Life cycle constrained backoff algorithm for ad hoc network by Ye-qun WANG, Guo-ce HUANG, Heng-yang ZHANG, Bo ZHENG, Yuan JING

“…Based on researching binary exponential backoff algorithm which defined in IEEE 802.11 standard,a life cycle constrained adaptive backoff algorithm(LCAB) was proposed.LCAB used life cycle instead of maximum retransmission times as the reference of packet dropping,and controlled process of backoff adaptively according to degree of network congestion.It fitted for real-time traffic such as VoIP which used widely in ad hoc network.A Markov model was introduced to analyze the performance of LCAB,and the normalized effective throughput of LCAB was obtained.The results show that the theoretic analysis is in accordance with the simulation,and the throughput of LCAB is better than that of BEB.…”

Robust beamforming for multicell downlink TDD massive MIMO system based on QoS by Jie CAO, Yong LIAO, Xuan-fan SHEN

“…In view of multicell downlink time division multiplexing (TDD) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems which had imperfect channel state information (CSI),the beamforming problem that minimized the total transmit power and signal leakage power based on quality of service (QoS) was studied.First,the objective problem was approximated as a standard convex optimization problem.Then,by using the duality of uplink and downlink,an inner and outer layer iterative algorithm was proposed.Numerical results show that,comparing with other typical downlink multicell massive MIMO beamforming algorithms,the proposed algorithm has obvious advantages in terms of complexity and energy efficiency.…”

Bilan de pratiques évaluatives des apprentissages à distance en contexte de formation universitaire by Isabelle Nizet, Julie Lyne Leroux, Colette Deaudelin, Sébastien Béland, Jean Goulet

“…The development of distance learning in higher education raises the question of the nature and validity of evaluation practices of teachers in a context where the nature of the collected data, the scope and credibility of their interpretation and the procedures to communicate results to the students remain subject to requirements framed by collective standards. To enlighten the institutional choices about distance learning evaluation in the faculties of the Université de Sherbrooke, a survey of evaluation practices was conducted through focus groups of 25 participants from its nine faculties, and who agreed to participate in the research. …”
