: Wireless sensor/actuator networks (WSANs) are emerging as a new generation of sensor networks. Serving as the backbone of control applications, WSANs will enable an unprecedented...
Abstract--A delay-constrained scheduling problem for pointto-point communication is considered: a packet of B bits must be transmitted by a hard deadline of T slots over a timevary...
Multimedia uploaded content is tagged and recommended by users of collaborative systems, resulting in informal classifications also known as folksonomies. Faceted web ranking has ...
Dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) is one of the most effective techniques for reducing energy consumption in embedded and real-time systems. However, traditional DVS algorithms have in...
This paper studies the performance of hybrid-ARQ (automatic repeat request) in Rayleigh blockfading channels. The long-term average transmitted rate is analyzed in a fast-fading s...
