—In the last few years, long-distance WiFi networks have been used to provide Internet connectivity in rural areas. The strong requirement to support real-time applications in th...
—This paper deals with the analytical evaluation of the average delay, the packet-loss rate (PLR) and the throughput of a multi-user (MU) wireless system that capitalizes on a cr...
Abstract— Emerging spread spectrum high-speed data networks utilize multiple channels via orthogonal codes or frequency-hopping patterns such that multiple users can transmit con...
In this work we extend the work of Dean, Kaelbling, Kirman and Nicholson on planning under time constraints in stochastic domains to handle more complicated scheduling problems. I...
A well-studied problem in the electric power industry is that of optimally scheduling preventative maintenance of power generating units within a power plant. We show how these pr...
