A communication network having a plurality of subscriber units receive a finite resource from a common node is disclosed. Individual subscriber units may seize the finite resource of the common node to the exclusion of all other subscriber units in the network. A scheduler allocates the finite resource to the individual subscriber units based upon a weight associated with the individual subscriber units. The scheduler determines the weight for each of the subscriber units based upon an instantaneous rate of consuming the finite resource.

In a wireless communication system using multiple antennas at the transmitter and multiple antennas at the receiver, with a sufficiently large number of antennas and / or diversity order, the same performance that is obtainable when employing instantaneous rate indication feedback can be attained without any such short-term feedback by adjusting the data rate of each transmit antenna according to a prescribed function. The prescribed function does not depend on the short-term state of the channel, but instead only depends on its long-term statistics, which may be fed back from the receiver to the transmitter at relatively lengthy intervals.

Systems and methods are provided for allocating bits to pictures in accordance with the bit allocation constraints for operation at both constant and variable bit rates. A statistical complexity measure which is an estimate of the average encoding complexity of the entire data is updated after encoding each picture. This set of parameters, along with an estimate of the encoding complexity of the current picture and the desired average coding rate is used to allocate target bits for encoding the current picture. One method of allocating bits to a picture is to used the statistical complexity measure to vary the instantaneous rate of encoding and allocate bits for this picture so as to generate encoded data at this rate. Another method is to modulate the target generated by a conventional encoder using the current level of the Virtual Buffer Verifier and the deviation of the estimated encoding complexity of the current picture from the statistical complexity measures.

Nonlinear adaptive resource management systems and methods are provided. According to one embodiment, a controller identifies and prevents resource starvation in resource-limited systems. To function correctly, system processes require resources that can be exhausted when under high load conditions. If the load conditions continue a complete system failure may occur. Controllers functioning in accordance with embodiments of the present invention avoid these failures by distribution shaping that completely avoids undesirable states. According to one embodiment, a Markov Birth / Death Chain model of the resource usage is built based on the structure of the system, with the number of states determined by the amount of resources, and the transition probabilities by the instantaneous rates of observed consumption and release. A control stage is used to guide a controller that denies some resource requests in real systems in a principled manner, thereby reducing the demand rate and the resulting distribution of resource states.

A method and system for fairly distributing servicing of I / O requests by a storage device among remote computers that contract for a specified maximum rate of I / O request servicing by the storage device. The remote computers also specify whether the storage device should employ a simple throttling technique or a sliding window throttling technique to limit the rate of I / O request servicing to the contracted-for rate of I / O request servicing. In the simple throttling technique, the storage device services up to some maximum number of I / O requests per unit time for the remote computer, regardless of the overall time-averaged rate of I / O request servicing provided to the remote computer. In the sliding window throttling technique, the storage device maintains an approximate, periodically re-calculated instantaneous rate of I / O request servicing calculated based on recent I / O request servicing by the storage device on behalf of the remote computer. Intervals between servicing of I / O requests are lengthened or shortened in order to continuously adjust the instantaneous rate of I / O request servicing towards the contracted-for rate of I / O request servicing.

The invention provides an unmanned aerial vehicle base station group deployment method based on time correlation. According to the method, a coverage blind area of a ground base station serves as a target area covered by an unmanned aerial vehicle base station group, and the deployment position and the deployment range of the unmanned aerial vehicle base station group are determined according to environmental parameters (position, size and building average height) of the target area.

Specifically, the interference correlation coefficient is used for measuring the time correlation, the joint coverage rate is used for representing the network performance of large-scale time, and the optimal deployment height and the number of unmanned aerialvehicle base stations are determined according to the change relation of the joint coverage rate along with the deployment height of the unmanned aerial vehicle base station group and the number of the unmanned aerial vehicle base stations in the group.

In an outbound call management system, calls to dial are placed in a buffer queue before transfer to the outbound switch. The rated switch capacity (i.e., X calls per minute) is divided into small submultiples (i.e., Y calls per second) such that short term switch capacity will not be exceeded. Calls are transferred from the queue at the submultiple rate or less depending upon the number of calls in the queue. The time scale is small enough that this instantaneous rate at which calls can be transferred from the queue to the switch does not exceed the instantaneous capacity of the switch. If calls are being placed into the queue at a faster rate than they are sent to the switch, the number of calls in the queue will increase. The call management system will see a resultant apparent increase in the number of placed but unanswered calls. The call management system uses the number of available trunks as a factor when calculating the number of calls to dial, if the number of calls in the queue exceeds a certain number, the call management system will interpret the situation as one in which all the trunks are in use. In this situation, the call management system reduces the number of calls to be dialed.
