Congestion control mechanism based on data delivery probability in DTN data dissemination network by Yi XIA, Guang-hong DENG

“…A congestion control mechanism based on data delivery probability (CCM-DP) was proposed to work out the decline of data delivery performance on account of data congestion in delay tolerant networks (DTN) network coding-based data dissemination process.Considering the node mobility model,data delivery probability and data congestion degree,the data delivery probability model was constructed,and the congestion control mechanism was designed from two aspects,on the one hand,by the means of adjusting the packet forwarding process,it equilibriums the data packet delivery to avoid node congestion caused by too many packets received; and on the other hand,through the design of efficient discarding strategy,it reduces the impact of packet loss caused by data congestion.Ultimately,it was put into use in data dissemination process and some simulations were taken,the simulation results show that,CCM-DP can improve data delivery performance in data congestion environment.…”

Design of event-triggered state estimator with unknown input in wireless sensor networks by Cheng-han XIE, Sai-jie LU, Yun-ji LI, Li PENG

“…With the development of sensors and wireless network technology,a series of new applications based on the wireless sensor has been merged in the past decades.Too much energy consumption and over-abundant occupancy rates of bandwidth are great challenges in these new applications,thus,it is of great practical significance to study the energy saving of the data transmission among these nodes.An estimator with the corresponding event-triggered transmission scheme was investigated for a class of discrete-time stochastic systems subject to unknown input.Its features satisfied the characteristic of unbiased and minimum variance was designed and then the proposed event-triggered strategy,which decided the transfer time of the data packet,can be used to reduce the number of data transmission.Furthermore,an upper bound of system performance was derived for obtaining the parameters of event scheme in details.Finally,a numerical example was given to verify the potential and effectiveness of the proposed theoretical result.…”

Firmware protocol stack supporting remote boot and storage volumes mapping in IP-SAN by TAN Huai-liang, YIN Bin

“…A non-routing iSCSI/TCP protocol prototype was proposed and implemented based on firmware.At the same time, several optimization algorithms were introduced to enhance the performance and reliability of remote boot, including optimistic forecast, fixed avoiding retransmit algorithm and output request suspend strategy that solved the problem of reentry. A firmware iSCSI initiator finite state machine model was established which can be easily taken over by kernel mode initiator. …”

Spatiotemporal Correlation Representation based Precise Resource Management in Space-Air-Ground Integrated Network by Tianle MAI, Haipeng YAO, Xiangjun XIN, Jingkai YANG, Chenlang JIN

“…In the space-air-ground integrated network, resources are unevenly distributed and dynamically change over time.Traditional optimization scheduling methods based on static resource representation only optimize scheduling within a single time slot, leading to low resource utilization.Moreover, frequent strategy adjustments are required when the network changes, resulting in significant migration costs.To address this issue, this paper proposed a method for spatiotemporal correlation representation of resources in the space-air-ground integrated network.This method computed node attention representations in both structural neighborhoods and chronological neighborhoods, enabled precise modeling of spatiotemporal resource correlations in the space-air-ground integrated network.Based on this, this paper proposed a resource precise embedding method based on spatiotemporal correlation representation, and introduced the trust region policy optimization method to adaptively learn and optimize algorithm parameters.…”

Spatio-frequency domain opportunistic access in CR-MIMO system based on primary transmission mode information by Zhao LI, Jian-dong LI, Li-yuan XIAO

“…An opportunistic spatio-frequency access (OSFA) strategy for CR-MIMO system was designed.When spectrum holes exist,cognitive service was implemented applying overlay approach.While there was no idle spectrum available,primary transmission mode information (PTMI) and inter-system interference channel information were exploited.And cognitive service was implemented using underlay approach.The method utilizes both spatial correlation and eigenmode transmission gain in spatial resource quality aluation.Consequently,selection diversity of both authorized channel and cognitive eigenmode was achieved.Moreover,PTMI based signal processing reduced the antenna requirement for cognitive system as well as the power loss of cognitive signal.Simulation results indicate that the proposed method could achieve significant improvement of cognitive service and near-optimal cognitive throughput on the premise that no interference is imposed on the primary.…”
