This paper presents a state bin transition (macro)model for a large homogeneous population of thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs). The energy use of these TCLs is coordinated with a novel bottom-up asynchronous, anonymous, and randomizing control paradigm called Packetized Energy Management (PEM). A macro-model for a population of TCLs is developed and then augmented with a timer to capture the...
The concept of femtocell aims to combine fixed-line broadband access with mobile telephony using low cost and power third and fourth generation base stations in the subscribers homes. Femtocells are self-configurable, however, can limit the quality of service (QoS) and reduce the efficiency of the network, since it uses old assignment standards, such as the power level of the signal. Thus, this paper...
This paper studies the problem of admission control and air interface selection in heterogeneous network environments. The statistics of random user arrivals and random service durations are considered for the optimization of heterogeneous access management strategies with respect to minimizing the expected mean cost for denial-of-service events. Based on state aggregation in a semi-Markov decision...
