To fully exploit the benefits of heterogeneous network (HetNet), in which macro BSs (base stations) and small BSs coexist, the intercell interference mitigation and radio resource management has attracted general attention. We propose a cross-tier cooperative transmission strategy with precoding at downlink OFDMA resource block level, supported by macro BSs and small BSs ,to reduce the intercel...

In this paper, we researched on effects of knowledge resources to the enterprise cooperation innovation strategy select, and established an evolutionary game model of cooperative innovation between members of Virtual Industry Cluster. This study got some results like: the probability of cooperative strategy has positive correlation with income coefficient of knowledge resources and mutual confi...

This paper focuses on turbo packet combining for hybrid AF/DF multi-relay systems operating over multipleinput–multiple-output (MIMO) broadband channels. We consider virtual antenna based combining strategy that has been widely studied for the point-to-point hybrid ARQ. However, the extension of this combining strategy to hybrid AF/DF cooperative communications is not straightforward. In this p...

The iterated prisoner's dilemma (IPD) has been widely used in the biological and social sciences to model dyadic cooperation. While most of this work has focused on the discrete prisoner's dilemma, in which actors choose between cooperation and defection, there has been some analysis of the continuous IPD, in which actors can choose any level of cooperation from zero to one. Here, we analyse a ...

Stakeholder search is a general framework for an extension to the improving on the competition approach paradigm for cooperative search that allows for additional individual goals of the search agents. This framework defines a whole spectrum of possibilities for search systems. Based on a scheme defining interactions, search agents use a given strategy (ranging from cooperative to competitive) ...

Cooperative braking with regenerative braking and mechanical braking plays an important role in electric vehicles for energy-saving control. Based on the parallel and the series cooperative braking models, a combined model with a predictive control strategy to get a better cooperative braking performance is presented. The balance problem between the maximum regenerative energy recovery efficien...

This report describes an integrated, distributed fault management (IDFM) system for communication networks. The architecture is based on a distributed intelligent agent paradigm, with probabilistic networks as the framework for knowledge representation and evidence inferencing. A static strategy for generating the suggestive test sequence is proposed, based on which a heuristic dynamic strategy...

We consider a cognitive wireless network in which users adopt a spectrum sharing strategy based on cooperation constraints. The majority of cognitive radio schemes bifurcate the role of players as either cooperative or non-cooperative. In this work, however, we modify this strategy to one in which players are hybrid, i.e., both cooperative and non-cooperative. Using a Stackelberg game strategy,...

The study investigates the effect of cooperative and individualistic learning strategies on the academic performance of students in the general chemistry laboratory. The samples of the study were divided into experimental and control groups. The hypotheses were first generated and, after collecting data, analyzed by an analysis of t-test at an α = 0.05 level of significance. The findings reveal...
