Schedule-aware power management for energy-efficiency improvement in IEEE 802.11u WLAN by Di ZHANG

“…A mobile terminal supporting the IEEE 802.11u standard can automatically access a wireless local area network within the coverage of a network service provided by a wireless local area network.Aiming at the characteristics of IEEE 802.11u WLAN,a time series sensing based PSM (S-PSM) scheme was proposed.The transmission sequence information was broadcasted using a generic advertisement service (GAS) defined in the IEEE 802.11u standard,and all terminals controlled their own operating states according to the sequence information.In order to reduce the collision probability of the contention channel,a response contention window was introduced.When there was no data packet in the access point (AP),the AP broadcasted the GAS frame and activated the idle timer.All terminals went to sleep until the idle timer expires.The simulation results show that compared with the proposed traditional PSM,the scheme can significantly reduce power consumption and improve terminal energy-efficiency.…”

Multiple blood feeding bouts in mosquitoes allow for prolonged survival and are predicted to increase viral transmission during dry periods by Christopher J. Holmes, Souvik Chakraborty, Oluwaseun M. Ajayi, Melissa R. Uhran, Ronja Frigard, Crystal L. Stacey, Emily E. Susanto, Shyh-Chi Chen, Jason L. Rasgon, Matthew DeGennaro, Yanyu Xiao, Joshua B. Benoit

“…Exposure to desiccating conditions following a bloodmeal resulted in increased activity, decreased sleep levels, and prompted a return of CO2 sensing before egg deposition. Increased blood feeding and higher survival during dry periods are predicted to increase pathogen transmission, allowing for a rapid rebound in mosquito populations when favorable conditions return. …”
