Reconfigurable buffer mechanism in switch fabric design by Hui-qun HUANG, Qin-rang LIU, You-jun BU, Feng-yu ZHANG

“…Current research focused on the theoretic buffer size of routers.The reconfigurable buffer tried to improve the buffer utilization rate to optimize the system performance based on the on-demand design of the reconfigurable system.In fact,for current switching fabrics with fixed buffers,cell loss under burst traffics still could not be resolved at some ports despite abundant buffers were free.The reconfiguration mechanism was introduced into buffers,which broke the private occupancy of buffers by single ports and reconfigured buffers due to the real-time requirements of per port.Analysis and simulation results show that the reconfiguration mechanism could resolve the problem of resource consumption effectively,and improve the ultilization of buffers as well as save buffers with the same anti-burst performance.…”

Novel open-WDM technical architecture for 5G fronthaul network by Dong WANG, Han LI, Dechao ZHANG, Qian CAI, Jiang SUN, Yang ZHAO, Yunbo LI, Liuyan HAN

“…C-RAN may be a promising way for 5G fronthaul network associated with significant changes in 5G fronthaul architecture.Based on the analysis of existing schemes such as optical fiber direct connection,passive WDM and active WDM/OTN,open wavelength division multiplexing (open-WDM) system was proposed to satisfy the new requirements of 5G fronthaul network.In the open-WDM system,WDM technology is used to save optical fiber resource and the semi-active architecture can achieve flexible deployment.The low-cost management and control technology was further applied to perform efficiently network operation.…”

Dynamics of a predator-prey system with prey subject to Allee effects and disease by Yun Kang, Sourav Kumar Sasmal, Amiya Ranjan Bhowmick, Joydev Chattopadhyay

“…In addition, the comparison study between the dynamics of SIP-Allee Model and SIP-no-Allee Model lead to the following conclusions: 1) In the presence of Allee effects, species are prone to extinction and initial condition plays an important role on the surviving of prey as well as its corresponding predator; 2) In the presence of Allee effects, disease may be able to save prey from the predation-driven extinction and leads to the coexistence of S and I-class while predator can not save the disease-driven extinction. …”

Link duration probability based cross-layer routing protocol for epoch-based movement by SUN Jie, GUO Wei

“…The end to end transmission performance is very poor because of routing failure caused by node movement in MANET.To solve this problem,an algorithm for the link duration probability of epoch-based movement was proposed,and based on which a link duration probability based cross-layer routing protocol for epoch-based movement（LPCP） was proposed.LPCP cross-layer interacts with transport layer,and considered both the maximum path availability and the minimum hops of an end to end connection.Three complementary mechanisms:routing switch,save then forward,ack reconfirm were proposed to prevent routing failure and the transmission efficiency reduction.It is shown by computer simulation that LPCP results in a significant improvement of the packet loss caused by routing failure,and increase the throughput much more.…”

Provably secure secret sharing scheme based on bilinear maps by LI Hui-xian1, PANG Liao-jun2

“…A method to construct provable secure secret sharing scheme using bilinear pairing was recommended.Firstly,the semantic security definition for secret sharing scheme is given,which is developed from the standard definition of semantic security for the public key cryptosystems.Then,a new secret sharing scheme based on the bilinear maps is pro-posed,with its correctness,security and performance analyzed and proven subsequently.Compared with the existing schemes,the proposed scheme is provably secure.At the same time,the proposed scheme departs the private key compu-tation of participants from the secret distribution process and the dealer does not have to securely save each participant’s private key,which makes this scheme more secure and more efficient.Therefore,the proposed scheme is more applicable than the existing ones.…”

Parallel MAC protocol based on geographical location information and power control in ad hoc networks by LEI Lei, XU Zong-ze

“…The conflict interference produced by the parallel transmission of the exposed nodes was investigated,and a parallel MAC protocol based on geographical location information and power control in ad hoc networks was proposed.This protocol identified the exposed nodes by their geographical location information and introduced the power control mechanism into the parallel transmission of the exposed nodes.When the probability of the successful parallel transmis-sion was low,the protocol reduced the parallel transmissions by using the random backoff mechanism,thus avoided the interference caused by the failed parallel transmission and the energy consumption of the nodes.The simulation results show that,compared with the DCF protocol,this new protocol can improve the average throughput of the network sig-nificantly and save the average energy consumption of the nodes simultaneously,thus prolong the lifetime of the nodes and the network.…”

Application of MEC-based positioning technology in the Internet of vehicles by Bo GU, Ting AO

“…Positioning is not only the cornerstone of ensuring the safe driving of vehicles, but also the foundation of many location-related services.The development and application of the positioning technology have greatly affected the development prospects of the Internet of vehicles.Mobile edge computing can migrate intensive computing tasks to the edge of the network adjacent to the car or roadside.By sinking the computing power to the edge of the network, mobile edge computing can offload the load of network transmission, save the transmission bandwidth, and support Internet of vehicles applications powerfully.It was aimed to study the integration of MEC and IoV positioning technology, and form the overall architecture of MEC-based positioning technology by analyzing the application scenarios and integration requirements of MEC integrated positioning technology in IoV.At the same time, the opportunities and challenges of the architecture were further analyzed to provide an important reference for the subsequent standardization of MEC-based positioning technology and the application in the Internet of vehicles.…”
