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: 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.

TL;DR: A new cloud-based WMSN is proposed to efficiently deal with multimedia sharing and distribution and motivates the use of cloud computing and social contexts in sharing live streaming and formulate the bandwidth allocation problem in a gametheoretical framework that is further implemented in a distributed manner.

TL;DR: A coverage-guaranteed distributed sleep/wake scheduling scheme is presented with the purpose of prolonging network lifetime while guaranteeing network coverage, and results illustrate that CDSWS outperforms some other existed algorithms in terms of coverage guarantee, algorithm efficiency and energy conservation.

TL;DR: A novel niching scheme called the q-nearest neighbors replacement (q-NNR) method in the framework of the steady-state GAs (SSGAs) for solving binary multimodal optimization problems.
