Cross-Layer Optimization for State Update in Mobile Gaming

In a large-scale mobile gaming environment with limited wireless network bandwidth, efficient mechanisms for state update are crucial to allow graceful real-time interaction for a large number of players. By using the state updating threshold as a key parameter that bridges the resulting state distortion and the network traffic, we are able to study the fundamental traffic-distortion tradeoffs via both theoretical modeling and numerical analysis using real game traces. We consider a WiMAX link model, where the bandwidth allocation is driven by the underlying physical layer link quality as well as application layer gaming behaviors. Such a cross-layer optimization problem can be solved using standard convex programming techniques. By exploring the temporal locality of gaming behavior, we also propose a prediction method for on-line bandwidth adaptation. Using real data traces from a multiplayer driving game, TORCS, the proposed network-aware bandwidth allocation method (NABA) is able to achieve significant reduction in state distortion compared to two baselines: uniform and proportional policies.     

Robust tracking control design for uncertain robotic systems with persistent bounded disturbances

In this study, a robust nonlinear L_∞‐gain tracking control design for uncertain robotic systems is proposed under persistent bounded disturbances. The design objective is that the peak of the tracking error in time domain must be as small as possible under persistent bounded disturbances. Since the nonlinear L_∞ ‐gain optimal tracking control cannot be solved directly, the nonlinear L_∞ ‐gain optimal tracking problem is transformed into a nonlinear L_∞ ‐gain tracking problem by given a prescribed disturbance attenuation level for the L_∞ ‐gain tracking performance. To guarantee that the L_∞ ‐gain tracking performance can be achieved for the uncertain robotic systems, a sliding‐mode scheme is introduced to eliminate the effect of the parameter uncertainties. By virtue of the skew‐symmetric property of the robotic systems, sufficient conditions are developed for solving the robust L_∞ ‐gain tracking control problems in terms of an algebraic equation instead of a differential equation. The proposed method is simple and the algebraic equation can be solved analytically. Therefore, the proposed robust L_∞ ‐gain tracking control scheme is suitable for practical control design of uncertain robotic systems.

Dynamics of Flexible Multibody Systems Using Virtual Work and Linear Graph Theory

By combining linear graph theory with the principle of virtualwork, a dynamic formulation is obtained that extends graph-theoreticmodelling methods to the analysis of flexible multibody systems. Thesystem is represented by a linear graph, in which nodes representreference frames on rigid and flexible bodies, and edges representcomponents that connect these frames. By selecting a spanning tree forthe graph, the analyst can choose the set of coordinates appearing inthe final system of equations. This set can include absolute, joint, orelastic coordinates, or some combination thereof. If desired, allnon-working constraint forces and torques can be automaticallyeliminated from the dynamic equations by exploiting the properties ofvirtual work. The formulation has been implemented in a computerprogram, DynaFlex, that generates the equations of motion in symbolicform. Three examples are presented to demonstrate the application of theformulation, and to validate the symbolic computer implementation.

Investigation of the size effect on optical properties of polycrystalline Ge deposition by pulse laser deposition

The size effect of optical properties of the polycrystalline Ge/Si films prepared by pulse laser deposition (PLD) is investigated by photoluminescence (PL) and photocurrent (PC) spectra. The size of Ge nanocrystals is precisely controlled by the pulsed deposition time and then observed by the atomic force microscopy (AFM). The average size of Ge nanocrystals is about 2, 5 and 25 nm for 1, 2 and 3 min deposited sample, respectively. The size effect on optical properties of Ge nanocrystals has been analyzed by photoluminescence (PL) and photocurrent (PC) spectra. The PL peaks shift from 0.799 eV for 1 min to 0.762 eV for 3 mins; at the same time, the photocurrent peaks of the films sharply changes from 0.781 eV to 0.749 eV, the shifts of PL and PC are contributed to the quantum size effect of Ge nanocrystals.     

A TDOA location algorithm based on data fusion

A new positioning method in mobile networks is presented. Based on the data fusion technology, it processes multi-layer information fusion for the location estimates achieved by the Chan algorithm, which increases mobile positioning accuracy effectively by only using measured difference of arriving (TDOA) signals. The method is simple and practical, especially when the location estimates are corrupted by the non-line-of-sight (NLOS) error. It not only has high positioning accuracy, but also reduces the location failure probability. Results from computer simulation show that the proposed method is effective in various environments. __________ Translated from Journal of Dalian University of Technology, 2005, 45(1): 138–141 (in Chinese)
