in this paper, downlink resource allocation for a sparse code multiple access (scma) based heterogeneous  cellular networks (hcn) is investigated. the main aim of this paper is to obtain joint power allocation and codebook assignment to achieve the least total system transmit power. in this regard, the proposed objective function is formulated as total transmit power subject to users minimum ra...

This paper proposes a new rate allocation method for MPEG-4 fine granularity scalable (FGS) video streaming, with which the received image quality can be smoothed during the streaming period. Although average bit rate allocation is quite simple, the image’s quality changes greatly between frames, which will result in quality fluctuation and degrade the streaming quality. In this paper the bits ...

Reliability allocation has an essential connection to design for reliability and is an important activity in the product design and development process. In determining the reliability of subsystems or components on the basis of goal reliability, attention must be paid to failure effect, failure information, and improvement opportunities based upon real potentials for reliability improvement. In...
