In this paper, we consider a scenario where the base station (BS) collects time-sensitive data from multiple sensors through time-varying and error-prone channels. We characterize the data freshness at the terminal end through a class of monotone increasing functions related to Age of information (AoI). Our goal is to design an optimal policy to minimize the average age penalty of all sensors in infinite horizon under bandwidth and power constraint. By formulating the scheduling problem into a constrained Markov decision process (CMDP), we reveal the threshold structure for the optimal policy and approximate the optimal decision by solving a truncated linear programming (LP). Finally, a bandwidth-truncated policy is proposed to satisfy both power and bandwidth constraint. Through theoretical analysis and numerical simulations, we prove the proposed policy is asymptotic optimal in the large sensor regime. 相似文献
In this paper, a power penalty approximation method is proposed for solving a mixed quasilinear elliptic complementarity problem. The mixed complementarity problem is first reformulated as a double obstacle quasilinear elliptic variational inequality problem. A nonlinear elliptic partial differential equation is then defined to approximate the resulting variational inequality by using a power penalty approach. The existence and uniqueness of the solution to the partial differential penalty equation are proved. It is shown that, under some mild assumptions, the sequence of solutions to the penalty equations converges to the unique solution of the variational inequality problem as the penalty parameter tends to infinity. The error estimates of the convergence of this penalty approach are also derived. At last, numerical experimental results are presented to show that the power penalty approximation method is efficient and robust.
A *-ring R is called a nil *-clean ring if every element of R is a sum of a projection and a nilpotent.Nil *-clean rings are the *-version of nil-clean rings introduced by Diesl.This paper is about the nil *-clean property of rings with emphasis on matrix rings.We show that a *-ring R is nil *-clean if and only if J(R) is nil and R/J(R) is nil*-clean.For a 2-primal *-ring R,with the induced involution given by (aij)* =(a*ij)T,the nil *-clean property of Mn(R) is completely reduced to that of Mn(Z2).Consequently,Mn(R) is not a nil *-clean ring for n =3,4,and M2(R) is a nil *-clean ring if and only if J(R) is nil,R/J(R) is a Boolean ring and a*-a ∈ J(R) for all a ∈ R. 相似文献
