Sub-regional variability in the influence of ice-contact lakes on Himalayan glaciers by Alex C. Scoffield, Ann V. Rowan, Duncan J. Quincey, Jonathan L. Carrivick, Andrew J. Sole, Simon J. Cook

“…Ice-contact lakes modify glacier geometry and dynamics by shifting the majority of mass loss from the ice surface to the terminus. Lake-terminating glaciers are known to experience greater thinning rates and higher velocities than land-terminating glaciers, but the controls on variability in surface elevation change and ice flow between lake-terminating glaciers in different regions remain poorly explored. …”

IoT business guarantee method based on behavioral portrait by Longgang ZHAO, Hansheng LIU, Feng WANG, Shuang DI

“…IoT terminals have the characteristics of large user base, many manufacturers and numerous scenarios.It is difficult to unify the standard of poor quality and to locate the segment in the routine maintenance process.Aiming at the above phenomenon, a business guarantee method based on behavior portrait was proposed.Firstly, based on the distribution characteristics of key indicators, a fingerprint model of enterprise quality deficit was constructed, and the idea of mean shift clustering in statistical learning was used to realize the accurate construction of quality deficit index system.Then, to solve the problem that it was difficult to distinguish between the measurement terminal and the poor quality terminal, and it was difficult to identify the weak coverage terminal, a single user poor quality behavior portrait was constructed to effectively ensure the accuracy of the model.Finally, the pilot and analysis were carried out in the current network environment to provide reference for the IoT business guarantee.…”

Network slicing resource allocation algorithm based on bipartite graph matching in smart grids by Weiwei XIA, Yifei XIN, Dong LIANG, Jun WU, Xin WANG, Feng YAN, Lianfeng SHEN

“…To solve the problem of simultaneously satisfying the quality of service requirements of multiple types of services in smart grids and considering the economic utility of power terminals and network side, a network slicing resource allocation algorithm based on bipartite graph matching was proposed.For the control and collection services in smart grids, the corresponding bidding information was formulated for the power terminals, and the payment price and utility matrix were calculated accordingly.The resource allocation between the network slices and the power terminals was modeled as a bipartite graph matching problem.Different slicing resources were allocated to the terminals according to the latency, transmission rate, or energy consumption requirements of different services to maximize the system utility.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is able to improve the system utility by 10%～20% compared to the existing double auction algorithm and greedy algorithm.…”

Schedule-aware power management for energy-efficiency improvement in IEEE 802.11u WLAN by Di ZHANG

“…A mobile terminal supporting the IEEE 802.11u standard can automatically access a wireless local area network within the coverage of a network service provided by a wireless local area network.Aiming at the characteristics of IEEE 802.11u WLAN,a time series sensing based PSM (S-PSM) scheme was proposed.The transmission sequence information was broadcasted using a generic advertisement service (GAS) defined in the IEEE 802.11u standard,and all terminals controlled their own operating states according to the sequence information.In order to reduce the collision probability of the contention channel,a response contention window was introduced.When there was no data packet in the access point (AP),the AP broadcasted the GAS frame and activated the idle timer.All terminals went to sleep until the idle timer expires.The simulation results show that compared with the proposed traditional PSM,the scheme can significantly reduce power consumption and improve terminal energy-efficiency.…”

High-precision indoor fast positioning algorithm based on carrier phase by Shaoshuai FAN, Zhiqiang RONG, Hui TIAN, Lihua LI

“…In order to improve the positioning accuracy and the speed of position solution in indoor wireless environment, a high-precision indoor fast positioning algorithm based on carrier phase was proposed.By introducing the reference terminal, the influence of clock error between devices on the accuracy of the positioning algorithm was completely eliminated by using the double difference between the carrier phase measurements of the terminal to be positioned and the reference terminal.Taking advantage of the invariability of integer ambiguity during the phase-locked loop lock-off, an iterative integer ambiguity resolution algorithm based on multi-time point measurement data was designed, and the fast integer ambiguity resolution was realized.After the integer ambiguity was solved, the terminal to be located could be located with high precision by using accurate carrier phase difference measurement.The simulation results show that the positioning algorithm proposed can completely overcome the influence of clock error on positioning performance, and can achieve centimeter-level positioning accuracy at very few sampling time points.…”

Adaptive channel status based access class barring scheme for traffic emergency communication by Jiao WANG, Gongan QIU, Shibing ZHANG

“…In high-density cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X), effective massive access method of cluster communications is the basis to assure the performance index for different services and enhance the spectrum efficiency under limited resource.An improved access class barring (ACB) scheme was proposed using channel status information based on computing power of communication terminal in C-V2X.The base station estimated the communication density within its cover range, generated the ACB factor using the communication density, and broadcasted the ACB.According to signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) and ACB factor of the received broadcast signal, the vehicular communication terminal computed the access probability, and compared with ACB factor.When the access probability was more than the ACB factor, the terminal selected a preamble randomly from the preamble pool with the probability which equal to the access probability or one.The terminal transmited the selected preamble to the base station for finishing the access program.The simulation results show that the scheme proposed has 5%～20% advantage over S-Aloha and machine to machine opportunistic splitting algorithm (M2M-OSA) schemes in average access collision probability.It reduces the average access delay effectively.…”
