Celebrating a major milestone, the IEEE Xplore® digital library now offers more than two million documents in its database of high quality journal articles, conference proceedings, standards and educational courses. Serving seven million visitors each month, IEEE Xplore has grown over 275% since its inception ten years ago—with more than 100,000 documents added to the library each year.
Background
The two millionth article loaded into IEEE Xplore is "Intelligent Packet Dropping for Optimal Energy-Delay Tradeoffs in Wireless Downlinks,” by Michael J. Neely from the University of Southern California. It appears in the March issue of IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control. View the article in IEEE Xplore
Article abstract
We explore the advantages of intelligently dropping a small fraction of packets that arrive for transmission over a time varying wireless downlink. Without packet dropping, the optimal energy-delay tradeoff conforms to a square root tradeoff law, as shown by Berry and Gallager (2002). We show that intelligently dropping any non-zero fraction of the input rate dramatically changes this relation from a square root tradeoff law to a logarithmic tradeoff law.
Further, we demonstrate an innovative algorithm for achieving this logarithmic tradeoff without requiring a-priori knowledge of arrival rates or channel probabilities. The algorithm can be implemented in real time and easily extends to yield similar performance for multi-user systems.
About the author
Michael J. Neely, an IEEE Senior Member, received Bachelor of Science degrees in both electrical engineering and mathematics from the University of Maryland, College Park (USA), in 1997. Dr. Neely was awarded a Department of Defense Fellowship for graduate study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA), where he received a Master of Science degree in 1999 and a doctorate in 2003, both in electrical engineering.
In 2004, Dr. Neely joined the faculty of the electrical engineering department at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles (USA), where he is currently an assistant professor. His research is in the area of stochastic network optimization for wireless and ad hoc mobile networks. Dr. Neely, a member of Tau Beta Pi and Phi Beta Kappa, received the National Science Foundation Career Award in January 2008.
