We provide a comprehensive delay and queueing analysis for two baseline medium access control protocols for multi-user cognitive radio networks with homogene...

Notables features of cognitive radios have made them a technology of choice for wireless communications and motivated the notion of cognitive radio cellular ...

Dynamic spectrum access (DSA) for secondary networks improves the spectrum utilization by finding spectrum opportunities and exploiting them efficiently. A k...

In this paper, we present a new queueing model providing the accurate average system time for packets transmitted over a cognitive radio (CR) link for multip...

In this paper we introduce a joint planning and energy management framework for Wireless Mesh Networks. In order to show that power management should be inte...

The packet delay variation, commonly called delay jitter, is an important quality of service parameter in IP networks especially for real-time applications. ...

Jitter buffering is a key component in multimedia and real-time services. A jitter buffer is used at the receiver side to control packet rate and to compensa...

An analytical approach and a control strategy are proposed in Part I of this two-part paper for leveraging the aggregate demand of a population of Thermostat...

There are few systematic methodologies capable of predicting and leveraging the reserve capacity potential of large populations of Thermostatically-Controlle...

Modern power systems are undergoing a transitional phase, increasingly incorporating variable generation (VG) to harness the economic and environmental benef...

Decentralized stochastic control refers to the multi-stage optimization of a dynamical system by multiple controllers that have access to different informati...

In decentralized control systems with linear dynamics, quadratic cost, and Gaussian disturbance (also called decentralized LQG systems) linear control strate...

A reliable and scalable mechanism to provide protection against a link or node failure has additional requirements in the context of SDN and OpenFlow. Not on...

Virtual metrology in quality control deals with drifts in product quality that occur during non-sampling periods. This approach enables a hundred percent con...

Facility location decisions play a critical role in transportation planning. In fact, it has recently become essential to study how such commitment integrate...

Until recently, graph coloring being a computationally difficult problem, completely dynamic channel allocation was not considered in large scale networks. T...

On considère un jeu coopératif à \(n\) joueurs et on utilise la fonction caractéristique \(\delta\) pour évaluer la force stratégique de chacune des coal...

Credit spreads and CDS premiums are investigated before, during and after the financial crisis with a flexible credit risk model. The latter is designed to c...

This paper provides an investigation into an anomaly called a short squeeze, in the CBOT T-Bonds Futures Market, for the period spanning January 1985 to Se...

Oil industry plays currently a major role in the Canadian economy. In the future, further developments of the oil sector will be affected by the ability to t...
