TL;DR: This study presented a network and device-aware Quality of Service (QoS) approach that provides multimedia data suitable for a terminal unit environment via interactive mobile streaming services, further considering the overall network environment and adjusting the interactive transmission frequency and the dynamic multimedia transcoding, to avoid the waste of bandwidth and terminal power.

TL;DR: The approach allows bandwidth limited mobile users to acquire live multimedia streaming from desktop users, directly based on their social relationships rather than from the cloud, and designs protocols for both desktop and mobile users and evaluates them with numerical examples.

TL;DR: A multi-stage interactive genetic algorithm (MS-IGA) is proposed, which divides the large population of the traditional interactive genetic method into several stages according to different functional requirements, and introduces genetic sense units, which represent different functional modules, in order to realize the customers' collaborative design.

TL;DR: An independent regional connectivity model is presented in the context of sensor networks to guarantee global connectivity with satisfied quality of data service and the optimization of sensing coverage and regional connectivity in an industrial IoT system in both deterministic and random deployment.

TL;DR: The market equilibria is derived and it is shown that when a firm’s core product has a sufficient advantage in product quality, it is better for this firm to sell the bundle but for the other to use free strategy, and that the profitability of the firm that offers a free product always increases in network effects intensity and market size, but this is not the case for the company that sells the bundle.
