Spectrum resource allocation method of maximizing transmission rate in cognitive heterogeneous wireless networks by Xiaoqing DONG, Lianglun CHENG, Gengzhong ZHENG, Tao WANG

“…Aiming at the problem that it is difficult to allocate spectrum resources to secondary users efficiently in cognitive heterogeneous wireless networks with heterogeneous spectrum attributes,dynamic channel conditions and diverse service requirements,a spectrum resource allocation strategy with maximum transmission rate was proposed.Firstly,the strategy aimed at maximizing the total transmission rate,and constrained the limited spectrum resources and user service requirements to construct a non-linear multi-constrained spectrum resource allocation 0-1 planning model.Then a polynomial time complexity simplification method was designed.According to idle spectrum information,channel conditions,business requirements and allocation decision history information,and the benefit matrix was constructed and modified to achieve constraint simplification,and the execution efficiency was improved by improving the coefficient matrix transformation strategy of the traditional Hungarian algorithm.Finally,the performance of the method was compared and analyzed by experiments.Experimental results show that the proposed method has higher transmission rate and execution efficiency.…”

Contributos (antropo)metodológicos para um projecto social de cidade by Marluci Menezes

“…The paper stresses three difficulties: emphasis on the contexts problems and minimization of their potentialities; need to render the socio-cultural diagnosis more operational; specific drawbacks of an interdisciplinary and multidimensional work. As an attempt to contribute to the overcoming of such difficulties, two notions are emphasized: project, understood as a strategy of invention or creation of a new sociospatial order as a cultural, phenomenological and pragmatic expression; diagnosis, conceived in an interactive, dynamic and flexible way. …”
