Content delivery networks (CDN) bring the content close to the users employing the replicated servers. In this context, main issue is allocation of the content replicas to these geographically distributed replica servers. The allocation goal is to minimize the storage and the delivery costs and at the same time to satisfy service-level agreements. In this paper, a mixed integer programming (MIP) formulation for the problem of the allocation has been proposed and then by utilization of the genetic algorithm (GA) its optimum solutions were extracted. Numerical evaluation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms others in terms of the storage cost, delivery cost and computation complexity.
This paper presents a second-order bandpass filter for IF frequencies in the range of 500 kHz–2 MHz. By using a single Gm–cell as a biquad filter, considerable saving in area and power is feasible. Higher order structures can be achieved by cascading this second-order block. This Gm-C filter achieves a dynamic range of 37 dB for 1% IM3 in Bluetooth while dissipating only 10.5 mW from 3.3 power supply in 0.35 μm CMOS process. The on-chip indirect automatic tuning circuit sets the filter center frequency to an external reference clock.
In this paper, a [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text] low-pass and low power filter with tunable in-band attenuation for WiMAX/LTE receiver is presented. The fourth-order filter consists of two cascaded biquad stages. The source-follower (SF) stage is used as a key building block in these biquads. In this paper, we have presented a circuit technique to reduce the nonlinearity of the SF stage resulting from unmatched signal swings at the gate and source terminals of the input transistor. The proposed SF stage, is used for design of a linear biquad which is then utilized in a fourth-order Butterworth low-pass filter. The simulation results of the filter for bandwidth of 10 MHz show that the IIP3 of the filter is equal to 8.22[Formula: see text]dBm, in-band noise density is 100[Formula: see text]nV/[Formula: see text]Hz and power consumption is 5.9[Formula: see text]mW. The supply voltage of the filter is equal to 1[Formula: see text]V.
