Coordinated UAV-UGV trajectory planning based on load balancing in IoT data collection by Yuchao ZHU, Shaowei WANG

“…To improve the efficiency of large-scale Internet of things (IoT) data collection, a coordinated trajectory planning algorithm for multiple aerial and ground vehicles based on load balancing region partitioning was proposed, where unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) acting as aerial base stations were dispatched to gather data from IoT devices and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) acting as mobile battery swap stations were used to compensate for the shortage of UAV’s energy.Aiming at shortening the mission completion time, the optimization task was to minimize the longest mission time among a fleet of UAV-UGVs, which was formulated as a variant of min-max multi-depot vehicle routing problem and solved from the load-balancing perspective.Specifically, the IoT devices were assigned to the UAV-UGVs’ service zones by a load-balancing region partition algorithm, based on which the trajectory planning problem of multiple UAV and UGV was reduced to several independent route planning problems for each UAV-UGV pair.Then, a cooperative trajectory planning strategy was developed to optimize the route in each service zone.Numerical results validate that the proposed algorithm outperforms the compared algorithms in terms of mission completion time and balancing degree.…”

Transparency, nonclassicality, and nonreciprocity in chiral waveguide quantum electrodynamics by Qingtian Miao, G. S. Agarwal

“…In particular, for two qubits detuned antisymmetrically with respect to the central waveguide frequency, we find transparency in forward transmission and in photon numbers for arbitrary values of the input powers provided the phase separation between qubits is an integer multiple of π. Values of g^{(2)}(0) less than unity can be reached even for nonzero value of the intrinsic damping by using phase separation different from integer multiple of π, marking the transition from classical to quantum light. …”

Multilayer Orthogonal Beamforming for Priority-Guaranteed Wireless Communications by Jindong Xie, Jun Zhang, Lin Bai

“…In order to support efficient spectrum sharing between M2M devices and normal mobile users, in the paper, we propose a multilayer orthogonal beamforming (MOBF) scheme for M2M communications over orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA-) based cellular systems. Using MOBF, each subcarrier in OFDMA systems could be efficiently reused by both normal mobile users and machine-type devices which are organized into multiple virtual layers. …”

Individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis: An introduction – Narrative review by Ekta Rai, Vibhavari Naik, Aparna Williams, Mohan S. Kamath

“…In contrast, individual participant data meta-analysis (IPD-MA) includes and segregates individual patient data to study new outcomes, identify outcome predictors, and analyse multiple covariate effects on treatments. IPD-MA requires data from multiple investigators, review board approvals, clear communication with collaborators, and statistical recalculation of cumulative data. …”

Performance analysis for cooperative NOMA networks based SWIPT with adaptive power splitting by Zheng YANG, Yun ZHENG, Yuehao YU, Yi WU, Zhicheng DONG, Song XING

“…In order to improve the spectrum effectiveness, decrease the power consumption of wireless communication system, for a two-way cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) network with simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT), an adaptive power splitting scheme of SWIPT was proposed.Based on the decode-and-forward protocol and the users’ distance information, the successive interference cancellation was carried out at the relay to decode the users’ messages and harvest the energy from the sources.An adaptive power splitting scheme was proposed based on users’ channel state information, which the relay could successfully decode the users’ information and harvest the most energy from the sources.Based on the harvested energy, the relay forwarded the decoded information of the users in the next time slot.According to the proposed adaptive power splitting scheme, the overall outage probability, end-to-end outage probability, and the diversity gain at high signal-to-noise ratio were derived.Compared with three-way cooperative orthogonal multiple access network with fixed power splitting of SWIPT, the proposed adaptive power splitting of SWIPT for two-way cooperative NOMA networks can achieve much better outage performance.…”
