Non-human animals can acquire novel route preferences by following knowledgeable individuals. Such socially learned route preferences can be stably maintained over multiple transmission episodes, sometimes forming long-lived traditions. In humans, preferences for familiar routes or heavily used worn trails over unfamiliar ones have been described in various contexts. However, social learning of...

| The objective of this paper is to determine the minimum system dropping rate induced by variable frame TDMA schemes supporting time-constrained applications with common maximum cell delay tolerance. Expressions are derived for the induced (optimal) system dropping rate and the maximum number of users that can be admitted in the network without violating the maximum dropping rate constrain is ...
