Review of deterministic networking technology by Xiaodong DUAN, Peng LIU, Lu LU, Tao SUN, Zhiqiang LI

“…Deterministic networking was proposed to meet the demands of high bandwidth, low delay and high reliability for audio and video, industrial control, power protection and other applications.With the development of new services such as virtual/augmented reality and cloud games, the application scenarios of deterministic networking have been enriched, and the scope of deterministic networking technology has also been extended.In view of the overall consideration of current application scenarios, technical standards and industrial development, the strong and weak deterministic requirements and characteristics for different scenarios were analyzed, as well as different kinds of deterministic networking technologies, including scientific and engineering.The diversified development path of deterministic networking was proposed and the development of combination technologies of deterministic networking for 6G and computing force network was looked forward.…”

Research on uplink coverage enhancement of 5G network by Yuhua HU, Xinyan WANG, Bei LI

“…The 5G network frequency band is mostly high frequency band, which is rich in bandwidth resources, but the path loss and penetration loss are high, and the uplink coverage is relatively weak.If the low frequency band resources are introduced for uplink transmission, the cooperation of high and low frequency carriers will help to improve the uplink coverage.The link budget and coverage performance of 2.1 GHz and 3.5 GHz bands were analyzed, three uplink coverage enhancement schemes were compared, and the advantages and limitations of carrier aggregation scheme were analyzed.The result shows that carrier aggregation scheme is the optimal solution for 5G network uplink coverage enhancement.…”

Improved variable step-size LMS algorithm based on hyperbolic tangent function by Jianwu ZHANG, Hao YU, Qianhua ZHANG

“…In order to improve that the LMS algorithm for determining step size cannot satisfy both rapid convergence and low steady-state misalignment errors,a variable step size algorithm (IVSSLMS) based on an improved hyperbolic tangent function was proposed.The step size feedback factor and the correlation value of the error signal were used to adjust the step size,and the problems of slow convergence speed and poor anti-noise ability of the fixed-step size algorithm was overcame.The performance and parameters settings of the proposed algorithm were analyzed.The simulation results show that IVSSLMS has a faster convergence rate,lower steady-state error and better system tracking capability than the existing variable step size algorithms under high and low SNR conditions.…”

Camp Transvestism in Ackroyd’s Dan Leno and the Limehouse Golem (1994) by Justine GONNEAUD

“…Secondly, it examines the camp aesthetics of cross-dressing in the novel, a sensibility that challenges narrative categories and literary genres by reappropriating the codes of high and low culture. Finally, it demonstrates that the politics and aesthetics of cross-dressing are tied to a spiritual experience, reconnecting transvestism with its initial shamanic or religious dimension, thus turning the writing experience into a sacred performance of dispossession of identity.…”
