One-Number Plans Are Bad Plans
A probabilistic approach to planning would be better, but our supply chain tools have not supported this approach well until now.

Internet of Things (IoT) networks have gained significant attention in recent years as it has the potential to transform various industries. A key concern, however, is that sensing devices have limited operational lifetime. Specifically, they have finite energy, which affects the amount of data they are able to collect and upload. One solution is to power these devices wirelessly, where devices harvest energy from Radio Frequency (RF) signals from transmitters such as a Hybrid Access Point (HAP). A key issue, however, is that energy delivery and data transmissions may be conducted on the same ...

The ubiquitous deployment of IEEE 802.11 based Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) or WiFi networks has resulted in dense deployments of Access Points (APs) in an effort to provide wireless links with high data rates to users. This, however, causes APs and users/stations to experience a higher interference level. This is because of the limited spectrum in which WiFi networks operate, resulting in multiple APs operating on the same channel. This in turn affects the signal-tonoise-plus interference ratio (SINR) at APs and users, leading to low data rates that limit their quality of service (QoS...
British researchers say they have developed an AI tool that calculates whether it would be worth it to bail out a failing bank.
