Caching Gain in Wireless Networks with Fading: A Multi-User Diversity Perspective

We consider the effect of caching in wireless networks where fading is the dominant channel effect. First, we propose a one-hop transmission strategy for cache-enabled wireless networks, which is based on exploiting multi-user diversity gain. Then, we derive a closed-form result for throughput scaling of the proposed scheme in large networks, which reveals the inherent trade-off between cache memory size and network throughput. Our results show that substantial throughput improvements are achievable in networks with sources equipped with large cache size. We also verify our analytical result through simulations.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, conferenc

Student Career Preferences: In Support Of A New Learning Paradigm

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, throughout their careers, college graduates change multiple jobs and several careers, often remotely related to one another or to their major field of study. Experts project that the majority of newly created jobs requiring college education would involve extensive and prolonged on-the-job training of new hires, with soft skills gaining more prominence as determinants of professional success. Conversely, over the past several decades, higher education has followed a trend of compartmentalization of college education into narrowly defined disjointed disciplines each with a strict degree program. Such one-size-fits-all educational programs are unlikely to prepare prospective professionals for gainful employment in the emerging economy considering the new success indicators. This study presents a comparative exploratory analysis of accounting students’ career preferences by gender, age, grade point average, and academic classification. The study reveals notable differences in career preferences among students enrolled in the same academic program due to differences in gender, age, and academic classification

Recognition of Sustainability in Iran’s Vernacular Architecture

The subject of supplying thermal energy, i.e providing comfort inside the building for residents and supplying cold and heat by building is essential to be discussed in architectural term. The majority of dwelling spaces were designed on the basis of corresponding man demands and environmental conditions and gradually created an exceptional combination of art and technology. However, in the architecture related to 20th century, by giving extreme importance to so-called modernism is distinguishable. Of course, the cost for being technological is going to ignore other values. A challenging question, which is always raised when scholars review the methods and characteristics in sustainable architecture, is the claim that Iran’s vernacular architecture has complied sustainable principles

One-Hop Throughput of Wireless Networks with Random Connections

We consider one-hop communication in wireless networks with random connections. In the random connection model, the channel powers between different nodes are drawn from a common distribution in an i.i.d. manner. An scheme achieving the throughput scaling of order $n^{1/3-\delta}$, for any $\delta>0$, is proposed, where $n$ is the number of nodes. Such achievable throughput, along with the order $n^{1/3}$ upper bound derived by Cui et al., characterizes the throughput capacity of one-hop schemes for the class of connection models with finite mean and variance.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Communications Letter
