Governance and Dynamic Efficiency with Network Structure in the Brazilian Natural Gas Utilities by Francisco Roldineli Varela Marques, Alexandro Barbosa, Pedro Simões, Kelly Cristina de Oliveira

“…The second stage (explanatory) was estimated through the panel with random effects to identify the relationship between governance and efficiency, considering certain context factors. The results show that the average general efficiency was 74.96%, resulting from the interactions between the average efficiency rates of 72.21% of the technical–operational division and 82.03% of the economic–financial division, and suggest that the corporate governance index and ownership (public or private) are not relevant factors for the efficiency results studied.…”

Energy-efficient resource allocation algorithm for massive MIMO OFDMA downlink system by Ying HU, Bao-feng JI, Yong-ming HUANG, Fei YU, Lv-xi YANG

“…An algorithm is proposed for energy-efficient resource allocation scheme in massive MIMO OFDMA downlink mobile communication system.A mathematical formulation of optimization issue is provided with the objective of maximizing system energy efficiency lower bound under the minimum data rate requirement of user,meanwhile the BS uses a zero-forcing(ZF) precoding.And then for optimizing energy efficiency function,the bandwidth allocation,power allocation and the number of antenna arrays at the BS are adjusted synchronously.First,an iterative algorithm derived from optimality condition for bandwidth assignment is proposed.Second,the properties of fractional programming and convex optimization are used to maximize the energy efficiency.Specifically,both the number of antenna arrays at the BS and the transmit data rate at the user are adjusted.Simulation results show that the proposed schemes not only have less iteration number but also have good perform for system energy efficiency and throughput.…”
