Talk:Henry Stommel

message: The article leads one to believe that Stommel spent most of his career at MIT.  This is not true.  Most was at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
The dates have now been corrected. Stommel was at Harvard and MIT from 1959-1978 but lived in Falmouth 
Mass. for much of that period, having an office at WHOI but no paid position.--Srotor 01:10, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Radio network

message: The article name "Radio network" is confusing since it has different definition in different contexts. The word broadcasting (or broadcast) should also be included in the title i.m.h.o. Mange01 (talk) 16:09, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the article is too much of a hotchpotch at the moment. It would be better titled Broadcast radio network, with the "Two-way radio network" information transferred to a separate article. Additionally, more definitions are needed. Too much of the supposedly general information near the start of the article applies to the special case of US-style commercial broadcasting: it's perfectly valid information which ought to be included, but under its own heading. It ought to be made clear, too, that in the world beyond the US, at least, there is a distinction to be made between, on the one hand, a network of individual radio stations (each broadcasting a mix of shared, "networked" programming and a greater or lesser amount of distinctive, local programming from their own studios) and, on the other hand, a network of transmitters all broadcasting the same programming simultaneously across a region or a whole nation (what is frequently known in Europe as a radio "channel": most public-service broadcasters operate several such channels, each with its own distinctive style and content). -- Picapica (talk) 08:09, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Mek (comics)

message: Looking at WP:NOT point by point, I'd have to disagree. This is a comic series created by two notable creators (Ellis, in particular, is rather well known) and published by a major company (The Wildstorm imprint of Time Warner's DC Comics). Although it's not the best (or most popular) thing Ellis has done, it was successful enough to be collected and republished - and is still in print. Accordingly, I'm removing the unencyclopedic tag. If anyone disagrees, feel free to restore it - but a response here would also be useful. Thanks! --Mrph 21:21, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm not sure what the best tag to use would be (it's already marked as a stub, but I do see your point) - my understanding is that 'unencyclopedic' refers purely to the topic, not the state of the article, though. I don't have a copy of the comic to hand, but once I get a chance to re-read it, I should be hopefuly be able to fill the gaps in and expand this to a full article... --Mrph 21:27, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I do see where you are coming from with this. I may have been a bit defensive at first. I'll have a go at importing some of the WTCC article into this one. After that I guess it's just a case of redirecting the old article to this one. You won't really need to ask anybody else's opinion as I created the WTCC race article and if I'm happy then so be it. I would prefer a merger of the two names, something like FIA WTCC Guia Race of Macau (as per here), as that is it's current title.

message: In fact, John Major succeeded Margaret Thatcher during the period the three series were being produced. Major was never seen as the scheming Francis Urquhart character of the series, however.
Surely Major was, in a bizarre piece of foresight, Thatcher's fictional successor Henry Collingridge? At the start of TPTK, Urquhart tells the viewer something like "Remember the nice man who talked about the classless society? He had to go." Timrollpickering 23:54, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

In its current state, the Power Control article is specific to communications systems.  "Power Control" usually refers to "Electrical Power Control".

Talk:Channel allocation schemes

message: There's no information in the article that explains exactly how channel allocation works. Nothing regarding DCA or even the different types of FCA when you have channel borrowing or completely static.
What about distributed DCA either by cell-based or by signal strength measurements.
The only thing mentioned in this article is where DCA has been implemented, problems that FCA has with the TDMA or FDMA, and DCA vs widespectrum. In other words, there's no description at all on how Channel allocations works.

Talk:Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service

message: It is very true that Barack Obama has backed the need for an emergency alert system that uses mobile operators for the broadcasting of alert messages. However, there is absolutely no grounds to believe that operators will use MBMS for this. For all what is likely they will just use plain old unicast delivery. Note that there are no commercial deployments of MBMS known, and there likely won't be for some time to come because operators don't see the need right now. The introduction of LTE Advanced may change this, but until then... Nageh (talk) 16:42, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Absolutely. For this application, unicast is perfectly fast enough for all practical purposes. SMS's are very small, and networks very fast in comparison to their size. -- The Anome (talk) 12:46, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: How long time would it take to unicast an SMS to every US cell phone? Let's assume maximum 10000 cell phones in each cell, and in average at least 1 Mbps capacity per cell  for SMS purposes. Then the radio network would deliver it in 15 seconds. The problem is the node and backbone network capacity.  Mange01 (talk) 21:46, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

text: SMS based alerting would be fine but once operators start deploying MBMS over LTE then support for alerting message would be trival.  In other words, alerting itself is not sufficient reason to deploy MBMS over LTE but once it is in place even why not?  Recommend that we add alerting as an example use case but not be a primary motivation for deployment. Alistair9210 (talk) 08:33, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Proportional-fair scheduling

message: In all references I know about proportional fair, the expression
P=\frac{T^\alpha}{R^\beta}
appears with \alpha=\beta=1. The generalization to \alpha, \beta arbitrary is interesting. However, I have not found it in any of the two referenced papers. In which paper is this version of proportional fair (i.e. that with arbitrary exponents \alpha,\beta) introduced or discussed?
Another question is: should "proportional fair" denote the general expression, or the one with \alpha=\beta=1)? As I said, all references I read call the version without exponents "proportional fair". Perhaps the paper that introduced the exponents gave that version some name; or else could it be called "generalized proportional fair"?

thread_title:  Exponents 

message: The article states that the weights are w_i = 1/c_i, where c_i is the cost of consumed resources per data bit. However this is not true of the "Proportional Fair Scheduling" algorithm used in CDMA HDR (high data rate) systems (next section).  However according to David Tse https://web.stanford.edu/~dntse/papers/ima810.pdf:  (quote) "Round-Robin Policy • Give same number of time slots to all the users in a round-robin fashion, regardless of their channel conditions. Proportional fair policy: • Give roughly the same number of time slots to all users, but try to transmit to a user when its channel condition is near its peak" (end quote). In the above same = round robin. So w_i = 1/N, where N is number of users. If w_i is proportional to SNR_i, then the throughput achieved will be ratio of SNR_i^2. However, I have seen this w_i = 1/c_i in a few other places and hence am not sure how to edit this article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by IrfanAli04 (talk • contribs) 13:18, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
