Analysis of propagation and coverage performance of indoor single-carrier radio signals in the terahertz bands by Mugen PENG, Chuang YANG, Tianhang ZHOU

“…To tackle the problem that radio signal in the terahertz band had different features compared to that in the conventional spectrum, which restricted its application to indoor communication scenarios, a modified propagation model of terahertz radio signal was proposed.Based on the model, the propagation and coverage performances of wide-band single-carrier terahertz radio signal were analyzed.In particular, the wide-band terahertz channel transfer function was constructed, taking the absorption loss introduced by the thickness of the obstacles into account.Using the ray tracing technique, the impacts of the obstacles’ thickness and the bandwidth on the propagation and coverage performances were examined, showing that the coverage performance can be improved by leveraging the reflections from the non-line-of-sight obstacles.Moreover, the trade-off between the coverage radius and the capacity of terahertz communications is revealed, and it is further found that the theoretical spectral efficiency decreases as the carrier frequency of terahertz radio signal increases.…”

Optimized coverage algorithm of wireless video sensor network based on quantum genetic algorithm by Fu-you FAN, Guo-wu YANG, Qian-qi LE, Feng-mao LV, Chao ZHAO

“…According to the construction needs of the smart city wireless video sensor network,an optimized network coverage algorithm based on quantum genetic algorithm is proposed.The algorithm fits in with complicated monitoring scene which has some different obstacles and different degree of importance.The monitoring region is depicted by two-dimensional discrete grid model,and the discrete grid model is represented by a code description matrix.The directional wireless video sensor is described by a seven-tuples.The mathematical programming model of the coverage problem is obtained by strict mathematical derivation.The optimized coverage algorithm is comprised by IntialDeployment and OptimizedDeployment algorithms,which takes the maximum coverage rate network deployment scheme as the solving goal.The quantum genetic algorithm with reasonable chromosome coding and optimized quantum rotation gate parameter is used to search the solution space,which has a good convergence rate and a fast computation speed.Two limit values of ideal coverage rate and ideal weighted coverage rate are introduced to evaluate the algorithm by the way of relative comparison.The result of simulation experiments and data analyses show that the solutions worked out by the algorithm can well approximate the ideal limit value.When the number of sensor nodes is given,the algorithm can obtain the maximum effective coverage rate.…”
