DMAP: integrated mobility and service management in mobile IPv6 systems

Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) is a work in progress IETF standard for enabling mobility in IPv6 networks and is expected to have wide deployment. We investigate an integrated mobility and service management scheme based on MIPv6 with the goal to minimize the overall network signaling cost in MIPv6 systems for serving mobility and service management related operations. Our design extends IETF work-in-progress Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6) with the notion of dynamic mobility anchor points (DMAPs) for each mobile node (MN) instead of static ones for all MNs. These DMAPs are access routers chosen by individual MNs to act as a regional router to reduce the signaling overhead for intra-regional movements. The DMAP domain size, i.e., the number of subnets covered by a DMAP, is based on the MN’s mobility and service characteristics. Under our DMAP protocol, a MN interacts with its home agent and application servers as in the MIPv6 protocol, but optimally determines when and where to launch a DMAP to minimize the network cost in serving the user’s mobility and service management operations. We demonstrate that our DMAP protocol for integrated mobility and service management yields significantly improved performance over basic MIPv6 and HMIPv6.     

Ultra-Thin Si<Subscript>1−<Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis></Subscript>Ge<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis></Subscript> Dislocation Blocking Layers for Ge/Strained Si CMOS Devices

We demonstrate ultra-thin (<150 nm) Si_1−x Ge _x dislocation blocking layers on Si substrates used for the fabrication of tensile-strained Si N channel metal oxide semiconductor (NMOS) and Ge P channel metal oxide semiconductor (PMOS) devices. These layers were grown using ultra high vacuum chemical vapor deposition (UHVCVD). The Ge mole fraction was varied in rapid, but distinct steps during the epitaxial layer growth. This results in several Si_1−x Ge _x interfaces in the epitaxially grown material with significant strain fields at these interfaces. The strain fields enable a dislocation blocking mechanism at the Si_1−x Ge _x interfaces on which we were able to deposit very smooth, atomically flat, tensile-strained Si and relaxed Ge layers for the fabrication of high mobility N and P channel metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) devices, respectively. Both N and P channel metal oxide semiconductor field effect transister (MOSFETs) were successfully fabricated using high-k dielectric and metal gates on these layers, demonstrating that this technique of using ultra-thin dislocation blocking layers might be ideal for incorporating high mobility channel materials in a conventional CMOS process.     

Autonomous Fire-Detection System Using Adaptive Sensory Fusion for Intelligent Security Robot

The multisensor fire-detection algorithm is one of the current important issues in the field of fire-detection systems for intelligent buildings. This paper proposes an adaptive fusion algorithm for fire detection, and uses a smoke sensor, flame sensor, and temperature sensor to detect fire incident. In reality, the phenomenon of the fire incident may have smoke, flame, and high-temperature situations. However, these signals may happen simultaneously or sequentially. We use adaptive fusion algorithms to a more reliable decision. However, the adaptive fusion algorithm is more complex in real conditions. Therefore, we use a Taylor expression to modify the adaptive fusion algorithm and simulate to compare with results on first-order, second-order, and third-order expressions. The modified adaptive fusion method can provide adequate reliable fusion for fire detection. We use computer simulation to improve the adaptive fusion algorithm that is accurate and adequate. Then, we design a fire-detection module using an ionization smoke sensor (TG-135), temperature semiconductor sensor (AD590), and ultraviolet sensor (R2868). The experimental results of the fire-detection module demonstrate that it can detect fire incidents in a variety of conditions. Finally, we implement the real-time fire-detection module in an intelligent security robot (Chung Cheng I). If a fire incident occurs, the security robot can find the fire source using the fire-detection module and transmit the detected message to the user via the Internet and a GSM modem.     

