The Effect of the Bulk Sales Article on Existing Commercial Practices

Power control is considered as an important means to combat near-far fading effects and maintain acceptable connections in wireless communications systems. When applying power control in practice, the performance is restricted by a number of fundamental limitations. Here, these are addressed from a control theory perspective. Limited update rate, limited feedback bandwidth, time delays, measurement errors, feedback errors, and filtering effects among other aspects all affect the resulting performance, and are related to radio channnel characteristics. Simulations further illustrate the hampering effects

Discovering the Value of Multidisciplinary Approaches to Research: Insights from a Sabbatical

In this informal report, I outline my research efforts, collaborations, and other experiences while participating in the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL)'s Advanced Graduate Research Program (AGRP), aka Sabbatical, from October 2008 through September 2009. This report is in no way intended to present the technical details of the various research projects, but rather a broad overview of the small ways my efforts may have contributed to ongoing research. I wish to convey to the reader the value of multidisciplinary approaches to scientific research and how the AGRP facilitates these opportunities.Comment: 13 pages, 5 figure
