To transmit a mixture of real-time and non-real-time traffic in a broadcast system, we impose a basic service rate $r_0$ for real-time traffic and use the excess rate beyond $r_0$ to transmit non-real-time traffic. Considering the…
A multi-hop synchronous wirelss network is said to be unknown if the nodes have no knowledge of the topology. A basic task in wireless network is that of broadcasting a message (created by a fixed source node) to all nodes of the network.…
Transmission line outage rates are fundamental to power system reliability analysis. Line outages are infrequent, occurring only about once a year, so outage data are limited. We propose a Bayesian hierarchical model that leverages line…