A Novel Athermal 40-Channel DWDM Multi/Demultiplexer Based on the Combination of AWGs and Interleaver

An athermal 40-channel dense wavelength-division-multiplexing multi/demultiplexer using a novel combination technology is proposed. It consists of one 1times4 100- to 400-GHz spacing interleaver filter and four sub-arrayed-waveguide gratings (AWGs). The temperature-dependent wavelength shift of the combined device is successfully suppressed to 0.058 nm in the -20degC to 70degC temperature range. Moreover, the combined device's adjacent crosstalk (typically -35 dB) is much better than conventional AWGs (typically -25 dB).     

EFFICIENT CYCLIC PREFIX RECONSTRUCTION USING DECISION FEEDBACK FILTER FOR CODED SINGLE-CARRIER SYSTEMS WITH FREQUENCY-DOMAIN EQUALIZATION （SC-FDE）

In this paper, an efficient Cyclic Prefix （CP） reconstruction scheme is proposed for Single-Carrier systems with Frequency-Domain Equalization （SC-FDE） that employ insufficient length of CP at the transmitter. By utilizing a decision feedback filter to cancel the residual InterSymbol Interference （ISI） in the equalized signal, the proposed scheme can effectively lower the low bound of performance for the CP reconstruction schemes and can greatly improve the Bit Error P~te （BER） performance of SC-FDE systems. In addition, the existing methods and the proposed scheme are also optimized. It is shown in the simulation results that, when the Signal-to-Noise Ratio （SNR） exceeds a certain threshold, the proposed scheme can achieve the low bound of performance for the existing methods. Moreover, by increasing the number of iteration or through optimization, the low bound can be outperformed.     

A novel iterative scheme for parallel inter-symbol interference channels

In this paper, we propose a novel iterative scheme for exploiting transmit diversity using parallel independent Inter-Symbol Interference （ISI） channels. In this adaptive iterative scheme, we use EXtrinsic Information Transfer （EXIT） chart tool to choose appropriate iterative method from Iterative Combining （IC）, used as parallel concatenation turbo-like scheme, and Turbo Equalization （TE）, used as serial concatenation turbo-like scheme. It is show that the proposed iterative scheme provides excellent performance both analytically and through simulations without any compute complexity increase comparable to IC.     

Power-aware routing based on DSR for Mobile Ad hoc NETworks

Energy consumption is a crucial design concern in Mobile Ad hoc NETworks （MANETs） since nodes are powered by batteries with limited energy, whereas Dynamic Source Routing （DSR） protocol does not take the energy limitation of MANET nodes into account. This paper proposes an energy-saving routing algorithm based on DSR： Power Aware Routing protocol based on DSR （PAR-DSR）. The design objective of PAR-DSR is to select energy-efficient paths. The main features of PAR-DSR are： （1） Nodes use the Signal Attenuation Rate （SAR） to conduct power control operations; （2） Minimum path cost as metric to balance the traffic and energy consumption of wireless nodes. The simulation results show that PAR-DSR can greatly reduce the energy consumption of MANET nodes. The average node lifetime of PAR-DSR is 50%-77% longer than that of DSR.     

Optimal wavelet filter design for remote sensing image compression

A new approach for designing the Biorthogonal Wavelet Filter Bank （BWFB） for the purpose of image compression is presented in this letter. The approach is decomposed into two steps. First, an optimal filter bank is designed in theoretical sense based on Vaidyanathan＇s coding gain criterion in SubBand Coding （SBC） system. Then the above filter bank is optimized based on the criterion of Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio （PSNR） in JPEG2000 image compression system, resulting in a BWFB in practical application sense. With the approach, a series of BWFB for a specific class of applications related to image compression, such as remote sensing images, can be fast designed. Here, new 5/3 BWFB and 9/7 BWFB are presented based on the above approach for the remote sensing image compression applications. Experiments show that the two filter banks are equally performed with respect to CDF 9/7 and LT 5/3 filter in JPEG2000 standard; at the same time, the coefficients and the lifting parameters of the lifting scheme are all rational, which bring the computational advantage, and the ease for VLSI implementation.
