Gain-aware caching scheme for information-centric networking by Long CHEN, Hong-bo TANG, Xing-guo LUO, Yi BAI, Zhen ZHANG

“…The in-network caching system of information-centric networking had to deal with the popularity of huge number of content chunks and make efficient usage of storage resources.A content popularity based caching gain opti-mization model aimed to get maximum reduction of content retrieve cost was established,and a gain-aware caching scheme was proposed.By utilizing filtering effect of cache to request flow is scheme achieves caching cooperation and diversity potentially while maximizing caching gain of every single node.Bloom filter based sliding window strategy captures the content chunks with high caching gain according to request arrival interval and retrieval cost from the source.Analysis shows that the method can drastically reduce memory consumption caused by popularity monitoring.The simu-lation results illuminate that this scheme is well aware of content popularity based caching gain,and gets better band-width saving and cache hit ratio when content popularity is changing dynamically.…”

Multi-objective Reliability Optimization of NGW Type Reducer of the Road-rail Vehicle by Wen Junhu, Zheng Wei, Hao Shuai

“…Aiming at the problem of multi-objective reliability optimization for the reducer of road-rail vehicle,firstly,it must be ensured that the electric wheel planetary gear reducer is in good working order and loading conditions meet the requirements of transmission.By applying the reliability theory and optimization design technology,the reducer weight reduction,materials saving,low cost can be realized safety and reliability is improved.The MATLAB optimization toolbox is used to solve the problem of the optimization of reducer.Taking the volume and contact ratio as multi-objective optimization function,then the multi-objective optimization problem is transformed into single-objective problem to solve by the linear weighted method.The mathematical model is established by using the safety factor method and other constraints.By using Fmincon function,the optimizing calculation and analysis are carried out,the optimal solution is got,which makes the optimization design parameters more reasonable than the original design parameters.Consequently,the results show that the working performance of the electric wheel of the road-rail vehicle is improved.…”

A fast block partitioning algorithm for VVC intra coding based on depthwise separable convolution by Zhen YE, Guoxiang WANG, Junfeng SONG, Haokun LIU, Tiansong LI

“…The joint video exploration team (JVET) proposed versatile video coding (VVC) as a new video coding standard, and its quadtree plus multi-type tree (QTMTT) partition structure brings effective coding performance improvements.However, it brings about a sharp increase in encoding complexity, which greatly increases the encoding time.In order to solve the above problems, a fast block partitioning algorithm for VVC intra coding based on depthwise separable convolution was proposed.The pixel of coding unit (CU) was used as input, and the texture information feature of CU was extracted through depth-separable convolution.Therefore, accurate partition mode prediction was realized in the QTMT structure in VVC, and the complexity of the encoder was reduced by skipping low-probability partition modes.Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm saves 18% to 48% of encoding time on the VTM 15.2, and only brings an average performance loss of 0.15%.And the additional complexity brought by the lightweight depthwise separable convolution calculation is also negligible.…”

New slot management scheme supporting ONU sleep mode by Yin-fa ZHANG, Lei JIA, Jian YANG, Tao LIU

“…Aimed at the problem of optical network units(ONU) energy saving,a new based on the polling cycle time slot management scheme was proposed.In this scheme,polling cycle was a bandwidth allocation unit,and the transceiver time slots for each ONU were assigned at the beginning of each polling cycle,then the slot allocation information was broadcasted to each ONU through a modified GATE frame.Each ONU received the GATE frame,and extracted its own slot allocation information,and thus received or transmitted data within the allocated time slots in the polling cycle.When there was no need for receiving or transmitting data,the ONU would go into sleep mode with low energy consumption.Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation calculations show that the ONU with new time slot management scheme is only 11% of the energy consumption of the ordinary ONU,While the introduction of the downlink packet delay don’t exceed 2ms,and downlink average queue length is less than 2Mbit.…”
