Re-annotation of SARS-CoV-2 proteins using an HHpred-based approach opens new opportunities for a better understanding of this virus by Brézellec, Pierre

“…We first show that the C-terminal part of Spike S (the protein that binds the virion to the cell membrane by interacting with the host receptor, triggering infection) has similarities with the human prominin-1/CD133; after reviewing what is known about prominin-1/CD133, we suggest that the C-terminal part of Spike S could both improve the docking of Spike S to ACE2 (the main cell entry receptor for SARS-CoV-2) and be involved in the delivery of virions to regions where ACE2 is located in cells. …”

A NB-IoT access scheme based on Beta distribution by Mengya LI, Zhengquan LI

“…As one of the emerging technologies of low-power wide-area Internet of things, narrow band Internet of things (NB-IoT) faces the pressure and challenge of massive connections of terminals.Aiming at practical application scenarios, a preamble allocation scheme based on Beta distribution was proposed.In this scheme, the energy consumption of each time slot device was firstly calculated.The equipment was divided into high energy consumption according to two grouping methods: average energy consumption and cumulative energy consumption.The preamble was assigned to the high-energy-consuming device group first, and the remaining preamble and the conflicting preamble of the high-energy-consuming device group were assigned to the low-energy-consuming device group.The simulation results show that compared with the traditional random allocation scheme, the proposed scheme can effectively improve the average access success rate and average throughput of the NB-IoT system, and can effectively reduce the back off time.…”

Application of reconfigurable intelligent surface in beamforming and information modulation by Qiang CHENG, Junyan DAI, Junchen KE, Jingcheng LIANG, Siran WANG

“…In modern mobile communications, the randomness, uncertainty, and uncontrollability of wireless channels are the pivotalfactors that affect the communication quality, which often leads to the deterioration of the signal quality at the receiving terminal, and thereby limiting the rate and range of information transmission.In the emerging study of 6G technology, reconfigurable intelligent surface is one of the research directions under active discussions, which is an ultra-thin artificial surface composed of sub-wavelength structures with field programmability and spatiotemporal information modulation capabilities.The reconfigurable intelligent surface can manipulate electromagnetic waves accurately and efficiently, thus providing the possibility for reshaping the wireless propagation environment.In this review, the concept of the reconfigurable intelligent surface, the beam forming method based on spatiotemporal modulation, the wireless relay and the communication system based on the reconfigurable intelligent surface were reviewed and discussed.It demonstrates the great potential of reconfigurable intelligent surface in assisting mobile communication, and provides new ideas for the development of 6G.…”
