The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author

No full textIntegrated base station assignment, diversity and power control for cognitive radio networks
No full text[[abstract]]An integrated base station assignment, diversity and power control algorithm is proposed to realize the base station sharing, in which primary users (PUs) and secondary users (SUs) can connect to any base station by the variable base station assignment, so that the radio resource is efficiently utilized for cognitive radio networks. We show that this algorithm reduces SU's outage rate (for failing to meet the requirement of SIN R per bit) while always meeting the requirement of SINR per bit for all PUs.

Adaptive resource allocation for downlink grouped MC-CDMA systems with power and BER constraints
No full text[[abstract]]This paper proposes a complete solution to adaptively allocate resource for downlink Multi-Carrier Code Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA) systems with the power and bit error rate (BER) constraints. Under frequency-selective fading channels, the whole spectrum is divided into several groups and each user is allocated to a group based on its channel state information (CSI). After grouping, the adaptive modulation algorithm assigns the bit loading and allocates the transmission power for each user according to its effective channel response. Simulation results show that the proposed solution can achieve high throughput, guarantee the required BER, and reduce the blocking probability. (C) 2013 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.[[note]]SC
Throughput-based rate and power control for cognitive radio networks with receive diversity and error control
No full text[[abstract]]In this study, the cognitive radio (CR) networks are considered where the user can be categorised into the primary user (PU) and the secondary user (SU). A throughput-based rate and power control algorithm is proposed to find each SU's transmitting power and transmission rate that meet the throughput requirement of each SU for the CR networks with receiver diversity and error control. The proposed algorithm makes the throughput converge to the throughput requirement for the feasible SU (whose throughput can be greater than or equal to the throughput requirement) and makes the throughput converge to the maximum achievable throughput [for the limiting signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR)] for the infeasible SU. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can increase the probability for making SU achieve its throughput requirement and PUs' total interferences from all SUs are decreasing and always fall below the threshold, which implies that the quality of service of the PU will be ensured during (and after) the execution of the proposed algorithm.[[note]]SC
