CLTC: a cluster-based topology control for ad hoc networks

The topology of an ad hoc network has a significant impact on its performance in that a dense topology may induce high interference and low capacity, while a sparse topology is vulnerable to link failure and network partitioning. Topology control aims to maintain a topology that optimizes network performance while minimizing energy consumption. Existing topology control algorithms utilize either a purely centralized or a purely distributed approach. A centralized approach, although able to achieve strong connectivity (k-connectivity for k /spl ges/ 2), suffers from scalability problems. In contrast, a distributed approach, although scalable, lacks strong connectivity guarantees. We propose a hybrid topology control framework, cluster-based topology control (CLTC) that achieves both scalability and strong connectivity. By varying the algorithms utilized in each of the three phases of the framework, a variety of optimization objectives and topological properties can be achieved. In this paper, we present the CLTC framework; describe topology control algorithms based on CLTC and prove that k-connectivity is achieved using those algorithms; analyze the message complexity of an implementation of CLTC, namely, CLTC-A, and present simulation studies that evaluate the effectiveness of CLTC-A for a range of networks.     

Linearity and power characteristics of SiGe HBTs at high temperatures for RF applications

In this paper, the power gain, power-added efficiency (PAE) and linearity of power SiGe heterojunction-bipolar transistors at various temperatures have been presented. The power characteristics were measured using a two-tone load-pull system. For transistors biased with fixed base voltage, the small-signal power gain and PAE of the devices increase with increasing temperature at low base voltages, while they decrease at high base voltages. Besides, the linearity is improved at high temperature for all voltage biases. However, for devices with fixed collector current, the small-signal power gain, PAE, and linearity are nearly unchanged with temperature. The temperature dependence of power and linearity characteristics can be understood by analyzing the cutoff frequency, the collector current, Kirk effect and nonlinearities of transconductance at different temperatures.     

LMS adaptive filters using distributed arithmetic for high throughput

We present a new hardware adaptive filter architecture for very high throughput LMS adaptive filters using distributed arithmetic (DA). DA uses bit-serial operations and look-up tables (LUTs) to implement high throughput filters that use only about one cycle per bit of resolution regardless of filter length. However, building adaptive DA filters requires recalculating the LUTs for each adaptation which can negate any performance advantages of DA filtering. By using an auxiliary LUT with special addressing, the efficiency and throughput of DA adaptive filters can be of the same order as fixed DA filters. In this paper, we discuss a new hardware adaptive filter structure for very high throughput LMS adaptive filters. We describe the development of DA adaptive filters and show that practical implementations of DA adaptive filters have very high throughput relative to multiply and accumulate architectures. We also show that DA adaptive filters have a potential area and power consumption advantage over digital signal processing microprocessor architectures.     

Directly assembled quantum dots on one dimension ordered TiO2 nanostructure in aqueous solution for improving photocatalytic activity

One dimension (1D) ordered titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanostructured photocatalysts sensitized by quantum dots (QDs) are fabricated. Their morphologies, crystal structures and photocatalytic properties are characterized by scanning elec-tron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and ultraviolet-visible-near infrared (UV-vis-NIR) absorption spectroscopy, respectively. Compared with the original TiO2 nanostructure, the nanostructured TiO2 sensitized by QDs exhibits a good photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methyl orange (MO). The QDs with core-shell structure can reduce the photocatalytic ability due to the higher potential barrier of carrier transport in ZnS shell layer. The results indicate that the proposed photocatalyst shows promising potential for the application in organic dye degradation.

Reversible data hiding based on hybrid prediction and interleaving histogram modification with single seed pixel recovery

This paper proposes a reversible data hiding scheme for natural images. A hybrid prediction mechanism is utilized in order to produce prediction errors as many as possible. The cover image excluding a seed pixel is partitioned into four non-overlapping segments, and four predictors are tailored for each of them. As a result, most prediction errors concentrate around zero in prediction error histogram. Besides, an interleaving histogram modification mechanism is presented such that the capacity is enhanced and easier to be finely tuned in contrast to some previous approaches. Third, a single seed pixel recovery strategy is introduced. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

光电耦合器电流传输比的噪声表征

光电耦合器中可俘获载流子的陷阱密度是影响其电流传输比(CTR)的重要因素,并与器件可靠性有密切关系.在器件内部的多种噪声中,1/f噪声可有效地表征器件陷阱密度.本文在研究光电耦合器工作原理以及1/f噪声理论的基础上,建立了光电耦合器的CTR表征模型和1/f噪声模型.在输入电流宽范围变化的条件下,测量了器件的电学噪声和CTR变化,实验结果验证了以上模型的正确性.将CTR模型与噪声模型相结合,得到了CTR与1/f噪声之间的关系.此关系应用于对光电耦合器辐照实验结果的分析,实验结果与理论得到的结论一致.理论与实验结果表明,噪声幅值越大,电流指数越接近于2,则器件的可靠性越差,相同工作条件下CTR的老化衰减量越大,其失效率显著增大.从而证明噪声可表征光电耦合器的CTR并能准确地反映器件的可靠性.
