Research and application on key techniques of marine IoT by Fengzhong QU, Hangliang LAI, Jianzhang LIU, Xingbin TU, Yuan JIANG

“…Ocean observation networks with isolated and fragmented sensor data are not able to meet the demands of current ocean monitoring.Marine internet of things (IoT), which has the advantage of low investment cost, low power consumption, and interconnection is the primary research direction in the area of ocean information.An overview of the development and status of ocean observation networks was presented.A new type of marine IoT system architecture was proposed based on the Zhejiang University - Zhairuoshan Experimental Research Observatory (Z₂ERO).It features key marine IoT devices and test platforms, including scientific instrument interface module, hydroacoustic communicators, narrow-band IoT floating balls, seafloor test platforms, and portable acoustic retrievers.Future marine IoT is expected to develop toward miniaturization, intelligence, and diversity of communication methods.With the support of the terrestrial internet, the internet of everything will be achieved through an integrated space-air-ground-sea network.…”

Performance optimization method of GFDM system based on WFRFT spectral precoding by Zhenduo WANG, Zhaohui WANG, Ruoyu ZHANG

“…Generalized frequency division multiplexing (GFDM) system always faces challenges related to out-of-band (OOB) power leakage and a high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR).Through an in-depth analysis of power spectrum characteristics of spectrally precoded GFDM systems, a universal spectral precoding (SP) framework based on the weighted fractional Fourier transform (WFRFT) was established.A two-dimensional parameter-adjustable WFRFT-SP-GFDM system was introduced.By flexibly configuring the parameters, the WFRFT spectral precoder could be made to approximate the weighted fractional Fourier transform matrix, achieve precise control over OOB power and PAPR.Simulation results indicate that, when compared to conventional GFDM and WFRFT-GFDM waveforms, the WFRFT-SP-GFDM waveform effectively suppresses OOB power leakage, while maintaining favorable PAPR and bit error rate (BER) performance.…”

Cooperative game based bandwidth allocation mechanism live migration of multiple virtual machines by Yong CUI, Yu-song LIN, Run-zhi LI, Zong-min WANG

“…Under many scenarios, multiple virtual machines in the same server need to be moved online concurrently.Since live migration algorithm utilizes bandwidth as more as possible to send data, there is a bandwidth competition among the concurrent migration processes, which cannot guarantee the optimal allocation for the bandwidth and finally degrades the overall performance of the parallel live migration. …”

AMC based IP microwave technology by Weihe DONG, Xiaokun LI, Hongxu CHEN, Siyan ZHANG, Yiran SUN, Chuanyue YU

“…IP microwave technology is a new transmission technology,which uses IP technology to transmit data signals in the microwave field.It has the advantages of fast deployment rate,flexible installation,convenient transport and efficient data transmission,and has become a common ground wireless transmission system with large capacity.An environmental model of microwave transmission was proposed and discussed.The model used IP network as the return transmission,which was helpful for the development of general network of wireless access system.The prototype design of UHF band microwave/Internet protocol (IP) network interface was carried out,and the conversion of the three major functional modules in the network were described,to realize the broadband integrated services digital transmissions.The results show that the ground transmission signal (DTMB) can efficiently transmit on the IP network,and the monitoring/truncation of the microwave signal can significantly reduce the network throughput as needed.…”

Contention graph based concurrent scheduling algorithm in millimeter wave WPAN by Yibing WANG, Yong NIU, Weiguang DING, Hao WU

“…The directional antennas and beamforming techniques in millimeter wave (mmWave) bands are used to make concurrent transmission between multiple flows become possible.However,higher mutual interference may be caused by concurrent transmission.Therefore,when the time slots were limited and the number of data flows was large,how to schedule the concurrent flows efficiently was solved by proposed algorithm.The contention graph based spatial-time division multiple access (CB-STDMA) concurrent scheduling algorithm guaranteed the quality of service (QoS) of users,and aimed at maximizing the number of flows with their QoS requirements satisfied.It considered the interference between different flows,and a higher priority was given to the flow with fewer time slots requirement.Extensive simulations demonstrated that the proposed CB-STDMA algorithm increased the number of flows with their QoS requirements satisfied and the network throughput by 50% and 20% respectively compared with the existing algorithms.…”
