Efficient Resource Management for Cloud-enabled Video Surveillance over Next Generation Network

The next generation video surveillance systems are expected to face challenges in providing computation support for an unprecedented amount of video streams from multiple video cameras in a timely and scalable fashion. Cloud computing offers huge computation resources for large-scale storage and processing on demand, which are deemed suitable for video surveillance tasks. Cloud also provides quality of service guaranteed hardware and software solutions with the virtual machine (VM) technology using a utility-like service costing model. In cloud-based video surveillance context, the resource requests to handle video surveillance tasks are translated in the form of VM resource requests, which in turn are mapped to VM resource allocation referring to physical server resources hosting the VMs. Due to the nature of video surveillance tasks, these requests are highly time-constrained, heterogeneous and dynamic in nature. Hence, it is very challenging to actually manage the cloud resources from the perspective of VM resource allocation given the stringent requirements of video surveillance tasks. This paper proposes a computation model to efficiently manage cloud resources for surveillance tasks allocation. The proposed model works on optimizing the trade-off between average service waiting time and long-term service cost, and shows that long-term service cost is inversely proportional to high and balanced utilization of cloud resources. Experiments show that our approach provides a near-optimal solution for cloud resource management when handling the heterogeneous and unpredictable video surveillance tasks dynamically over next generation network.     

Synthesis of Imidazole‐Based AIEgens with Wide Color Tunability and Exploration of their Biological Applications

Research on aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) has become increasingly popular recently and various AIE luminogens (AIEgens) have been developed based on tetraphenylethene, hexaphenylsilole, distyrylanthracene, tetraphenylpyrazine, etc. However, facile tuning of the AIEgen emissions in a wide range remains challenging. Herein, a novel series of AIEgens is reported, based on imidazole‐cored molecular rotors, with facile synthesis and emission colors covering the whole visible spectrum. Moreover, these imidazole derivatives exhibit biological functions unique among the AIEgens, including mitochondria‐specific imaging and antifungal activity. Benefiting from the easy preparation and the tunable emission, the imidazole derivatives are expected to not only diversify the family of AIEgens but also enrich their biological applications.

Nanoplasmonic-gold-cylinder-array-enhanced terahertz source

Photoconductive antennas (PCAs) based on nanoplasmonic gratings contact electrodes have been proposed to satisfy the demand for high power, efficiency and responsivity terahertz (THz) sources. Reducing the average photo-generated carrier transport path to the photoconductor contact electrodes was previously considered the dominant mechanism to improve PCAs'' power. However, considering the bias in a real device, the electric field between gratings is limited and the role of surface plasmonic resonance (SPR) field enhancement is more important in improving THz radiation. This paper, based on SPR, analyzes the interaction between incident light and substrate in nano cylinder array PCAs and clearly shows that the SPR can enhance the light absorption in the substrate. After the optimization of the structure size, the proposed structure can offer 87% optical transmission into GaAs substrate. Compared with conventional PCAs, the optical transmission into the substrate will increase 5.8 times and the enhancement factor of substrate absorption will reach 13.7 respectively.     

Training sequence design and channel estimation of OFDM-CDMA broadband wireless access networks with diversity techniques

In this paper, an OFDM-CDMA system employing various diversity schemes is considered for a possible candidate of broadband wireless access networks and broadcasting applications. With an emphasis on a preamble design for multi-channel separation, we address a channel estimation based on the time-domain windowing and its imperfectness in OFDM-based multiple-antenna transmission systems. By properly designing each preamble for multiple antennas to be orthogonal in the time domain, the channel estimation can be applied to the HIPERLAN/2 and IEEE 802.11a standards in the case of more than two transmit antennas. Also, the effect of diversity techniques on the performance of OFDM-CDMA based broadband wireless access networks is investigated and the maximum achievable diversity gain for a two-path Rayleigh fading environment is evaluated. Simulation results show that the OFDM-CDMA system applying a space-time-frequency diversity with a full-rate full diversity code can give the diversity of D=4 and D=8 for both multi-user cases of maximum user and half user capacities, respectively.
