Power allocation is a technique that evenly allocates samples for each stratum, although the overall efficiency of the allocation is less than that of optimal allocation, and it is often used as a square root proportional allocation in real survey. Also, considering the non-response that occurs in real survey, a larger sample size is used than that in the theoretical formula. In this study, in determining the sample size for each stratum, we study the new methods of allocating by adding information on the response rate per each stratum to power allocation method. The proposed allocation methods are compare with proportional, optimal, and square root proportional allocation in simulation. In addition, the comparison with the proportional and optimal allocation to which the response rate was added is examined through simulation. As a result, we examine the advantages and disadvantages of the allocation methods.

CRU (contiguous resource unit) composed of adjacent OFDMA subcarriers is popularly adopted for recently developed cellular communication standards, e.g. IEEE 802.16e/m. If multiple CRUs having different SNR are assigned to a mobile station, and multiple packet streams are independently transmitted by using H-ARQ transmission, an achievable data rate can be varied according to the channel allocation method of re-transmission packets and new transmission packets. In this paper, the optimum channel allocation method for the above stated problem, and several sub-optimum channel allocation methods to reduce the computational complexity of the optimum allocation method are proposed. According to the simulation results, a sub-optimum allocation method assigning a CRU having good SNR to new transmission packet shows marginal performance loss compared with optimum method, however, the computational complexity can be significantly reduced.

To maintain traffic safety during the target lifetime of bridges, it is essential to secure an appropriate maintenance budget and allocate that budget appropriately. This paper proposes a reasonable budget allocation system that considers various impact factors to improve the conventional budget allocation method simply considering the bridge scale. The maintenance action rate model and the unit cost model based on the prior maintenance history were developed to allocate appropriately the bridge maintenance budget for the total bridges of the management organization with the target management level. A method to determine the optimal budget allocation ratio for each management subject was proposed and case analysis was conducted using the proposed model. Proper budget allocation was made considering the bridge types, current safety level, and service life as well as the bridge size as an impact factor of the budget allocation of the bridge. The developed method can prevent budget waste and provide a rational basis for budget allocation by implementing the rational budget distribution.

We consider connection-oriented wireless cellular networks. These networks employ dedicated radio channels for the transmission of signaling information. A forward signaling channel is a common signaling channel assigned to carry the multiplexed stream of paging and channel allocation(virtual circuit allocation) packets from a base station to mobile stations. The delay levels experienced by paging and channel allocation packets have serious effect on the utilization level of the limited radio channel capacity. While a slotted mode operation is used to reduce the power consumption level at mobile stations, it may induce an increase in packet delay levels. In this paper, we thus consider a multiplexing scheme for paging and channel allocation packets under which slots are dynamically allocated for the paging packet transmission. For this dynamic scheme, we develop an analytical method for deriving the delay characteristics exhibited by paging and channel allocation packets, and investigate the effect of network parameters on the delay level by using this method.

This paper considers 2-hop wireless cooperative communications networks with fixed decode-and-forward relays. Specifically, we first derive the closed-form BER expression for theoretically evaluating the end-to-end performance of these networks. Then, based on this expression and long-tenn fading statistics, we propose a power allocation method for source and relay. Such a method brings about multiple advantages in tenn of spectral efficiency and implementation complexity over other power allocation methods based on instantaneous fading statistics. A variety of numerical results reveal that the cooperative communications scheme with the proposed power allocation significantly outperforms that with the equal power allocation and the direct transmission scheme for any position of the relay subject to the same total transmit power constraint.

In a demand response (DR) market run by independent system operators (ISOs), load aggregators are important market participants who aggregate small retail customers through various DR programs. A load aggregator can minimize the allocation cost by efficiently allocating its demand response resources (DRRs) considering retail customers' characteristics. However, the uncertain response behaviors of retail customers can influence the allocation strategy of its DRRs, increasing the economic risk of DRR allocation. This paper presents a risk-based DRR allocation method for the load aggregator that takes into account not only the physical characteristics of retail customers but also the risk due to the associated response uncertainties. In the paper, a conditional value-at-risk (CVaR) is applied to deal with the risk due to response uncertainties. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper addresses a control allocation method for fault-tolerant control by redistributing redundant control surfaces. The proposed method is based on a classical daisy chain approach for the compensation of faulty actuators. The existing daisy chain method calculates a desired moment according to a number of actuator groups. However, this method has a significant limitation; that is, any faulty actuator belonging to the last actuator group cannot be compensated, since there is no more redundant actuator group that can be used to generate the required moments. In this paper, a modified daisy chain method is proposed to overcome this problem. Using the proposed method, the order of actuator groups is readjusted so that actuator groups containing any faulty actuator are always placed in an upper group instead of the last one. A set of simulation results with an F-18 HARV aircraft demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve better performance than the existing daisy chain method.

In the uniform price electricity market or bilateral electricity market, the energy transactions in which the network is not considered and ISO's system operation costs which ISO try to minimize are settled separately. In this paper, transmission loss, one of the ISO's system operation costs, was dealt. The conventional marginal loss allocation method gives economic signals but three aspects have to be considered; excessiveness, arbitrariness and cross-subsidy. In this paper, marginal loss compensation efficiency method was suggested which consider those aspects of the conventional marginal loss allocation method. Also the characteristics of the marginal loss compensation efficiency were analyzed in the appendixes. And simple 2-bus system and IEEE 14 bus system were used to explain these characteristics.

In this paper, a tolerance allocation method using Monte-Carlo simulation with measured reflective eccentricity for high-sensitive IR optics is proposed. During optics fabrication and alignment, reflective eccentricity was measured using an optical centration measurement instrument. A Monte-Carlo simulation was performed using measured eccentricity data, and it gives statistical estimated performance of the optics after fabrication. The validity of the proposed tolerance allocation method was verified comparing the estimated MTF result with the measured MTF result of the fabricated optics.

This paper addresses the analysis of the travel distance and the number of storage location for storage location allocation methods in a warehouse system. The dedicated, randomized, combined and limited storage methods are considered. The combined and the limited storage methods are suggested here, which the combined storage method is to divide the storage locations into the dedicated storage area and the randomized storage area, and the limited storage method is to restrict the storage area of each product. Through a numerical example, the average travel distance between input/output point and the storage locations, and the number of storage location needed in the warehouse are compared between storage location allocation methods. The nearest randomized storage method is shown as the reasonable one in the travel distance and the number of storage location.
