In the rectangle packing problem, encoding schemes
to represent the placements of rectangles are the key
factors determining the efficiency of algorithms. SEQP
AIR is one of the most sophisticated encoding sheme,
which has been considered to have a small solution

Smart City Networks: Through the Internet of Things is composed of research
results, analyses, and ideas, which focus on a diversity of interconnected factors
relating with urbanization, its “smartness,” and overarching “internet of things
(IoT).” The latter refers to interconnected objects and ...
Licensed spectrum remains 3GPP operators’ top priority to deliver
advanced services and user experience
Opportunistic use of unlicensed spectrum is becoming an important
complement for operators to meet the growing traffic demand
Moving forward 3GPP operators will have two options to offload
traffi ...
In this paper we revisit hybrid analog-digital precoding systems with emphasis on their modelling
and radio-frequency (RF) losses, to realistically evaluate their benefits in 5G system implementations.
For this, we decompose the analog beamforming networks (ABFN) as a bank of commonly used RF
compon ...
Radio propagation measurements and channel modelling continue to be of fundamental importance
to radio system design. As new technology enables dynamic spectrum access and higher data rates,
radio propagation effects such as shadowing, the presence of multipath and frequency dispersion
are the limit ...
The need to develop reliable microelectronic devices capable of operating at high
speeds with complex functionality requires a better understanding of the factors
that govern the thermal performance of electronics. With an increased demand
on system reliability and performance combined with miniatur ...
Contamination and electrostatic discharge (ESD) are now becoming recognized as factors
affecting yield and reliability in an ever-increasing number of industries. Whereas contam-
ination traditionally was recognized as affecting the semiconductor, disk drive, aerospace,
pharmaceutical, and medical d ...
This paper reviews key factors to practical ESD
protection design for RF and analog/mixed-signal (AMS) ICs,
including general challenges emerging, ESD-RFIC interactions,
RF ESD design optimization and prediction, RF ESD design
characterization, ESD-RFIC co-design technique, etc. Practical
design exa ...
Wherever possible the overall technique used for this series will be "definition by example" withgeneric formulae included for use in other applications. To make stability analysis easy we will usemore than one tool from our toolbox with data sheet information, tricks, rules-of-thumb, SPICESimulatio ...
