The authors reduce costs considering the balance of multi-dimensional resources utilization and building up an optimization method for resource allocation; as far as reconfiguration is concerned, they propose a strategy for VM adjustment based on time-division multiplex and on VM live migration.
Once the MS are paired using the "initial pairing" algorithm, BS shall perform bandwidth allocation as per Method 1 or Method 2 for the next "p" frames (The value of "p" is determined experimentally).
Sequentially numbered opaque sealed envelopes were used as a method of allocation concealment.
As the group under study is heterogeneous with regard to some key variables, minimisation was chosen as a method for allocation in order to minimise the imbalance between the treatment groups with respect to baseline characteristics [ 30].
This account should not be approached as a valuation method; it is an allocation method.
This abstraction form was used to record information regarding the quality of the trial, such as allocation concealment, randomization method, blinding of treatment, and inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Figure 7 plots the NMSE of the power allocation for both methods as a function of the mean SNR.
In [27], the authors propose a method for GTS allocation with improved bandwidth utilization, known as a new GTS allocation scheme with bandwidth utilization (ANBU), which allows more devices to share the bandwidth within the same period.
This method of alternate bandwidth allocation continues as long as MS i and MS j remain a pair.
This is a quasi-randomized method of allocation, as described in the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions, and as clarified in the replication trials.
The objective of this research is to design a decision support model to evaluate the usefulness of incrementally introducing timber sales as an alternative method of allocation.
