flexible ac transmission systems (facts) controllers with its ability to directly control the power flow can offer great opportunities in modern power system, allowing better and safer operation of transmission network. in this paper, in order to find type, size and location of facts devices in a power system a dedicated improved particle swarm optimization (dipso) algorithm is developed for de...

This study addresses resource allocation for weighted sum throughput maximisation (WSTM) in a sectorised two-cell downlink orthogonal frequency-division multiple access systems impaired by multicell interference. It is well known that the optimisation problem for this scenario is NP-hard and combinational, which is here converted to a novel WSTM problem based on the intercell interference limit...

The outage probability (OP) performance of multiple-relay incremental-selective decode-and-forward (ISDF) relaying mobile-to-mobile (M2M) sensor networks with transmit antenna selection (TAS) over N-Nakagami fading channels is investigated. Exact closed-form OP expressions for both optimal and suboptimal TAS schemes are derived. The power allocation problem is formulated to determine the optima...

In this paper, aiming to improve the quality of multimedia transmission while satisfying the quality of service (QoS) requirements, we propose an optimal subcarrier allocation by jointly considering the video coding rate and the available power resource. We jointly analyses the effects on the performance of multimedia transmission from video coding rate at the application layer as well as the p...

Abstract— In a multiple input single output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MISO OFDM) system, per-subcarrier antenna selection is employed to improve the data rate over frequency selective fading channels. The antenna selection is based on the channel gain and the power balancing is achieved through allocating equal number of subcarriers to each antenna. This scheme of antenna sele...

In a de-regulated open access environment, reactive power is one of the ancillary services which must be provided by an Independent System Operator (ISO). In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed in which reactive power resources are initially so tuned that optimum security in terms of voltage profile and voltage stability are achieved while at the same time, the system losses are minimized. ...

Bitand power allocation techniques for Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems are investigated for minimizing the overall bit-error rate (BER) at a fixed data rate. In this work optimal power allocation (PA) technique based on the Lagrange multiplier method is studied and compared with suboptimal solutions. Our results obtained by computer simulations show that power allocation works ver...

In this paper, optimal power allocation and relay selection strategies in energy harvesting cooperative wireless networks are studied. In particular, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)-maximizing based power allocation and relay selection without and with energy cooperation—via wireless energy transfer—are considered. Moreover, total relay power minimization subject to target end-to-end SNR is investi...
