This paper aims at investigating the superiority of power allocation strategies, based on calculus of variations in a point-to-point two-way relay-assisted channel incorporating the amplify and forward strategy. Single and multilayer coding strategies for two cases of having and not having the channel state information (CSI) at the transmitters are studied, respectively. Using the notion of cal...

background although liver transplantation is the last resort for treating end stage liver diseases, this medical procedure is not available for all needful patients because of inadequate organ supply. therefore, guidelines have been developed by medical experts to regulate the process. some professionals believe that medical criteria are inadequate for organ allocation in all situations and may...

This paper presents a combinatorial algorithm for downlink rate allocation in Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) mobile networks. By discretizing the coverage area into small segments, the transmit power requirements are characterized via a matrix representation that separates user and system characteristics. We obtain a closed-form analytical expression for the so-called Perron-Frobenius eig...

The allocation of subcarriers and power to users is an important issue for exploiting the advantages of OFDMA systems. The main objective of the traditional OFDMA uplink resource allocation focuses on two aspects: one is to maximize the transmission rate of each user, the other is to minimize power. In this paper, we proposed the joint subcarrier and power allocation in the uplink of an OFDMA s...

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...

We consider a two-server queueing system in which the servers choose their service rate based on the demand and holding cost allocation scheme offered by the demand generating entity. We provide an optimal holding cost allocation scheme that leads to the maximum possible service rate for each of a pooled and a split system. Our results suggest that careful allocation of holding costs can create...
