We assign unequal decoding power of forward error correction （FEC） to data partitions with different priority by jointly considering the source coding, channel coding and receiver power consumption. The proposed scheme is applied to H.264 video over additive white Gaussion noise （AWGN） channel, and achieves excellent tradeoff between video delivery quality and power consumption, and yields significant power saving compared with the conventional equal decoding power allocation （EDPA） approach in wireless video transmission.展开更多

As the difference of hybrid energy source in stability and economy, thus, this paper focuses on the network with hybrid energy source, and design the utility of each user in the hybrid energy source system from the perspective of stability, economy and environment pollution. A dual power allocation algorithm based on Stackelberg game to maximize the utilities of users and networks is proposed. In addition, an iteration method is proposed which enables all players to reach the Stackelberg equilibrium(SE). Simulation results validate that players can reach the SE and the utilities of users and networks can be maximization, and the green energy can be efficiently used.展开更多

This paper presents a new scheme for multiple source video streaming in which the traditional fine granular scal-able coding was rebuilt into a multiple sub-streams based transmission model. A peak signal to noise ratio based stream rate allocation algorithm was then developed based on the transmission model. In tests, the algorithm performance is about 1 dB higher than that of a uniform rate allocation algorithm. Therefore, this scheme can overcome bottlenecks along a single link and smooth jitter to achieve high quality and stable video.展开更多
文摘This part demonstrates a prototype system which has been constructed to enable the allocation of orders of different product types to different manufacturing locations . ’ What - if’ experiments using this system show that different allocation rules would provide different outcomes in terms of the number of unallocated orders. A high number of unallocated orders will have a direct Impact on workload. Further research effort is necessary to channel into the exercbe of production order allocation with particular reference to allocation rules.
