighbor nodes to the channel. Hence, game theory is a strong tool for studying this kind of networks. Carrier sense multiple access parameters such as minimum and maximum size of contention windo...

One of the most important and typical application of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is target tracking. Although target tracking, can provide benefits for large-scale WSNs and organize them into clusters but tracking a moving target in cluster-based WSNs suffers a boundary problem. The main goal of this paper was to introduce an efficient and novel mobility management protocol namely Target Tr...

Wireless multi-hop networks are expected to become important building blocks of future communication networks. With increasing deployment and utilization of such networks, analytic performance models for the analysis of important metrics, in particular throughput, will become necessary. The deployed medium access control (MAC) mechanism has a significant impact on this metric, and Carrier Sense...

the environmental rules of reverse logistic networks have caused important economic growth in the past decades. to integrate forward logistic networks with reverse logistics networks a helpful method is to design both networks simultaneously. considering more retrieval choices in modeling reverse logistic systems can be very critical. this article contains a mixed integer linear programming mod...

Attempts to model any present or future power grid face a huge challenge because a power grid is a complex system, with feedback and multi-agent behaviors, integrated by generation, distribution, storage and consumption systems, using various control and automation computing systems to manage electricity flows. Our approach to modeling is to build upon an established model of the low voltage el...
