Determining master schedule of surgical operations by integer programming: A case study
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Institute of Industrial Engineers, 2010)Fixed amounts of available Operating Room (OR) time compatibility of ORs and restrictions related to surgery equipment and surgeon availabilities complicate the process of preparing the master surgical schedule at hospitals. In this research an integer programming model and its application at Etiler World Eye Hospital (in Turkey) are presented in order to create a master surgical schedule that includes the most common surgery types on weekly basis and resolves surgeon equipment and operating room ...

Energy efficient robust scheduling of periodic sensor packets for discrete rate based wireless networked control systems
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Elsevier, 2020)Wireless networked control systems (WNCSs) require the design of a robust scheduling algorithm that meets the stringent timing and reliability requirements of control systems, despite the limited battery resources of sensor nodes and adverse properties of wireless communication for delay and packet errors. In this article, we propose a robust delay and energy constrained scheduling algorithm based on the exploitation of the mostly pre-known periodic data generation nature of sensor nodes in control ...

Joint Optimization of Wireless Network Energy Consumption and Control System Performance in Wireless Networked Control Systems
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2017)Communication system design for wireless networked control systems requires satisfying the high reliability and strict delay constraints of control systems for guaranteed stability with the limited battery resources of sensor nodes despite the wireless networking induced non-idealities. These include non-zero packet error probability caused by the unreliability of wireless transmissions and non-zero delay resulting from packet transmission and shared wireless medium. In this paper we study the ...

Minimum Length Scheduling for Discrete Rate Based Full Duplex Wireless Powered Communication Networks
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Springer, 2019)In this study, we consider a wireless powered communication network where multiple users with radio frequency energy harvesting capabilities communicate to a hybrid energy and information access point in full duplex mode. We characterize an optimization framework for minimum length scheduling to determine the optimal rate adaptation and transmission scheduling subject to energy causality and traffic demand constraints of the users considering discrete-rate transmission model. We first formulate ...

Minimum Length Scheduling for Full Duplex Time-Critical Wireless Powered Communication Networks
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(IEEE, 2020)Radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting is key in attaining perpetual lifetime for time-critical wireless powered communication networks (WPCNs) due to full control on energy transfer, far field region, small and low-cost circuitry. In this paper, we propose a novel minimum length scheduling problem to determine the optimal power control, time allocation and schedule subject to data, energy causality and maximum transmit power constraints in a full-duplex WPCN. We first formulate the problem as a ...

QoS-Constrained Semi-Persistent Scheduling of Machine-Type Communications in Cellular Networks
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(IEEE, 2019)The dramatic growth of machine-to-machine (M2M) communication in cellular networks brings the challenge of satisfying the quality of service (QoS) requirements of a large number of M2M devices with limited radio resources. In this paper we propose an optimization framework for the semi-persistent scheduling of M2M transmissions based on the exploitation of their periodicity with the goal of reducing the overhead of the signaling required for connection initiation and scheduling. The goal of the ...

Sceheduling Pumped Hydro- Power Resources Under Price and Flow Uncertainty
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Kadir Has University, 2012)Hydroelectric power plants should be preferred since they are environmentally friendly and they have low level of potential risks. Hydroelectric power plants are local resources that are environmentally compatible unpolluted capable of dealing with peak hour requirements highly efficient cost-free of fuel and playing a role as the insurance of energy prices. -- Abstract'dan.
