- Inter-Cell Interference Management in WiMAX Downlinks by a Stackelberg Game Between BSs
- A game theoretic framework is developed for effective and adaptive inter-cell interference management in the OFDMA-based WiMAX/3GPP-LTE systems. Such approach requires no fixed spectrum planning beforehand and does not affect the spectrum usage for users that are not subject to inter-cell interference. Based on the handoff mechanisms in WiMAX systems,...

- Nikon Coolpix S50c
- Some things never change. Some other things, such as Nikon's wireless S-series cameras, change a little bit at a time. Nikon's new Coolpix S50c is a whole lot like the S7c that the company offered last year. It boasts a 7.2-megapixel CCD imaging sensor, a 3X optical, 38mm-to-114mm-equivalent f/3.3-to-f/4.2 zoom...

- Nikon Coolpix S600
- I admit to having mixed feelings about the Nikon Coolpix S600. On one hand, it's a very attractive-looking ultracompact capable of producing pretty 10-megapixel photos. But on the other, it's a tad slow and underfeatured with an occasionally annoying interface. Nor is it priced aggressively enough ($150 or less) to...

- Nikon Coolpix P5100
- Released not long after its sibling, the P5000, the Nikon Coolpix P5100 quickly claimed its role as the new leader of the Coolpix pack. The two cameras bear a close familial resemblance both on the surface and under the hood--most notably the solid, compact body, optical image stabilization, and manual...

- Nikon Coolpix S51c (Silver)
- Why mess with a good thing? That seems to be Nikon's approach to its Wi-Fi-enabled ultracompact cameras. When they came out with the Coolpix S50c last year, I noticed that it was extremely similar to its predecessor, the S7c. Now, Nikon has made the Coolpix S51c, which is nearly identical...
