Cooperative MAC protocol based on network coding and space-time coding by Qian-bin CHEN, Jian LIU, Yong FENG, Lun TANG

“…Aiming at the problems in wireless ad hoc networks,such as relays’ low efficiency caused by cooperation and difficult to meet the different QoS requirements,a co e MAC protocol was proposed based on the combination of network coding and space-time coding(NSTCMAC).Based on NSTCMAC protocol with the combination of Network coding and space-time coding techniques,a kind of cooperative MAC transmission mechanism that could distinguish the type of DATA packet was designed in order to meet the QoS requirements of different types of transm Further more,cooperative transmission mechanism and its performance were analyzed through Markov chain model.When transmitting the non-real-time(NR) packets,network coding was adopted to improve the efficiency of relay nodes; when transmitting the real-time(R) packets,randomized distributed space-time coding(R-DSTC)was used to enhance the reliability of transmission.Simulation results show that NSTCMAC protocol can meet different QoS requirements better,and solve the problem of relays’ low efficiency more effectively,when compared with legacy DCF、COOPMAC and CD-MAC protocol.…”

Motion – Cyclo-oxygenase-2 Selective Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs are as Safe as Placebo for the Stomach: Arguments Against the Motion by Andreas Maetzel

“…Selective COX-2 inhibitors are less likely to damage the upper gastrointestinal tract, as has been shown by large, randomized, controlled trials. Specifically, the newer agents are superior to ibuprofen and naproxen in this regard, but celecoxib and diclofenac were not significantly different in patients who were not also taking low-dose acetylsalicylic acid. …”

Adaptive channel status based access class barring scheme for traffic emergency communication by Jiao WANG, Gongan QIU, Shibing ZHANG

“…In high-density cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X), effective massive access method of cluster communications is the basis to assure the performance index for different services and enhance the spectrum efficiency under limited resource.An improved access class barring (ACB) scheme was proposed using channel status information based on computing power of communication terminal in C-V2X.The base station estimated the communication density within its cover range, generated the ACB factor using the communication density, and broadcasted the ACB.According to signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) and ACB factor of the received broadcast signal, the vehicular communication terminal computed the access probability, and compared with ACB factor.When the access probability was more than the ACB factor, the terminal selected a preamble randomly from the preamble pool with the probability which equal to the access probability or one.The terminal transmited the selected preamble to the base station for finishing the access program.The simulation results show that the scheme proposed has 5%～20% advantage over S-Aloha and machine to machine opportunistic splitting algorithm (M2M-OSA) schemes in average access collision probability.It reduces the average access delay effectively.…”
