Reliability and cost efficiency analysis for deep space habitat network based on Nash bargaining solution by Zi-jing CHENG, Jun-nan ZHAO, Yu-wen CUI, Le-yi SHI

“…Focusing on the deep space habitat network requirements of high reliability and expensive links,two impact factors to the network performance were regarded as a multi-objective optimization problem,which were network reliability and cost efficiency model,and the relations between the two factors were formalized.Thereafter,the Nash model of cooperative game was used to make a fairness compromise to the network reliability and cost efficiency,and the Nash bargaining solution set was acquired through the Matlab platform with CVX.Further,through changing the threat value dynamically and performing the repeated game,the Pareto optimal solution could be obtained which can ensure the fairness of reliability and cost efficiency simultaneously.Finally,the Nash bargaining method was applied to a typical deep space habitat network topology,and described in detail how to set up the link numbers and link capacity in order to reduce the cost when the network traffic and the link capacity were given.The proposed work is important for the deployment and optimization of the deep space habitat network.…”

Joint admission control algorithm based on load transfer in heterogeneous networks by Weiwei XIA, Zhaoming DING, Lianfeng SHEN

“…A load-transfer-based joint admission control (LJAC) algorithm in heterogeneous networks was proposed.The access requirements of users were admitted based on load balancing,the dynamic load transfer of traffics in the overlapping coverage areas of heterogeneous networks were introduced,and the influence of such factors as the layout of heterogeneous networks and the vertical handoff was considered in the algorithm.The integrated system of heterogeneous networks was modeled as a multidimensional Markov chain,the steady-state probabilities were obtained and the quality of service (QoS) performance metrics were derived.Based on the Poisson point process theory,the upper bound of capacity of the heterogeneous networks satisfying QoS limitations was obtained.The admission control parameters of the integrated system of heterogeneous networks were optimized in order to maximize the resource utilization rate as well as guaranteeing the QoS of users.The simulation results demonstrate lower traffic blocking probability,lower failure probability of vertical handoff requirements,and larger system capacity gain can be achieved by using the proposed LJAC algorithm.…”

Lubrication State Transformation and Characteristic Analysis of Sliding Bearing under Low Rotary Speed and High Eccentric by Hongbin Zhang, Hong Guo, Ruizhen Li, Hongtao Wang

“…The results show that as the eccentric ratio increase，the lubrication state of the bearing will transform to mixed lubrication from hydrodynamic lubrication at low rotary speed; the rough peak contact in mixed lubrication state can improve load-carrying capacity，but lead to rapidly increase of bearing friction force and oil temperature; the experimental results are consistent with the theoretical results of mixed lubrication under high eccentric ratio.…”

Magnetically separable silica-chitosan hybrids for efficient phosphate adsorption in aqueous solution by Nuryono Nuryono, Sukamto Sukamto, Eko Sri Kunarti, Philip Anggo Krisbiantoro, Wan Nazwanie Wan Abdullah, Yuichi Kamiya

“…While the magnetic properties of NMP from iron enable the material to be quickly separated via magnetic separation, the abundant active sites from the chitosan made the hybrid exhibit high adsorption capacity for phosphate ions. At pH 6, the removal of phosphate ions followed the pseudo-second-order (PSO) kinetic model with the adsorption rate constant (k2) of 5.9 × 10-3 mg g−1 min−1 and obeyed the Langmuir isotherm model with a maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) of 15.06 mg g−1, outperforming most of the previously reported adsorbents. …”
