Spectrum Trading Analyze in the Spectrum Sharing Framework in Cognitive Radio Networks

Prince Semba Yawada (University of Science and Technology Beijing, Beijing, China), Mesmin J. Mbyamm Kiki (University of Science and Technology Beijing, Beijing, China), Mai Trung Dong (University of Science and Technology Beijing, Beijing, China)

The effective design of a cognitive radio network must take into account economic and technical aspects. This article presents a commercial formulation of the spectrum by the primary operators who decide to sell a part of their spectrum to a group of cognitive users in order to earn money and to promote the efficient use of the spectrum. Three systems of spectrum pricing are compared and suggested, such as the cooperative price based on the optimization of the profits, the market equilibrium, and the competitive prices focused on the competition of Bertrand. The Bertrand model examines the influences of certain parameters of the system such as the quality of the channel based on the Nash equilibrium and the substitutability of the spectrum. The differences in the various aspects of these systems of pricing are presented through the graphs. The authors note through the obtained result that the profit of the primary operator depends not only on the demand quantity of the spectrum but also on the behavior of the primary operators.

Knowledge Value, Task Complexity, and Enterprise Technology Implementation: An Introductory Study

Sharath Sasidharan (Bowling Green State University, USA)

Employees utilize their informal social networks for acquiring system-related knowledge during enterprise technology implementation. Prior research on knowledge acquisition through social networks has not considered the domain proficiency of knowledge sources or the quality of knowledge flows. This study assigns domain-proficiency levels to knowledge sources and introduces the concept of knowledge value: the net impact of acquired knowledge on performance outcomes. Conceptualized as the differential in the domain proficiency of the knowledge source and the knowledge recipient, knowledge value is examined in the context of both factual and applied knowledge, in relation to task complexity and its influence on performance outcomes. Data collected during the implementation of an enterprise resource planning system indicate that knowledge value has a significant impact on performance outcomes, but the impact of applied knowledge is moderated by task complexity. The results stress the importance of considering domain proficiency of knowledge sources during knowledge-network modelling.

Predictors of the Readiness to Use E-Government Services From Citizens' Perspective

Isaac Kofi Mensah (School of Economics and Management, Jiangxi University of Science and Technology, Ganzhou, China), Jianing Mi (School of Management, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin, China)

This article investigated the predictors of e-government services adoption from the citizens' perspective in Ghana. The results show that perceived service quality, perceived efficient public service delivery, computer self-efficacy and perceived transparent and accountable government (TAG) were all significant in predicting citizens' perspective towards the use of e-government services. Age as a demographic factor was found to have a direct impact on computer self-efficacy of citizens. However, gender and education were not significant in determining computer self-efficacy. The implications of these findings on the implementation of e-government are discussed.

The companies can respond to the customer's requirement more speedily with better quality by making a direct contact with them. Most of the online development work support itself with the revenue they earned through advertisements rather than subscription. Online marketing is one of the largest, effective and fastest advertising mediums. Today, it is an essential medium of advertising for meeting the desires and needs of the customer.

Routing Protocols Design and Performance Evaluation in Wireless Mesh Networks

Mohsen S. Alsaadi (Department of Electrical and Computer, Faculty of Engineering, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia), Naif D. Alotaibi (Department of Electrical and Computer, Faculty of Engineering, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia)

The wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have become one of the popular technologies of the wireless network utilization. WMN provides reliable and scalable wireless network because of its features such as dynamic self-organizing, self-configuring, Self-managing and self-healing. Routing protocols play an essential role in finding and establishing an active route from a source to a destination in WMNs. This article focuses on the performance evaluation and comparison of some routing protocols commonly used in WMNs for VoIP application: AODV, DSR, OLSR and TORA has been investigated over client Wireless Mesh Networks based on OPNET simulation in a different network sizes and mobility. This article presents a background of some designs and solutions based on an elaborated simulation investigation. The performance comparisons are carried out with regard to the node variation in network sizing and mobility. Based on the empirical outputs, the authors suggested that to utilize a specific routing protocol in certain situations.
