SCP-MAC, a synchronous scheduled energy-efficient scheduling MAC protocol, minimizes the preamble by combining preamble sampling and scheduling techniques; however, it does not prevent energy loss due to overhearing; in addition, due to its synchronization procedure, it results in increased contention and delay.
Administration of ESAs on a synchronous schedule with chemotherapy administration could benefit patients by reducing clinic visits and potentially enhancing on-time chemotherapy delivery.
PSM is based on a synchronous sleep scheduling policy, in which wireless nodes are able to alternate between an active mode and a sleep mode.
A number of efforts have been concentrating on the SLEEP mode, where MTs use synchronous sleep scheduling and trying to increase the periods of SLEEP as much as possible.
The access point then synchronizes with the PSM station allowing it to begin running its synchronous sleep schedule.
Thus, for the purpose of the current work, we have decided to use a synchronous update schedule for model simulation.
Based on the synchronous update schedule that we have selected for our approach, the state value of a node i at time t is computed as x i t : = f i (x 1 t - 1, …, x n t - 1 ).
It might be used for staging of patients with CT-detected synchronous liver metastases scheduled for liver surgery.
Compared to asynchronous contention-based random access, e.g., carrier sensing multiple access, synchronous and distributed link scheduling for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is a viable solution to improve system throughput for device-to-device (D2D) ad hoc network.
The key problem of finding a maximum-throughput allocation and scheduling of Synchronous Data-Flow graphs (SDFGs) onto a multi-core architecture is NP-hard and has been traditionally solved by means of heuristic (incomplete) algorithms with no guarantee of global optimality.
