Bed size (r = -.24, p <.05) and operating budget (r = -.32, p <.01) were negatively correlated with the rating of fairness in priority setting.
Furthermore, during the inter-operator spectrum sharing process, if an operator needs to ensure that all the users have approximately same data rates or each user should be able to transmit at a minimum rate, some notion of fairness has to be incorporated in the optimization process that gives the users the way of being treated in accordance with the fairness notion.
Professor Kimes and her assistants asked 334 hotel guests to rate the fairness of different kinds of restaurant pricing, like different prices for lunch versus dinner, or weekdays versus weekends, or one table location versus another.
Through a detailed simulation study using ns-2, we empirically show that PROMPT outperforms existing routing protocols proposed for vehicular networks in terms of end-to-end packet delay, packet loss rate, and fairness of service.
Amid rare bipartisan consensus for lowering mandatory minimum sentences for nonviolent drug offenders and other reforms, Earnest said the disproportionate effect of severe sentences on minorities had an impact not just on crime rates, but on "perceptions of fairness and justice in the United States".
Why was this condition rated above the level of fairness (MOS = 3) in an interactive context and below in a passive context?
It is known that the orthogonal multiple access (OMA) guarantees for homogeneous networks, where all users have almost the same received power, a higher degree of fairness (in rate) than that provided by successive interference cancellation (SIC).
It is also pointed out in [5] that, whenever the received power is almost the same for all users, that is, the network is homogeneous, OMA guarantees a higher degree of fairness (in rate) than that provided by SIC.
Thus, only users who can maximize BS throughput on the available subchannels are assigned data transmission opportunities which enhance the BS data rate, albeit at the expense of fairness to users.
Finally, we note that normalized effective network utilization is upwards of 90% for all scheduling techniques for both downstream and upstream flows; backlogged TCP flows saturate the spectrum around the gateway in all cases, irrespective of fairness in rate allocation between individual flows.
