A Study on the Impact of Industrial Robot Applications on Labor Resource Allocation by Kexu Wu, Zhiwei Tang, Longpeng Zhang

“…The results reveal that a higher level of industrial robot adoption is significantly associated with a lower degree of labor misallocation, indicating a notable improvement in labor resource allocation efficiency. Heterogeneity analysis shows that this effect is more pronounced in cities outside the Yangtze River Economic Belt, in those experiencing severe population aging, and in areas with a relatively weak manufacturing base. …”

A Novel Resource Allocation Algorithm for OFDMA System with Proportional Fairness by Yaohui Wu, Youming Li, Pengfei Shao

“…Existing algorithms couldn't balance system capacity and high fairness well,so a multi-user rate adaptive allocation algorithm was proposed to maximize the capacity of OFDMA system under proportional fairness.Improved maximize the minimum（max-min）user rate model was proposed,the current user was allocated the highest efficiency subcarrier according to the channel efficiency control parameter.If some allocated subcarrier's channel gain was lower than the threshold value,which would be reallocated to another user whose channel gain was highest.Power allocation model was converted into expression of water-filling line; every user's power allocation was resolved according to the resolved water-filling line.Simulation results and analysis show that the proposed scheme can achieve higher capacity and perfect fairness in a variety of SNR cases,while requiring slightly less computation.…”

Optimal resource allocation for two-stage connectionless access with collision detection by Xin JIAN, Fang WANG, Jian SONG, Shu FU, Xiaoheng TAN, Xiaoping ZENG

“…Connectionless access allows massive machine type communication (mMTC) devices to transmit small packets without establishment of radio bearers,significantly reducing device power consumption and control signaling overhead.Two-stage connectionless access (TSCLA) improves throughput and resource efficiency by optimally allocating resources between scheduling request (SR) phase and data transmission phase,which can be used for bigger packets and high traffic load.Based on this,a comprehensive theoretical analysis of one kind of TSCLA with collision detection was conducted to investigate its performance limit and devise its optimal resource allocation scheme.In addition,to avoid the complexity of user number estimation,a dynamic resource allocation algorithm with feedback control was proposed.Numerical results are provided to validate the effectiveness of aforementioned theoretical results and show that comparing with the genie aided algorithm known exactly the number of users,the performance loss of the proposed algorithm is within 4%.These works together provide good references for appropriate resource dimensioning for mMTC related protocols.…”
