FCC Regulation of the Telecommunications Press

The author thinks we would not tolerate this sort of regulation in any context other than telecommunications; the First Amendment would forbid it. But somehow telecommunications speech is different and permits, many think, a different First Amendment regime. The author seeks here to raise questions about this assumption through an exploration of the justifications generally offered to support this different First Amendment regime for telecommunications speech. After exploring those justifications, the author will offer some alternative strategies for reforming telecommunications regulation in a manner which both eliminates present intrusion into protected speech and forwards the First Amendment interest of diversity of ideas

Storstäderna växer och folk vill bo allt mer centralt, men det finns inte mycket yta att bygga på ifall man inte vill offra naturområden. En lösning är att bygga på höjden, det vill säga öka antalet våningar. Det är vad denna uppsats handlar om och hur bostads- och hyresrättsföreningar kan dra nytta av detta genom att öka sin ekonomiska vinning, samtidigt som de gör samhället en tjänst och är med och mättar behovet. Det denna uppsats kommer att behandla är hur ekonomin i olika föreningar ändras i samband med takpåbyggnad med en eller flera våningar och hur detta skiljer sig utifrån olika tekniska lösningar. Syftet är att utifrån detta skapa en uppsats som kan gagna framtida fastigheter som överväger att göra en sådan ombyggnation. De metoder vi kommer använda är granskning av dokumentation och handlingar från olika föreningar som har genomgått en takpåbyggnad av en eller flera våningar. Dessa kommer att användas för att göra uträkningar och egna analyser. Även intervjuer med styrelsemedlemmar i bostadsrättsföreningarna och företag som utför takombyggnationer förekommer. Tekniska och juridiska krav behandlas även om vad som generellt gäller för en takpåbyggnad. I slutet så sker en analys av objekten, där man får se resultatet av det som undersökts. Avslutningsvis så kommer slutsatsen som ger oss svaret att en bostadsrättsförenings ekonomi med största sannolikhet gynnas av en ombyggnation av detta slag om möjligheten finns. De variationer som förekom var oftast lägesrelaterade och man kan se en tydlig korrelation mellan vinsten och ju mer centralt man hamnade. Slutsatsen är alltså i sin enkelhet att om möjligheten finns så är en våningstakpåbyggnad med stor sannolikhet ett lönsamt alternativ.The big cities are growing and people want to live ever more centrally, but there is not much space to build on if you do not want to sacrifice the natural areas. One solution is to build higher, namely increasing the number of floors. That's what this essay is about and how housing and tenancy associations can take advantage of this by increasing their financial gain, while they’re doing the community a service and is with and saturates need. There we will examine is how the economies of various compounds change with a storey extension with one or more floors and how this differs from different technical solutions. The aim is that by this create an essay that will benefit future properties that are considering doing such conversions. The methods we will use is the examination of records and documents of various cases that have undergone a storey extension of one or more floors. These will be used to make the calculations and their own analyzes. Interviews with board members of housing cooperatives and companies that perform storey extensions occur. Technical and legal claims are pending, although generally applicable for a storey extension. In the end this happens, an analysis of the items, where you see the results of what has been investigated. Finally it will conclude that gives us the answer to a housing association economy most likely benefits from a reconstruction of this kind if the possibility exists. The variations that occurred were usually locational and one can see a clear correlation between the gain and the more centrally it ended. The conclusion is thus in its simplicity that if there is a possibility to do a storey extension, then it probably is a viable alternative

Towards Optimal Distributed Node Scheduling in a Multihop Wireless Network through Local Voting

In a multihop wireless network, it is crucial but challenging to schedule transmissions in an efficient and fair manner. In this paper, a novel distributed node scheduling algorithm, called Local Voting, is proposed. This algorithm tries to semi-equalize the load (defined as the ratio of the queue length over the number of allocated slots) through slot reallocation based on local information exchange. The algorithm stems from the finding that the shortest delivery time or delay is obtained when the load is semi-equalized throughout the network. In addition, we prove that, with Local Voting, the network system converges asymptotically towards the optimal scheduling. Moreover, through extensive simulations, the performance of Local Voting is further investigated in comparison with several representative scheduling algorithms from the literature. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm achieves better performance than the other distributed algorithms in terms of average delay, maximum delay, and fairness. Despite being distributed, the performance of Local Voting is also found to be very close to a centralized algorithm that is deemed to have the optimal performance

On Coding for Reliable Communication over Packet Networks

We present a capacity-achieving coding scheme for unicast or multicast over lossy packet networks. In the scheme, intermediate nodes perform additional coding yet do not decode nor even wait for a block of packets before sending out coded packets. Rather, whenever they have a transmission opportunity, they send out coded packets formed from random linear combinations of previously received packets. All coding and decoding operations have polynomial complexity. We show that the scheme is capacity-achieving as long as packets received on a link arrive according to a process that has an average rate. Thus, packet losses on a link may exhibit correlation in time or with losses on other links. In the special case of Poisson traffic with i.i.d. losses, we give error exponents that quantify the rate of decay of the probability of error with coding delay. Our analysis of the scheme shows that it is not only capacity-achieving, but that the propagation of packets carrying "innovative" information follows the propagation of jobs through a queueing network, and therefore fluid flow models yield good approximations. We consider networks with both lossy point-to-point and broadcast links, allowing us to model both wireline and wireless packet networks.Comment: 33 pages, 6 figures; revised appendi
