为了解决认知Ad Hoc网络中节点和链接失效问题,提出一种基于主从机制的认知Ad Hoc网络可靠路由构造方法MSMRC。该协议考虑了网络中主用户活动规律,引入链路可靠时长和信道可靠时长的度量来设计主路由和备份路由。当现有路由失效时,通过预先构造的备份路由快速恢复认知用户之间的通信。实验表明,MSMRC协议能够显著降低平均路由开销,而且可以提高网络的数据包投递率和链路修复率,保证了网络端到端通信的服务质量。     

一种面向空地一体化组网的体系架构

空间网络是空地一体化组网中地面网络延伸的重要组成部分。针对空间网络为移动星座的场景,传统的空地一体化组网模型将空间网络视为独立自治域,利用边界网关协议将空间网络与地面自治域互联起来,最大化同地面网络保持兼容。然而,传统组网模型存在边界网关面临频繁会话中断或大量路由更新等问题。通过重新审视空间网络的角色定位和边界划定问题,提出一种面向空地一体化组网的体系架构Slink。Slink的核心思想是空间网络为地面网络提供互联通道,利用星地网关隔离空地两网间的路由更新。实验仿真表明,Slink体系架构能够有效减小对空间路由器的路由存储空间需求,降低星地网络间的带宽消耗。

Two general integral inequalities and their applications to stability analysis for systems with time‐varying delay

Integral inequalities have been widely used in stability analysis for systems with time‐varying delay because they directly produce bounds for integral terms with respect to quadratic functions. This paper presents two general integral inequalities from which almost all of the existing integral inequalities can be obtained, such as Jensen inequality, the Wirtinger‐based inequality, the Bessel–Legendre inequality, the Wirtinger‐based double integral inequality, and the auxiliary function‐based integral inequalities. Based on orthogonal polynomials defined in different inner spaces, various concrete single/multiple integral inequalities are obtained. They can produce more accurate bounds with more orthogonal polynomials considered. To show the effectiveness of the new inequalities, their applications to stability analysis for systems with time‐varying delay are demonstrated with two numerical examples.

Semi-supervised classification using multiple clusterings

Graph determines the performance of graph-based semi-supervised classification. In this paper, we investigate how to construct a graph from multiple clusterings and propose a method called Semi-Supervised Classification using Multiple Clusterings (SSCMC in short). SSCMC firstly projects original samples into different random subspaces and performs clustering on the projected samples. Then, it constructs a graph by setting an edge between two samples if these two samples are clustered in the same cluster for each clustering. Next, it combines these graphs into a composite graph and incorporates the resulting composite graph with a graph-based semi-supervised classifier based on local and global consistency. Our experimental results on two publicly available facial images show that SSCMC not only achieves higher accuracy than other related methods, but also is robust to input parameters.     

A Review of Element-Based Galerkin Methods for Numerical Weather Prediction: Finite Elements,Spectral Elements,and Discontinuous Galerkin

Numerical weather prediction (NWP) is in a period of transition. As resolutions increase, global models are moving towards fully nonhydrostatic dynamical cores, with the local and global models using the same governing equations; therefore we have reached a point where it will be necessary to use a single model for both applications. The new dynamical cores at the heart of these unified models are designed to scale efficiently on clusters with hundreds of thousands or even millions of CPU cores and GPUs. Operational and research NWP codes currently use a wide range of numerical methods: finite differences, spectral transform, finite volumes and, increasingly, finite/spectral elements and discontinuous Galerkin, which constitute element-based Galerkin (EBG) methods. Due to their important role in this transition, will EBGs be the dominant power behind NWP in the next 10 years, or will they just be one of many methods to choose from? One decade after the review of numerical methods for atmospheric modeling by Steppeler et al. (Meteorol Atmos Phys 82:287–301, 2003), this review discusses EBG methods as a viable numerical approach for the next-generation NWP models. One well-known weakness of EBG methods is the generation of unphysical oscillations in advection-dominated flows; special attention is hence devoted to dissipation-based stabilization methods. Since EBGs are geometrically flexible and allow both conforming and non-conforming meshes, as well as grid adaptivity, this review is concluded with a short overview of how mesh generation and dynamic mesh refinement are becoming as important for atmospheric modeling as they have been for engineering applications for many years.
