Energy optimization strategy on the IoT equipment based on the scheduler by Wanfang ZHAO, Yong HAN

“…A scheduling strategy to optimize energy consumption was proposed to reduce the energy consumption of the edge system in view of the fast growth of energy consumption demand in the internet of things.Based on the analysis of the power management architecture and the energy consumption composition in the typical multi-core terminal system,in view of the shortcomings of the existing system power management module,the scheduler load balancing mechanism was improved to control system energy consumption and the implementation process and implementation points of the strategy were given.The strategy was tested in the multi-core simulation system.The result shows that in low load scenarios,that is,in scenarios that CPU does not need to do data-intensive computing,the energy-saving effect of this strategy is obvious,such as data acquisition,equipment monitoring and other typical internet of things applications.…”

Multicast service protection algorithm based on elastic optical network by Jingjing WU, Jianfang ZHANG

“…With the rapid growth of the network traffic,the elastic optical network (EON) has been proposed as a promising solution due to its high spectrum efficiency and flexible bandwidth provision.Meanwhile,multicast routing and spectrum allocation,and the survivability of the network become more challenging than that in the conventional optical network.The routing for multicast traffic and its protection algorithm in EON was investigated.An integer linear programming (ILP) formulation with the objective to minimize total spectrum consumption was presented.In addition,a heuristic algorithm called multicast sub-tree protection algorithm (MSPA) to achieve sufficient protection and satisfy resources savings was designed.The simulation results demonstrate that comparing with the traditional multicast routing and protection algorithm,MSPA performs well in improving the blocking probability and the spectrum utilization of the network.…”

Approval and Release Method of Water Use Plans for Thermal Power Industry by LI Min, CHEN Yafen

“…This study summarizes the adopted or proposed approval and release methods for water use plans in response to the current imperfect system of such methods.On this basis,according to the water use characteristics of the thermal power industry,this study puts forward a “method of an average efficiency value of the first three years” for the approval and release of water use plans for the thermal power industry.The existing and newly proposed approval and release methods are applied to actual cases in the industry for applicability analysis.The results show that the proposed “method of an average efficiency value of the first three years” has a wider scope of application,delivers calculation results that are more in line with the reality,avoids a large gap between actual water consumption and an approved and released water amount,and meets better the relevant requirements of the current “water-saving priority”.…”

Research on algorithm for raster map multi-level sharing based on region incrementing color visual cryptography by Liguo FANG, Zhengxin FU, Hao HU, Gang SHEN, Bin YU

“…In view of the characteristics of raster map,important data of the map were divided into different map layers by using the idea of map segmentation.A regional incremental color visual cryptographic scheme for raster map sharing was designed,and a model based on this scheme was proposed.At the same time,the specific application process was given.In order to solve the problem of large pixel expansibility and poor visual effect of image recovery in traditional regional incremental visual cryptography scheme,random numbers and the access structure optimization were used.Construction of the method was simple and the additional overhead of generating and saving the encryption matrix was avoided.The experimental results show that the scheme can achieve multilevel raster map sharing with the map’s perfect recovery,meanwhile the extension of the scheme pixel is greatly reduced.…”

Cooperative MIMO transmission scheme for clustered ad hoc networks by Wen-jiang FENG, Wei ZHAO, Dong WANG

“…The potential of cooperative multiple-input multiple-output (CMIMO) transmission was explored.An according CMIMO transmission scheme was proposed for clustered ad hoc networks,including two critical aspects.The first was weighted cooperative node selection algorithm,which synthesized the asymmetrical bi-directional channel state information (CSI) between nodes,as well as the nodes’ residual energy and connectivity.Consequently,a set of optimal nodes was selected to develop the CMIMO system mentioned above.The second was the mechanism of establishing and maintaining virtual link between two virtual nodes.Simulation shows that the proposed CMIMO transmission scheme affords higher capacity against SISO,and the scheme with node selection is more energy-efficient than that without node selection for the 70% energy saved.…”

Green virtual network embedding algorithm based on particle swarm optimization by Hua QU, ANBin F, Ya GUO, Li WANG, Jihong ZHAO

“…Green network is a hotspot in network research recent years,virtual network embedding（VNE）algorithm which focuses on saving energy,becomes very important in resource allocation in the network virtualization.A green VNE algorithm which applies swarm particle optimization（GVNE-PSO）was proposed,the evolution behaviors and parameters of each particle was redefined,and the number of nodes and links that could be switched off as the fitness function were considered,the optimum solution of green VNE in a low time complexity was achieved.The results show that compared to the exiting algorithm,it greatly reduced the time complexity offline,when online,it also raised the rate of virtual network acceptance,and the same with nodes and links that can be switched off,what's more,the performance period are shorter.…”
