A Note on Occupancy Turnover in Rental Housing Units

Abstract: Occupancy turnover results from household mobility. The importance of life-cycle effects on intra-urban household migration are emphasized, just as have other studies on the subject. In addition, the analysis explicitly addresses the role of household moving costs and landlord occupancy turnover costs as they affect rents charged existing tenants. The empirical results indicate that landlords grant existing tenants long-term rent discounts to reduce occupancy turnover and further suggest that the incentives of landlords to reduce turnover vary based on the age of the housing unit. The results are of special significance in the evaluation of community development programs.

Data transmission system with time division multiple access (TDMA) with locally controlled capacity allocation

Abstract: In a time division multiple access data transmission system with a multiplicity of small unattended stations, for example earth stations of a system operating with a satellite, capacity is intended to be allocated to the individual stations under completely local control. In the new system, each station, in a continuously transmitted burst, notifies all stations of the frame time slots currently occupied by it and also, independently of this, of current occupancy changes such as new occupancy requests or unfulfilled occupancies. Each station contains a frame occupancy memory (4) which is constantly updated by the occupancy indications and occupancy changes received from the other stations. New occupancy of time slots by a station is performed on the basis of the knowledge of the free frame time slots provided from the stored frame occupancy, where the station takes account of any new occupancies by other stations which might possibly result in collision, in order to rule out any multiple occupancy of time slots.
