Research on multi-bit decoding algorithms for polar codes by Zhouqing SHEN, Junna SHANG

“…Aiming at the problem of high delay of successive cancellation lists (SCL) decoding algorithm for polar codes,a multi-bit SCL (MSCL) decoding algorithm based on log-likelihood ratio was proposed.The multiple codeword bits could be decoded simultaneously at a single decision time.Without loss of SCL decoding performance,the decoding delay was reduced from 3N-2 clocks to 4N/M-2 clocks.Compared with the existing multi-bit SCL decoding algorithm,the MSCL decoding algorithm had a lower complexity of the path metric calculation.In order to reduce the decoding delay and memory space of the cyclical redundancy check (CRC) assisted SCL (CA-SCL) decoding algorithm,a segmented CRC assisted MSCL (SCA-MSCL) decoding algorithm was proposed,and a segmentation information codeword length correction algorithm was proposed.By adjusting the length of the relevant segment,the information bit index set A was guaranteed.Under the same premise,the corresponding information bit index at the end of each segment could be divisible by M.The SCA-MSCL algorithm could output decoded code words as early as possible by using multiple CRC decisions,thereby reducing the decoder’s storage space and decoding delay.…”

Priority differentiated multicast flow scheduling method in Ceph cloud storage network by Wenlong KE, Yong WANG, Miao YE, Junqi CHEN

“…In order to solve the problem that existing flow scheduling method is difficult to meet the different multicast scheduling requirements of multi-service flows in the Ceph cloud storage network,a service priority-based multicast flow scheduling method was tailored.First,the network status was obtained via software defined network (SDN) to support flow scheduling.Then,a multicast task was decomposed into multiple attribute decision problems for multiple unicast path selection,and a method of unicast path selection based on technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) was proposed.The unicast path selection method was used to find the optimal unicast path set for the service flow based on the flow’s network performance requirements.Then,the multicast distribution node was determined by the maximum common sub-path among the optimal unicast path sets for construct a multicast transmission path.The experiment results show that the proposed method can reduce the transmission delay of high priority flows while reduce the redundant traffic and better balance the traffic loads compared with the existing methods.…”

Multi-node cooperative distributed offloading strategy in V2X scenario by Dun CAO, Yingbao ZHANG, Dian ZOU, Jin WANG, Qiang TANG, Baofeng JI

“…In order to cope with the dynamic changes of the offloading environment for computing resource-intensive and separable tasks in Internet of vehicle and deal with the problem that different collaborative nodes had different communication and computing resources, a distributed offloading strategy that multiple collaborative nodes had serial offloading mode and parallel computing mode in vehicle to everything (V2X) scenario was proposed.Utilizing the predictable motion trajectories of vehicle, the tasks were split into unequal parts, finally each part was computed on itself, mobile edge server, and vehicles in parallel.Then an optimization problem of the system time delay minimization was established.To solve the optimization problem, an offloading scheme based on the game theory was designed to determine the serial offloading execution order of the cooperative nodes.Considering the dynamic characteristics of Internet of vehicles, a sequential quadratic programming (SQP) algorithm was adopted to optimally split tasks.Finally, the simulation results show that the proposed strategy can effectively reduce system delay, and when multiple cooperative nodes offload in parallel, the proposed strategy can still maintain the stable system performance under the different parameter conditions.…”
