Network real-time scheduling algorithm based on multi-feature dynamic priority by Xun SU, Yanfang LI, Ning ZONG, Wei WEI, Juan LI, Ying DING

“…Real-time task scheduling system structure and task model were proposed aiming at the network real-time scheduling problem.The task degree of urgency was defined by considering the deadline of task,execution time and interval time between works.The task degree of tightness was proposed based on service-level assurance,according to functional importance of different tasks in the real-time task scheduling system.The thrashing limit for avoiding task switching frequently was acquired through dynamic regulation to task priorities by degree of urgency and degree of tightness,which guaranteed the success rate of tasks execution and utilization ratio of client execution.Test simulation results suggest that the multi-feature dynamic priority scheduling strategy improves the success rate of task scheduling and shorten the average response time,which suggests it has obvious superiority compared with BE and EDF scheduling algorithm.…”

Fast QTMT partition decision based on deep learning by Shuang PENG, Xiaodong WANG, Zongju PENG, Fen CHEN

“…Compared with the predecessor standards, versatile video coding (VVC) significantly improves compression efficiency by a quadtree with nested multi-type tree (QTMT) structure but at the expense of extremely high coding complexity.To reduce the coding complexity of VVC, a fast QTMT partition method was proposed based on deep learning.Firstly, an attention-asymmetric convolutional neural network was proposed to predict the probability of partition modes.Then, the fast decision of partition modes based on the threshold was proposed.Finally, the cost of coding performance and time was proposed to obtain the optimal threshold, and the threshold decision method was proposed.Experimental results at different levels show that the proposed method achieves an average time saving of 48.62%/52.93%/62.01% with the negligible BDBR of 1.05%/1.33%/2.38%.Such results demonstrate that the proposed method significantly outperforms other state-of-the-art methods.…”

Simulation of transmission characteristics of oceanic wireless optical communication systems based on orbital angular momentum multiplexing with space-time coding by Xiaoli YIN, Tong ZHENG, Zhiwen SUN, Zhaoyuan ZHANG

“…In order to mitigate the crosstalk caused by oceanic turbulence in the underwater wireless orbital angular momentum multiplexing optical communication system, the application of space-time coding technology in the system was studied.Based on Rytov approximation, the covariance method and interpolation method were used to simulate correlated random phase screens and then the influence of time-varying oceanic turbulence channel on orbital angular momentum signal was studied.The transmission characteristics of orbital angular momentum multiplexing optical communication system with space-time coding was analyzed by simulation.The phase structure function of the time-varying phase screens and the detection probability distribution of the beam carrying the orbital angular momentum through the time-varying simulation channel were in line with theoretical expectations.The simulation results show that the space-time coding technology can effectively mitigate the influence of ocean turbulence on the system bit error rate.…”
