System Capacity and Access Control for Multimedia TDMA/SS Networks

In this paper, we study the system capacity and access control for the TDMA/SS (time division multiple access with spread spectrum) cellular networks supporting multimedia services. In the TDMA/SS system, time is divided into frames and each frame is further divided into slots. Only one user is allowed to transmit in a slot and spread spectrum technique is adopted to combat inter-cell interference. A packet can occupy more than one slot, depending on the user's data rate and quality of service requirement. We derive a necessary and sufficient condition for a group of users to be admissible for the TDMA/SS system and prove that its admission region contains that of the TDMA/CDMA system. In the TDMA/CDMA system, time is also divided into frames and each frame consists of several slots. The difference is that every packet occupies exactly one slot and multiple users can transmit their packets in the same slot. Numerical results show that the admission region of the TDMA/SS system can be significantly larger than that of the TDMA/CDMA system. To further increase bandwidth utilization and guarnatee delay bound requirements, several access control schemes are proposed. Simulation results are obtained for these access control schemes.     

Gel Polymer Electrolyte toward Large-Scale Application of Aqueous Zinc Batteries

Aqueous zinc batteries are promising candidates for energy storage and conversion devices in the “post-lithium” era due to their high energy density, high safety, and low cost. The electrolyte plays an important role in zinc batteries by conducting and separating the positive and negative electrodes. However, the issues of zinc dendrites growth, corrosion, by-product formation, hydrogen evolution and leakage, and evaporation of the aqueous electrolytes affect the commercialization of the batteries. Moreover, the widely used aqueous electrolytes result in large battery sizes, which are not conducive to the emerging smart devices. The intrinsic properties of gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) can solve the above problems. In order to promote the wider application of GPEs-based zinc batteries, in this review, the working principle and the current problems of zinc batteries are first introduced, andthe merits of GPEs compared to aqueous electrolytes are then summarized. Subsequently, a series of challenges and corresponding strategies faced by GPE is discussed, and an outlook for its future development is finally proposed.

毫米波波束管理的设计与研究

毫米波是第五代移动通信系统的重要通信技术,因其频谱特性可以利用大带宽承载大量信息,有效提升系统的吞吐量。高频段毫米波传输具有高损耗性,且受环境影响较大,为了支持非视距和移动性,必须支持准确且实时的波束跟踪以确保信号传输质量。波束管理的目的是使得基站与终端之间发送与接收波束对准以提高链路的性能。文中根据3GPP协议规范设计了波束管理方案,包括以下几方面的内容:波束扫描、波束测量、波束上报、波束指示、波束失败恢复。     

A green radio resource allocation scheme for LTE-A downlink systems with CoMP transmission

In this paper, we propose a green radio resource allocation (GRRA) scheme for LTE-advanced downlink systems with coordinated multi-point (CoMP) transmission to support multimedia traffic. The GRRA scheme defines a green radio utility function, which is composed of the required transmission power, assigned modulation order, and the number of coordinated transmission nodes. By maximizing this utility function, the GRRA scheme can effectively save transmission power, enhance spectrum efficiency, and guarantee quality-of-service requirements. The simulation results show that when the traffic load intensity is greater than 0.7, the GRRA scheme can save transmission power by more than 33.9 and 40.1 %, as compared with the conventional adaptive radio resource allocation (ARRA) scheme (Tsai et al. in IEEE Trans Wireless Commun 7(5):1734–1743, 2008) with CoMP and the utility-based radio resource allocation (URRA) scheme (Katoozian et al. in IEEE Trans Wireless Commun 8(1):66–71, 2009) with CoMP, respectively. Besides, it enhances the system throughput by approximately 5.5 % and improves Jain’s fairness index for best effort users by more than 155 % over these two ARRA and URRA schemes.     

Inverted polymer solar cells with a solution-processed cesium halide interlayer

We demonstrate the utility of a low-cost cesium iodide interlayer spun from an aqueous or 2-ethoxyethanol solution on ITO in inverted polymer solar cells of the structure ITO/CsI/P3HT:PCBM/MoO₃/Al, where P3HT is poly(3-hexylthiophene) and PCBM is [6,6]-phenyl-C₆₀-butyric acid methyl ester. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of optimized cells was ～3.4%, comparable to that we obtained for inverted cells with Cs carbonate. The thickness of the CsI film was adjusted by varying the solution concentration. The concentration affected the surface morphology of P3HT:PCBM and the density of fractal-like aggregates (possibly related to the presence of Cs and film fabrication conditions) formed near the anode, as revealed by scanning electron microscopy. Auger analysis indicated a P3HT-rich surface. Optimization of the cells was achieved also by varying the thickness of the MoO₃ and the drying/annealing conditions of the active layer, as was evident from the current–voltage characteristics, external quantum efficiency spectra, and PCE. The cells with the CsI interlayer were compared additionally to cells with CsCl or CsF interlayers (with a PCE of up to ～2.7%), which were inferior to the comparable cells with Cs₂CO₃ or CsI. The surface concentrations of Cs and the halide on ITO were monitored using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The iodine level was low with the Cs:I ratio exceeding 8:1. In contrast, the Cs:Cl ratio was ～1.4:1 and the Cs:F ratio was ～1:1; the Cs₂CO₃ decomposed partially, as expected. Therefore, for CsI, as is the case for Cs₂CO₃ but not for CsF, Cs–O bonds are formed at the surface. Such bonds on ITO are important in modifying the ITO work function, improving the cell performance. The results indicate that spin coating solutions of the high polarity CsI is a promising and easy approach to introduce Cs–O on ITO in inverted structures for increased electron extraction from PCBM and possibly hole extraction from the P3HT-rich surface at the anode.     

Optimization for faster-than-Nyquist signaling based combining under multi-path channel

We propose a faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) signaling based combining scheme to increase the achievable rate for the single-input-single-output (SISO) system and the single-carrier system under the multi-path channel, where the combining scheme aims to combine the signals received at all symbol periods during the channel length for each transmitted symbol. An important feature of the FTN signaling based combining scheme is that the transmitter ceases the transmission for b symbol periods after transmitting each symbol. By proposing the optimization algorithm for finding the optimum b that maximizes the achievable (information) rate, we propose in this paper the optimal FTN signaling based combining scheme. We first establish the optimization problem and then present a theorem for proving the existence of the optimum b that maximizes the lower bound of the average achievable (information) rate. On the basis of this theorem, we present the steps of the proposed optimization algorithm. Numerical results are provided, and they confirm that the proposed optimization algorithm can find the optimum b.
