In the case of the indirect model, the AS uses SCS services and connects indirectly to the network.
(AS uses some lame Windows Media codec, one that Flip4Mac refused to play last week during Kaká's presentation. The Windows guys here, Doug and Matt, were able to see the video just fine).
The third deployment paradigm is the hybrid model, where the AS uses the direct model and indirect model simultaneously in order to directly connect to an operator network to perform direct user plane communications with the M2M devices while also using an SCS.
NCF captures pairwise costs (or equivalently, similarities) of aligning nodes in different networks, and AS uses these costs to identify a good-quality alignment out of all possible alignments with respect to some topological or biological alignment quality measure [ 2, 3, 5– 7, 20, 24– 26, 34].
Would that be the same as "uses less than two-thirds of the energy" of a TDC, then?
Throughout, the text scrupulously avoids the use of jargon and gives clear definitions of terms, as well as uses concrete examples to illustrate key concepts.
