Parlay and OGSA based framework for service creation in NGN by LIU Zhen1, YANG Jing 2, LI Guo-jie2, ZHANG Guo-qing2

“…A parlay and open grid services architecture（OGSA） based framework for service creation in NGN was pro-posed,which not only provided uniform access to heterogeneous network capabilities,but also built effective distributed convergence mechanisms beyond them.Then a service-oriented method for communication between Parlay and OGSA was further proposed.It was a new and significant attempt to apply grid technologies to telecommunication service crea-tion.The validity of the proposed framework for flexible service creation spanning heterogeneous networks is verified by simulations.Moreover,the proposed framework can support legacy communication terminals without upgrading on cli-ent.…”

Slot-predicting based ALOHA algorithm for RFID anti-collision by LI Meng, QIAN Zhi-hong, ZHANG Xu, WANG Yi-jun

“…The proposed algorithm modified the prior frame size by comparison with the preset decision threshold and identified the end conditions based on the value of accumulation factor C of EPC protocol.The slot-predicting binary se-lection scheme was used in each frame to accelerate idle slots and solve collisions with binary selection instantly,so that to reduce the invalid slots.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can increase the system throughput and consumes less power and fewer time slots than previous work,and provide a solution for data collection of Internet of Things which takes RFID tags as perceptive terminal nodes.…”

Dynamic SDN controller placement based on latency in LEO satellite network by Zhenzhen HAN, Guofeng ZHAO, Chuan XU, Wentao ZHOU, Yangyang ZHOU

“…In view of the problem of large network latency when the controller synchronized information to maintain the global network view,the latency-based SDN controller on-demand placement scheme was proposed.Firstly,the satellite subnet division method based on redundant coverage was designed according to the relative velocity of satellite and terminal.Then,the controller placement model was established by analyzing the response latency of the satellite distributed control.Finally,the controller placement problem was transformed into the soft capacitated facility location problem,and the approximation algorithm was designed to solve the model.The experimental results show that the proposed scheme can optimize network latency while meeting networking coverage demands.…”
