In this paper, the performance of IS-95B CDMA system adopting multi-code scheme for data service on the forward link is obtained by theoretical analysis and computer simulation. The wireless channel is assumed to include AWGN, MUI(Multi-User Interference), and MPI(Multi-Path Interference), and multipath Rayleigh fading modeled by TDL(Tapped Delay Line). To obtain actual performance, IS-95B system using PN codes(M-sequence) concatenated with Walsh codes is considered. The BER performance of voice/data service satisfying QoS requirement and the maximum capacity of voice users is derived in terms of various system parameters(voice activity factor, required SNR of voice/data users, the number of multi-codes, the number of voice/data users.,etc.). As a result, under the condition that the maximum allowable number of voice user is 38 in voice only system, as the number of multi-code is decreased by 1, the maximum allowable number of voice user is increased by 5% for system with 1 data user and 22.3% for system with 4 data users. Therefore, it is possible to increase maximum allowable number of users in IS-95B CDMA system by appropriate control of the number of multi-codes and required SNR according to channel environment and traffic characteristic.

The novel Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is unprecedentedly changing the world since its outbreak in late 2019. Using the collected the data related to COVID-19 and the social media user data from a mobile application market research agency from January 25 to April 7, this study empirically examines the effect of the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases worldwide, the number news COVID-19, and the enforcement of social distancing measures on the daily active users (DAU) of two social media services - Twitter and Facebook - in South Korea. There are three important findings from the results of econometric analysis. First, the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases worldwide has a negative effect on the DAU of social media. Second, the number of COVID-19 news is negatively associated with the DAU of social media. Finally, the implementation of social distancing measures has no significant effect on the DAU of the social media. Theoretical implications and managerial guidelines are also discussed.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of UWB(Ultra-WideBand) communication system employing Bi-phase modulation and RAKE Receiver under the MAI(Multiple Access Interference) and the OSI(Other System Interference) environment. Using the multi-path channel model recommended by IEEE P802.15.TG3a, the performance degradation Is described with the number of users, the number of RAKE fingers and training sequences. To meet BER 10e-4 for 20 users at the same time, the number of RAKE fingers are proposed from 3 to 32. And the number of training sequences are limited less than 8 to keep the channel estimation error within 3dB

In this paper, we investigate how to do resource allocation to guarantee a minimum user data rate at low signaling overhead in multi-cell orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) wireless systems. We devise dynamic resource allocation (DRA) algorithms that can minimize the QoS violation ratio (i.e., the ratio of the number of users who fail to get the requested data rate to the total number of users in the overall network). We assume an OFDMA system that allows dynamic control of frequency reuse factor (FRF) of each sub-carrier. The proposed DRA algorithms determine the FRFs of the sub-carriers and allocate them to the users adaptively based on inter-cell interference and load distribution. In order to reduce the signaling overhead, we adopt a hierarchical resource allocation architecture which divides the resource allocation decision into the inter-cell coordinator (ICC) and the base station (BS) levels. We limit the information available at the ICC only to the load of each cell, that is, the total number of sub-carriers required for supporting the data rate requirement of all the users. We then present the DRA with limited coordination (DRA-LC) algorithm where the ICC performs load-adaptive inter-cell resource allocation with the limited information while the BS performs intra-cell resource allocation with full information about its own cell. For performance comparison, we design a centralized algorithm called DRA with full coordination (DRA-FC). Simulation results reveal that the DRA-LC algorithm can perform close to the DRA-FC algorithm at very low signaling overhead. In addition, it turns out to improve the QoS performance of the cell-boundary users, and achieve a better fairness among neighboring cells under non-uniform load distribution.

Video server which stores video streams should serve more users with the requested streams rapidly, satisfying their time constraints. However, the number of users supported and the response times for the requested services in video server are in the oppositional relationship with viewpoint of disk throughput. In this paper, we propose new policy that can provide not only rapid responses for the service requests but also increase the number of users supported in the storage system of video server. The policy admits the random movements of disk heads for urgent service requests but maintains the sequential or restricted movements of disk heads and eliminates rewind time of disk heads for less-urgent service requests in storage system of multiple disks environment so that it can not satisfy only the QoS of users but also support more users.

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between collaborative information seeking and users' learning style preferences and their experience of information systems. The study investigates the role of four different factors including learning style, task complexity, and user experience in collaborative information seeking in digital environments. Sixty participants (30 pairs) were randomly chosen from volunteer graduate students of Kharazmi University (Iran). Participants completed Kolb's learning style questionnaire and a user experience questionnaire and then performed two information seeking tasks (one simple and one difficult) in a lab setting. They could exchange information with their partners or a librarian using Skype. The sessions were recorded using Camtasia. The results showed that with an increase in task difficulty, collaborative information seeking activities increased and more interactions with partners and the librarian occurred. The number of executive help-seeking requests was higher than the number of instrumental help-seeking requests. This research confirms that learning style is related to the way users interact with the digital library and help seeking. The research showed that in difficult tasks, the differences among users with different learning styles become more evident, and that generally interactions increase in more difficult tasks. Among the learning styles, the accommodating style had the highest number of relationships with collaborative information seeking variables. Most of the statistically significant relationships between users' prior computer experience and collaborative information seeking variables were related to the time variable.

Myopic method which is one of dynamic spectrum access method is an advantage that it maximizes immediate throughput is not complicated, and the simple and effective. The disadvantage of myopic method is that there may become less efficient because of conflicts between users secondary secondary user becomes many. Between the secondary if the secondary all users, select a channel to maximize the throughput of their own without considering the secondary other users, but it will try transfer secondary most users select the same channel collision will be more. Myopic / CA method has been proposed to solve this problem. Instead of selecting one channel to maximize their performance, select a candidate channels plurality of their advantage, the secondary user transfers to randomly selected channel that one in this way is a scheme. In this paper, we analyze whether it can be defined in a number of the channel number of candidates, depending on the network environment, maximizes the performance of the entire network.

As the usage of wireless LAN becomes common in working environment, the number of database systems that support both wired and wireless users increases rapidly. The characteristics of wireless LAN that its speed is slow relatively comparing to wired network and the users in its environment connects to different communication points as they moves creates another challenge to be resolved in database systems. In the environment of hybrid communication systems, wired and wireless for voluminous data amount and a number of users, the two layer architecture of the conventional client-server database systems has limitation in the system performance. This is due to that server is the only point of data service in client-server database systems. In this paper, we discuss a new extended database system architecture that data services are distributed among servers and clients based on user database access patterns in order to improve system performance. We analyze the expected system performance by using simulation technique and prove the practical utilization of the system by demonstrating experimental results.

This study is to investigate the effect of the number of co-rated users to the MAE. User based collaborative algorithm generally uses similarity weight to compute the relation of active user and other users. The original estimation algorithm of the GroupLens used the Pearson's correlation coefficient, soon after other researchers used various weighting. The Pearson’s correlation coefficient and Vector similarity, which is used in the field of information retrieval, are commonly used to the estimation algorithm. In prediction, we analyze the effect of the number of co-rated users on the user based recommender system.
