Optimal and self‐tuning weighted measurement fusion Kalman filters and their asymptotic global optimality

For the multisensor linear discrete time‐invariant stochastic systems with unknown noise variances, using the correlation method, the information fusion noise variance estimators with consistency are given by taking the average of the local noise variance estimators. Substituting them into two optimal weighted measurement fusion steady‐state Kalman filters, two new self‐tuning weighted measurement fusion Kalman filters with a self‐tuning Riccati equation are presented. By the dynamic variance error system analysis (DVESA) method, it is rigorously proved that the self‐tuning Riccati equation converges to the steady‐state optimal Riccati equation. Further, by the dynamic error system analysis (DESA) method, it is proved that the steady‐state optimal and self‐tuning Kalman fusers converge to the global optimal centralized Kalman fuser, so that they have the asymptotic global optimality. Compared with the centralized Kalman fuser, they can significantly reduce the computational burden. A simulation example for the target tracking systems shows their effectiveness.

On delay constrained CAC scheme and scheduling policy for CBR traffic in IEEE 802.11e wireless LANs

CBR (constant bit rate) traffic is expected to be an important traffic source in wireless networks. Such sources usually have stringent jitter or delay requirements and in many cases they should be delivered exactly as they were generated. In this paper, we propose a strictly guaranteed QoS (quality‐of‐service) provisioning CAC (call admission control) scheme with a polling‐based scheduling policy for CBR traffic in IEEE 802.11e wireless LANs. Under such a scheme, the proposed transmit‐permission policy for HCCA (HCF controlled channel access) method can forecast the maximum suffered delay for each packet and derive sufficient conditions so that all the CBR sources satisfy their time constraints to provide deterministic QoS guarantees. A simple analytical model is carried out to estimate the average queueing delay of the proposed scheme. In addition to theoretical analysis, simulations are conducted to validate its promising performance. Our simulation results show that the proposed scheme maintains a high throughput with respect to the whole range of system load. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A Topology Control Approach Reducing Construction Cost for Lossy Wireless Sensor Networks

In lossy wireless sensor networks, many links suffer from significant quality variation with time and environments. Topology control approaches need to consider such stochastic nature to yield different topologies for different application requirements. However, the metric of links must be timely obtained to speed up the topology construction. In fact, the existing approaches address it by passive monitoring, which is not timely adaptive to link quality variation. Also, timely access to the metric of all links at all power levels causes a large burden on topology control operation. We do not insist on getting the link metrics of all power levels at a time. Most urgently needed link metrics are firstly obtained by an active probing mode in this paper. If these link metrics do not meet the topology performance requirements, sub-urgently needed link metrics will be obtained on demand. At the same time, each node performs a topology control process based on the information in a smaller range (e.g., 1-hop neighborhood). Therefore, our approach has the low construct cast, which is proved in this paper. The simulation results also show that our approach outperforms the existing typical works in terms of average transmission power level, though it is slightly less efficient in terms of average delivery rate, average end-to-end delay and total energy consumption. In addition, our approach has advantage in terms of standard deviation of remaining energy under the relatively smaller required path quality bound or lower node density.     

Cell Membrane Camouflaged Hollow Prussian Blue Nanoparticles for Synergistic Photothermal‐/Chemotherapy of Cancer

Nanodrug‐based cancer therapy has been actively developed in the past decades. The main challenges faced by nanodrugs include poor drug loading capacity, rapid clearance from blood circulation, and low antitumor efficiency with high risk of recurrence. In this work, red blood cell (RBC) membrane camouflaged hollow mesoporous Prussian blue nanoparticles (HMPB@RBC NPs) are fabricated for combination therapy of cancer. The stability, immune evading capacity, and blood retention time of HMPB@RBC NPs are significantly enhanced compared with those of bare HMPB NPs. Doxorubicin (DOX), as a model drug is encapsulated within HMPB@RBC NPs with loading capacity up to 130% in weight. In addition, DOX loaded HMPB@RBC NPs show pH‐/photoresponsive release. The in vivo studies demonstrate the outstanding performance of DOX@HMPB@RBC NPs in synergistic photothermal‐/chemotherapy of cancer.
