Kahler submanifolds and the Umehara algebra
We show that an indefinite Euclidean complex space is not a relative of an
indefinite non-flat complex space form. We further study whether two compact
Fubini-Study spaces are relatives or not
Optimization of Free Space Optical Wireless Network for Cellular Backhauling
With densification of nodes in cellular networks, free space optic (FSO)
connections are becoming an appealing low cost and high rate alternative to
copper and fiber as the backhaul solution for wireless communication systems.
To ensure a reliable cellular backhaul, provisions for redundant, disjoint
paths between the nodes must be made in the design phase. This paper aims at
finding a cost-effective solution to upgrade the cellular backhaul with
pre-deployed optical fibers using FSO links and mirror components. Since the
quality of the FSO links depends on several factors, such as transmission
distance, power, and weather conditions, we adopt an elaborate formulation to
calculate link reliability. We present a novel integer linear programming model
to approach optimal FSO backhaul design, guaranteeing -disjoint paths
connecting each node pair. Next, we derive a column generation method to a
path-oriented mathematical formulation. Applying the method in a sequential
manner enables high computational scalability. We use realistic scenarios to
demonstrate our approaches efficiently provide optimal or near-optimal
solutions, and thereby allow for accurately dealing with the trade-off between
cost and reliability
Data Offloading in Load Coupled Networks: A Utility Maximization Framework
We provide a general framework for the problem of data offloading in a
heterogeneous wireless network, where some demand of cellular users is served
by a complementary network. The complementary network is either a small-cell
network that shares the same resources as the cellular network, or a WiFi
network that uses orthogonal resources. For a given demand served in a cellular
network, the load, or the level of resource usage, of each cell depends in a
non-linear manner on the load of other cells due to the mutual coupling of
interference seen by one another. With load coupling, we optimize the demand to
be served in the cellular or the complementary networks, so as to maximize a
utility function. We consider three representative utility functions that
balance, to varying degrees, the revenue from serving the users vs the user
fairness. We establish conditions for which the optimization problem has a
feasible solution and is convex, and hence tractable to numerical computations.
Finally, we propose a strategy with theoretical justification to constrain the
load to some maximum value, as required for practical implementation. Numerical
studies are conducted for both under-loaded and over-loaded networks.Comment: 12 pages, accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on Wireless
