TL;DR: Performance evaluation of Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC) in downlink of an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) network, considering Partial Usage of Sub-channels (PUSC) suggests better performance for AMC over individual MCS in all channel environments.
Abstract: 3 Abstract: The recent demand for higher data rate services from wireless network users is overwhelming. Social media influx as well as the proliferation of broadband enabled smart-phones, tablet computers and other newly improved wireless devices has erupted a new trend in wireless network traffic need where average capacity and speed is no longer appreciable. In order to cope with this trend in traffic requirement, wireless network operators are considering a gradual rollover of an existing third generation (3G) network to a fourth generation (4G) network with orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) based technologies such as Fourth Generation Long Term Evolution (4G LTE) and Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX). This paper is devoted to the performance evaluation of Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC) in downlink of an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) network, considering Partial Usage of Sub-channels (PUSC). By using MATLAB Simulink and Origin 61, the performance of Bit Error Rate (BER) and Spectral Efficiency in two channel environments, i.e. non-fading and fading channels were examined. Results suggest better performance for AMC over individual MCS in all channel environments. Moreover, non-fading Addictive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channels significantly perform better than fading (Rayleigh and Rician) channels. In Rician channel environment, however, flat fading Rician channels perform better than frequency selective Rician channel which interestingly records a degraded performance against Rayleigh channels.

TL;DR: This paper deals with an integrated strategy of staff capacity management and bed allocation planning to tackle the problems of rising cost of healthcare services and its modeled as an integer linear programming problem.
Abstract: Hospital is a very important institution to provide health care for people. It is not surprising that nowadays the people's demands for hospital is increasing.. However, due to the rising cost of healthcare services, hospitals need to consider efficiencies in order to overcome these two problems. This paper deals with an integrated strategy of staff capacity management and bed allocation planning to tackle these problems. Mathematically, the strategy can be modeled as an integer linear programming problem. We solve the model using a direct neighborhood search approach, based on the notion of superbasic variables.

TL;DR: The technical medium access control and physical layer features of the IEEE standard 802.16, with its WirelessMAN/sup TM/ air interface, sets the stage for widespread and effective deployments worldwide.
Abstract: The broadband wireless access industry, which provides high-rate network connections to stationary sites, has matured to the point at which it now has a standard for second-generation wireless metropolitan area networks. The IEEE standard 802.16, with its WirelessMAN/sup TM/ air interface, sets the stage for widespread and effective deployments worldwide. This article overviews the technical medium access control and physical layer features of this new standard.

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel ultrathin elevated channel thin-film transistor (UT-ECTFT) made using low-temperature poly-Si was proposed, which exhibits excellent current saturation characteristics even at high bias.
Abstract: A novel ultrathin elevated channel thin-film transistor (UT-ECTFT) made using low-temperature poly-Si is proposed. The structure has an ultrathin channel region (300 /spl Aring/) and a thick drain/source region. The thin channel is connected to the heavily doped drain/source through a lightly doped overlapped region. The lightly doped overlapped region provides an effective way to spread out the electric field at the drain, thereby reducing significantly the lateral electric field there at high drain bias. Thus, the UT-ECTFT exhibits excellent current saturation characteristics even at high bias (V/sub ds/=30 V, V/sub gs/=20 V). Moreover, the UT-ECTFT has more than two times increase in on-state current and 3.5 times reduction in off-state current compared to conventional thick channel TFT's.

TL;DR: This paper evaluates the MAC performance of the Draft Standard based on the new relay-based OFDMA frame structure and the new transmission technique-Tunnel and recommends hop by hop tunnel establishing with 5 QoS differentiation which has the best MAC efficiency to apply in 802.16j network.
Abstract: Being an evolution of IEEE 802.16e, IEEE 802.16j mobile multi-hop relay (MMR) is proposed to gain coverage extension and throughput enhancement. Although the IEEE standard 802.16j-2006 has not been published yet, the second version of 802.16j Draft Standard (802.16j D2) has been released in 2007. In this paper, for the first time, we evaluate the MAC performance of the Draft Standard based on the new relay-based OFDMA frame structure and the new transmission technique-Tunnel. Transmission using tunnel has been defined in 802.16j D2, but our work is to find a way to make use of the tunnel to meet each connectionpsilas QoS requirement as well as gaining a higher MAC efficiency. The impact of different parameters, such as MAC frame size, MAC protocol data unit (MPDU) size, QoS and the number of connections are considered in our analysis. Our results show that, for the sake of 5 kinds of QoS defined in the standard, we suggest 5 tunnel CIDs should be included in each relay station (RS) to aggregate all the connections into 5 different groups. And our results also show that, hop by hop tunnel establishing has a better performance than end to end tunnel establishing. As confirmed by our performance evaluation, we recommend hop by hop tunnel establishing with 5 QoS differentiation which has the best MAC efficiency to apply in 802.16j network.
