“…A novel random multi-access MAC protocol for WSN using the multi-channel and the probability detection and 1-persistent access policy in the packet transmit（1+a） was proposed.The throughputs of the PDPMRM protocol and the multi-traffic were obtained.Simulations agree with the theoretical analysis.Also,the energy efficiency was analyzed for WSN by choice of probability p to control the waking nodes in busy period and the sleeping nodes in idle period.The sleeping technique realized the purpose of saving energy.By using contrast of energy efficiency between PDPMRM and improved PDPMRM,this improved PDPMRM has longer life cycle,it is more suitable for WSN.…”

Nowcasting of China’s industrial added value based on electric power big data by Fang PENG, Gaoqun PENG, Yaru QI, Tiantian LIU, Xiaolei ZHOU

“…Industrial added value is an important indicator to measure the operation of the real economy.In order to fully mine the value of power data in the current macroeconomic nowcasting, so as to serve the government policy making, the Bagging and Boosting algorithms in machine learning were applied to nowcast industrial added value based on electric power data as well as traditional statistical data.Firstly, traditional statistical data can significantly improve the forecasting effect of the ARIMA model.Secondly, the nowcasting ability of electric power data depends on the selection of electric power indicators, and the proper electric power index is helpful to predict industrial added value more timely and accurately.Thirdly, the prediction ability of electric power data to the industrial added value in the current period may be lower than that in the future, which means the power data is more likely to be used to predict ahead of time.…”
