Research on video streaming media cooperative downloading in vehicular ad hoc network by Liang CHEN, Jun WANG, Rong CHEN, Xiang GU, Jin WANG, Jie WAN

“…The same direction multi-hop downloading network flow model was proposed for vehicle communication range and channel competition under forwarding.According to the model and video streaming media characteristic,the same ＆amp; opposite direction cooperative downloading quality of service (SODCD-QoS) scheme was presented.First,the same direction vehicles helped the target vehicle to achieve multi-hop cooperative downloading.It can reduce the waste of time which the target vehicle has to wait for opposite direction cooperative vehicle.Secondly,the next base stations loaded data into eligible opposite direction vehicles according to vehicles option strategy based on time first or picture quality first.Then the opposite direction vehicles helped the target vehicle to achieve one-hop cooperative downloading.NS simulations show that the SODCD-QoS scheme is better than DSRelay and VCoDS algorithm in terms of download time.Further,the new scheme can maintain good picture quality PSNR.…”

Application of Grey Self-Memory Model Based on Smoothing Method Without Seasonal Fluctuations on Monthly Runoff Forecast by WAN Yang, YANG Haiyan, TANG Jingjing

“…Affected by the monsoon climate,there are abrupt changes,non-smoothing and variation in monthly runoff.However,good accuracy cannot be realized if the monthly runoff is simulated and predicted directly by the gray self-memory model.This paper proposes a new monthly runoff smoothing method (that is,smoothing method without seasonal fluctuations).First,the seasonal index is used to remove the “seasonal fluctuations” of monthly runoff,then,the three-point smoothing method is applied to smooth the monthly runoff without seasonal fluctuations,and finally the gray self-memory model is adopted to simulate and predict the smoothed data.After being applied to the Yanling Hydrological Station in Hunan Province,the results show that the average error of fitting and forecasting value of monthly runoff after seasonal fluctuation removing and smoothing is less than 20% compared with the measured value.At the same time,the short-term monthly runoff data is used to simulate and forecast monthly runoff by this method,which also meets the requirements of the specification.…”
