- Capacity of Ad Hoc Wireless Networks
- Early simulation experience with wireless ad hoc networks suggests that their capacity can be surprisingly low, due to the requirement that nodes forward each others' packets. The achievable capacity depends on network size, traffic patterns, and detailed local radio interactions. This paper examines these factors alone and in combination, using...

- The Fundamental Capacity-Delay Tradeoff in Large Mobile Wireless Networks
- The paper establishes the fundamental tradeoff between the achievable capacity and delay in large mobile wireless networks. Under an i.i.d. mobility model, the paper first obtains the following upper bound on the achievable capacity given delay constraints. The paper then develops a new scheduling scheme that can achieve the upper...

- Transmit Optimization for MIMO-OFDM With Delay-Constrained and No-Delay-Constrained Traffic
- This paper studies low-complexity power control schemes to approach the capacity limits of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Orthogonal-Frequency-Division-Multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) channels under the assumption that perfect Channel State Information CSI is available at both the transmitter and the receiver. Two notions of channel capacity limit are considered, namely, the ergodic capacity for variable-rate...

- Process Resource Manager
- Traditional IT environments are often silos where both technology and human resources are aligned around an application or business function. Capacity is fixed, resources are over-provisioned to meet peak demand, and systems are complex and difficult to change. Costs are based on owning and operating the entire vertical infrastructure-even when...
