— Spectrum sensing is a key enabling functionality in cognitive radio (CR) networks, where the CRs act as secondary users that opportunistically access free frequency bands. Due ...
This paper addresses initial ranging (uplink synchronization and power control) for TDD OFDMA systems. Exploiting the channel knowledge from the downlink channel together with ini...
Utility functions can be used to represent the value users attach to job completion as a function of turnaround time. Most previous scheduling research used simple synthetic repre...
