Towards a Simple Relationship to Estimate the Capacity of Static and Mobile Wireless Networks
Extensive research has been done on studying the capacity of wireless
multi-hop networks. These efforts have led to many sophisticated and customized
analytical studies on the capacity of particular networks. While most of the
analyses are intellectually challenging, they lack universal properties that
can be extended to study the capacity of a different network. In this paper, we
sift through various capacity-impacting parameters and present a simple
relationship that can be used to estimate the capacity of both static and
mobile networks. Specifically, we show that the network capacity is determined
by the average number of simultaneous transmissions, the link capacity and the
average number of transmissions required to deliver a packet to its
destination. Our result is valid for both finite networks and asymptotically
infinite networks. We then use this result to explain and better understand the
insights of some existing results on the capacity of static networks, mobile
networks and hybrid networks and the multicast capacity. The capacity analysis
using the aforementioned relationship often becomes simpler. The relationship
can be used as a powerful tool to estimate the capacity of different networks.
Our work makes important contributions towards developing a generic methodology
for network capacity analysis that is applicable to a variety of different
scenarios.Comment: accepted to appear in IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communication
Labor Market Developments in China: A Neoclassical View
This paper assesses the applicability of two alternative theories in understanding labor market developments in China: the classical view featuring a Lewis turning point in wage growth versus a neoclassical framework emphasizing rational choices of individuals and equilibrating forces of the market. Empirical evidence based on multiple data sources fails to validate the arrival of the Lewis turning point in China, showing continuous and coordinated wage growth across rural and urban sectors instead. Consistent with the neoclassical view, we find that rural workers expanded off-farm work when mobility restrictions were lifted, interprovincial migration responded to expected earnings and local employment conditions, and returns to education converged gradually to the international standard. These findings suggest major progresses in the integration of labor markets in China.labor markets, rural-urban migration, wage growth, schooling returns, Lewis turning point, China
