We propose a decentralized downlink scheduling protocol for wireless cellular networks that allows each base station to control its transmission power. On the beginning of each scheduling period, neighbor base stations exchange their local system states, i.e., channel, traffic and position statistics of their local mobile users. But on each slot of the current scheduling period, the base statio...

This paper presents a novel approach to investigate ergodic mutual information of OFDMA Selection-Decode-and-Forward (SDF) cooperative relay networks with imperfect channel state information (CSI). Relay stations are either dedicated or non-dedicated (i.e., subscriber stations assisting other subscriber stations). The CSI imperfection is modeled as an additive random variable with known statist...

On 22 October 2002, a frontal system entered South Australia (SA), and over the next 36 hours associated strong winds raised dust over a wide region of eastern Australia, from central SA, extending eastwards and northeastwards through SA, New South Wales (NSW) and Queensland (Qld) (see Figs 1 and 2 for locations referred to in the text). Forty-six Bureau of Meteorology synoptic observing statio...

Objective: An increasing number of studies have reported on shifts in timing and length of the growing season, based on phonological, satellite and climatologically studies. Changes in the timing and length of the growing season (GSL) may not only have far reaching consequences for plant and animal ecosystems, but persistent increases in GSL may lead to long-term increases in carbon storage and...
