IEEE 802.16 standard defines the air interface specifications for broadband access in wireless metropolitan area networks. Although the medium access control signaling has been well-defined in the IEEE 802.16 specifications, ...

Sequencing batch reactors, at 10 degrees C, operating near the minimum solids retention time (washout conditions) for nitrification, were seeded daily with nitrifying biomass acclimated to 10 and 20 degrees C. Effluent ...

The relationships between shoot size and morphological patterns and crown location were investigated in 6-year-old green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica var. subintegerrima (Vahl) Fern.). In general, shoots were shorter in the ...

A queuing analytical model is presented to evaluate call-level and packet-level quality of service (QoS) metrics in the uplink of a voice/data cellular code division multiple access ( CDMA) network. In this model, a ...

This paper presents a semi-analytical methodology for radio link level performance analysis in a multirate "orthogonal frequency-division multiple-access" (OFDMA) network with adaptive fair rate allocation. Multirate ...

The phase diagram of the classical anisotropic (XXZ) Heisenberg model on the two-dimensional triangular lattice is investigated using Monte Carlo methods. In the easy-axis limit, two finite-temperature vortex-unbinding ...

The role of topological excitations in frustrated Heisenberg antiferromagnets between two and three spatial dimensions is considered. In particular, the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on a stacked triangular geometry ...

To improve the spectral efficiency while meeting the radio link level quality of service requirements such as the bit-error-rate (BER) requirements for the different wireless services, transmission rate and power corresponding ...

This paper addresses. the problem of dynamic rate and power adaptation for forward link data transmission using high-order modulation and multicode formats in cellular wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) networks. ...
