A joint source-channel coding (JSCC) scheme for robust progressive image transmission over broadband wireless channels using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) syste...
Abstract--In this paper we study a broad class of semiMarkovian queues introduced by Sengupta. This class contains many classical queues such as the GI/M/1 queue, SM/MAP/1 queue an...
We study Timed Branching Processes (TBPs), a natural extension of (multitype) Branching Processes (BPs) where each entity is equipped with a finite set of private continuous variab...
: We study a simple general scenario of ad hoc networks based on IEEE 802.11 wireless communications, consisting in a chain of transmitters, each of them being in the carrier sense...
Group elevator scheduling has received considerable attention due to its importance to transportation efficiency for mid-rise and high-rise buildings. One important trend to improv...
