—We analyze a comprehensive model for multi-class job scheduling accounting for user abandonment, with the objective of minimizing the total discounted or time-average sum of lin...
—Cooperative communication has attracted dramatic attention in the last few years due to its advantage in mitigating channel fading. Despite much effort that has been made in the...
Abstract This paper deals with the problem of mobile-robot localization in structured environments. The extended Kalman filter (EKF) is used to localize the fourwheeled mobile robo...
