With the need for mobility comes stringent quality of service requirements that have to be met before users are able to roam seamlessly across different network infrastructures. In this paper we investigate the use of a handover-based call admission
This paper aims at improving the power efficiency of the CSMA/CA protocol for transmission of multimedia information over multihop wireless channels. Using a distance dependent propagation model, we present a power control scheme, which is based on the
This paper extends the conventional link-centric aggregate utility maximization framework to a situation of users (applications) with diverse delay as well as rate requirements. Assuming that user utility is a function of the average transmission rate as
This paper sets out a usability engineering framework of processes that were applied to user-centered studies of digital natives interacting with virtual environments (VE) and with each other while playing cooperative and competitive serious games in VEs
A survey of current wind engineering practices and their reflection in codes and standards reveals the existence of areas in which substantial progress needs to be made and are now possible. These areas belong to micrometerology, wind climatology
