shannon capacity limits of wireless networks
SSC'07 Proceedings of the 2007 international conference on Sequences subsequences and consequences, 2007Co-Authors: Andrew J ViterbiAbstract:Two wideband physical-layer multiple access techniques for mobile telephony and data are compared: CDMA, which in one of several manifestations has been chosen for virtually all third Generation cellular systems, and OFDM with MIMO, which seems to be the most favored for a Future Generation. We compare the Shannon capacities of the two and conclude that with appropriate processing CDMA and OFDM capacities are similar but that the latter may more effectively be combined with MIMO antennas to provide higher capacities.

Voting on Behalf of a Future Generation: A Laboratory Experiment
Sustainability, 2019Co-Authors: Yoshio Kamijo, Yoichi Hizen, Tatsuyoshi Saijo, Teruyuki TamuraAbstract:This paper investigates a new voting rule wherein some people are given extra votes to serve as proxies for Future Generations. We predict that this voting scheme affects the voting behavior of those who do not receive an extra vote (i.e., single-ballot voters) because they are less likely to become a pivot, while proxy voters are expected to behave in support of the Future Generation. To test this prediction, we compare three scenarios wherein single-ballot voters would cast a vote: (a) one-voter-one-vote scenario wherein all voters cast only a single ballot; (b) a standard proxy-voting scenario wherein other voters cast two ballots, and the second vote is to cast for the benefit of a Future Generation; and (c) a non-proxy-voting scenario wherein other voters cast two ballots with no explanation for the second vote. The result shows that single-ballot voters are less inclined to vote for the Future-oriented option in (c) than in (a). This indicates the potential drawback of the new voting scheme. However, there is no difference in the single-ballot voters’ decision between (a) and (b), indicating that the explanation of the second ballot as the proxy is important for reducing the interGenerational inequality through this voting reform.

Negotiating with the Future: incorporating imaginary Future Generations into negotiations
Sustainability Science, 2017Co-Authors: Yoshio Kamijo, Asuka Komiya, Nobuhiro Mifune, Tatsuyoshi SaijoAbstract:People to be born in the Future have no direct influence on current affairs. Given the disconnect between people who are currently living and those who will inherit the planet left for them, individuals who are currently alive tend to be more oriented toward the present, posing a fundamental problem related to sustainability. In this study, we propose a new framework for reconciling the disconnect between the present and the Future whereby some individuals in the current Generation serve as an imaginary Future Generation that negotiates with individuals in the real-world present. Through a laboratory-controlled interGenerational sustainability dilemma game (ISDG), we show how the presence of negotiators for a Future Generation increases the benefits of Future Generations. More specifically, we found that when faced with members of an imaginary Future Generation, 60% of participants selected an option that promoted sustainability. In contrast, when the imaginary Future Generation was not salient, only 28% of participants chose the sustainable option.

Hearing the voice of Future Generations: A laboratory experiment of ``Demeny voting''
2015Co-Authors: Yoshio Kamijo, Yoichi Hizen, Tatsuyoshi SaijoAbstract:We report the first experimental evidence on the effect of ``Demeny voting,'' wherein some people (e.g., parents) are given additional votes as proxy for the Future Generation (e.g., their children). In our experiment, three subjects are separated into the present and Future Generations, two of them regarded as the present Generation. The present Generation members are asked to determine the resource allocation between the present and Future Generations by majority voting. We compare voting behaviors and outcomes between ordinary majority voting (i.e., each of the two in the present Generation has one vote) and Demeny voting (i.e., one of the two has two votes while the other has one vote). We obtain mixed evidence on whether the outcome of Demeny voting reflects the interest of the Future Generation. A remarkable finding is that half of the subjects who voted in favor of the Future Generation under ordinary voting reversed their decisions when they were given only one vote under Demeny voting; that is, they voted in favor of the present Generation. This finding highlights the need, when planning to introduce Demeny voting, to consider the behaviors of not only people who are given additional votes but also those with only one vote. Finally, we compare voting behaviors between male and female subjects. We find that female subjects use their additional votes for the Future Generation more frequently than male subjects do, implying that women are less likely to abuse their proxy position than are men.

service user involvement in uk social service agencies and social work education
Journal of Social Work Education, 2017Co-Authors: Carolyn Goossen, Michael J AustinAbstract:ABSTRACTForming partnerships with service users became a requirement for social work education programs in the United Kingdom as of 2003, leading to the development of innovative approaches to social work education that involve service users as experts who are helping to teach the Future Generation of social workers. This article examines the perceptions of service user involvement and how it is implemented in the United Kingdom in the social service sector and the university setting, and concludes with implications for the United States.
