Utility-based power control for a two-cell CDMA data network

Power allocation across users in two adjacent cells is studied for a code-division multiple access (CDMA) data service. The forward link is considered and cells are modeled as one-dimensional with uniformly distributed users and orthogonal signatures within each cell. Each user is assumed to have a utility function that describes the user's received utility, or willingness to pay, for a received signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR). The objective is to allocate the transmitted power to maximize the total utility summed over all users subject to power constraints in each cell. It is first shown that this optimization can be achieved by a pricing scheme in which each base station announces a price per unit transmitted power to the users, and each user requests power to maximize individual surplus (utility minus cost). Setting prices to maximize total revenue over both cells is also considered, and it is shown that, in general, the solution is different from the one obtained by maximizing total utility. Conditions are given for which independent optimization in each cell, which leads to a Nash equilibrium (NE), is globally optimal. It is shown that, in general, coordination between the two cells is needed to achieve the maximum utility or revenue.     

Stress Mechanism about Field Lightning Surge of High Voltage BJT Based Line Driver for ADSL System

In this paper, we have verified stress root caused by lightning surge in High voltage BJT based line driver of ADSL telecommunication and created failure mechanism. To reproduce damages in Line driver, we have applied STD surge waveform in operating condition, which is specified in IEC-6000-4-5, to component and board level. Visual isolation for Damage root was conducted with Real-time Electrical Stress Analysis (RTESA) utilizing Photon Emission Microscopy (PEM). The surge made with input of Tx output created junction breakdown of amplifier, which is made of HVBJT cells, and also caused current crowding from Vcc (supply voltage). In case of Positive pulse, current crowding was observed from between Collector and Vcc (+)12V. For negative pulse, at between Emitter and Vee (−)12V, current crowding was found. For both cases, device damage level was the same. All of these could be considered as transient latchup phenomenon created in BJT cell. Applying temporary clamping diode to line driver Tx, we have conducted Board level surge injection test. As a result, with the correlation between surge level from component level reproduction test and the one from system level, we have decided field lightning surge damage level and set up line driver protection margin.

Effect of multiple reflows on interfacial reaction and shear strength of Sn-Ag electroplated solder bumps for flip chip package

The effect of displacement rate and intermetallic compound (IMC) growth on the shear strength of electroplated Sn-2.5Ag (in wt.%) flip chip solder with Cu under-bump metallization (UBM) were investigated after multiple reflows. Cu₆Sn₅ IMC was formed at the interface after one reflow. After five reflows, two different IMC layers, consisting of a scallop-shaped Cu₆Sn₅ phase and a planar Cu₃Sn phase, and their thicknesses increased with increasing reflow number up to 10. The shear strengths peaked after four reflows, and then decreased with increasing reflow number. Increasing displacement rate increased the shear force. The tendency toward brittle fracture characteristics was intensified with increasing displacement rate and reflow number.

A set of randomly placed panoramas and omnidirectional depth information of the surrounding scene are used to generate an output image at a vantage viewpoint. Implementation results show that the proposed approach achieves smooth walkthrough at a realtime     

Mergers and Acquisitions in the Telecommunications Industry: Myths and Reality

This paper investigates how market participants react to mergers and acquisitions (M&As) involving telecommunications companies. The empirical evidence suggests that such activities convey bad news to the market. This is consistent with the synergy trap hypothesis and extant empirical findings of value‐reducing diversification strategies in recent literature. The evidence also indicates that a cross‐border, rather than a domestic M&A deal, is the main driver of the negative market reaction. Further, our evidence of negative impacts on the bidder's business after an M&A reinforces our main finding that market participants, on average, perceive M&A activities to be detrimental to shareholder value. This suggests that value creation or synergy through an M&A deal is not warranted even though it can generate an increase in size of the firm.     

60Co-γ射线辐射对AlGaN/GaN HEMT器件直流特性的影响

采用1.25Mev 60Co γ射线辐射源对钝化前后的AlGaN/GaN HEMT器件进行了1Mrad(Si)的总剂量辐射,实验发现：1Mrad总剂量辐射后未钝化器件的饱和漏电流和最大跨导分别下降了15%和9.1%,而且正向和反向栅电流明显增加,但是阈值电压几乎没有发生变化。相反的,同样的累积剂量下,钝化器件的饱和漏电流和最大跨导却基本没变。通过对钝化前后器件的不同辐射反应以及C-V测试的分析表明,栅-源和栅-漏间隔区辐射感生表面态负电荷的产生是低剂量下AlGaN/GaN HEMT器件电特性退化的主要原因,同时也说明钝化可以有效地抑制60Co γ辐射感生表面态电荷,它是一种有效的加固手段。
