Intelligent and open new generation telecom service architecture and its key technologies by Jianxin LIAO, Hao ZHANG, Tong XU, Lingfei NI, Jingyu WANG, Wenfu WU

“…For complex heterogeneous networks,IOTSA (intelligent and open telecom service architecture) based on the comprehensive decoupling of service systems was proposed,as well as core mechanisms such as intelligent scheduling of network resources,dynamic service orchestration and combination,and intelligent monitoring of abnormal behavior.Through the establishment of a three-level interface and four-layer capability opening architecture,multi-granular capability opening and comprehensive resource sharing were realized,which met the needs of multiple scenarios.Key technologies such as low-risk and low-cost rapid decoupling of service systems and dynamic coordination of multiple services were proposed.These achievements had formed a series of international standards and had been applied on a large scale on existing networks.By providing a large number of ultra-fine-grained capabilities,396 atomic capabilities,and flexible composite capabilities,the development of operator and third-party services and applications were strongly supported.…”

Time delay estimation algorithm of narrow band internet of things based on inter-cell interference cancellation by Hong TANG, Hongyan MOU, Haolan YANG

“…Aiming at the characteristics of NB-IoT such as low power consumption,low cost and low sampling rate,an NB-IoT delay estimation algorithm based on inter-cell interference cancellation was proposed.To gradually eliminate the interaction between signals in each cell,an inter-cell iterative interference cancellation algorithm was considered.In each iteration,the idea of time-frequency cross-correlation overlapping was introduced on the basis of traditional correlation algorithms to break through the limitations of the sampling rate and further improve the accuracy of time delay estimation.At the same time,a first-arrival-path (FAP) searching algorithm based on noise threshold was used to suppress multipath effects.Through experimental simulation,the results show that the proposed algorithm can significantly improve the time delay estimation accuracy of NB-IoT on the basis of related algorithms.…”

Efficient Removal of Methylene Blue from Aqueous Solution by Adsorption of Ceramic-Based Composite DBPC@HKUST-1 by FENG Yanzhao, WU Yixiong, CHEN Xinhong

“…HKUST-1 crystals with excellent properties are grown in situ on low-cost and high-stability diatomite-based porous ceramic (DBPC) by the non-uniform nucleation growth method.The successful preparation of the composite DBPC@HKUST-1 is verified by XRD,FTIR,and SEM characterization.At the same time,the adsorption performance of DBPC@HKUST-1 for methylene blue (MB) is studied,and the adsorption kinetics,adsorption isotherm,adsorption thermodynamics and the influence of pH are analyzed.The results show that the adsorption behavior is consistent with the quasi-second-order kinetic model and Freundlich isothermal model.The maximum adsorption capacity of DBPC@HKUST-1 for MB is 378.788 mg/g.The adsorption thermodynamics indicates that the adsorption behavior is a spontaneous exothermic reaction.Therefore,DBPC@HKUST-1,as a cheap green adsorbent,is expected to be the best candidate material for the treatment of organic dye wastewater in the future industry.…”

Mathematical analysis for simulation of incompressible fluid flow by Rômulo Damasclin Chaves dos Santos, Jorge Henrique de Oliveira Sales

“… The omnipresence and complexity of physical phenomena drive the strong search for tools capable of simulating them, since many applications require computationally viable, reliable and, preferably, low-cost simulations. Thus, a priori, this work has two objectives: i) understand the theoretical foundations of fluid dynamics with an important computational method aimed at simulating incompressible flows, called SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic), which will subsequently be implemented; and ii) assist in the consolidation and application of key concepts in mathematical analysis for computer simulation. …”
