— The combination of space-time block codes (STBC) and spatial multiplexing (SM) schemes has the advantages of diversity gain and high data rate. For such STBC/SM hybrid systems,...
The topological properties of a network directly impact the flow of information through a system. For example, in natural populations, the network of inter-individual contacts aff...
Markov logic networks (MLNs) combine logic and probability by attaching weights to first-order clauses, and viewing these as templates for features of Markov networks. In this pap...
Structured peer-to-peer (P2P) overlays have been successfully employed in many applications to locate content. However, they have been less effective in handling massive amounts o...
