A candidate link e must satisfy the following two conditions: (a) e is the only link within the interference range of link e ′ that has been assigned on channel i in the channel assignment stage; (b) link e has not paired with any link.
With MIMO, an unassigned link may share a channel with a neighboring link that has been assigned to transmit on that channel in the previous channel assignment stage.
February/March: The assignment stage.
The o(t) vectors resulting from the soft assignment stage (Eq. 19) are used as frame observation sequences.
Team building and role assignment (Stage 2) are carried out based on students' interpersonal skills scores and on the perception of satisfaction and compatibility amongst team members.
Note that if this happens, e can no longer transmit as many streams as its full DoFs which was assumed in the channel assignment stage.
In the channel assignment stage, all effective DoFs on the transmitter and receiver are assumed to be used for the intended MIMO transmissions.
Although all CCAs share a common structure (first an allocation stage and then, an assignment stage), regulators have tailored key variables depending on their spectrum policies and market structures.
Also update the selected pairing link e that has been added in M i (t) in the channel assignment stage with the new MIMO mode determined in step 4.
The channel assignment stage results in a schedule in which interfering links can be active in a time slot only if each of them can be exclusively assigned a distinct channel.
