Group-based user pairing for virtual MIMO in LTE

A user pairing method is proposed to improve the throughput gain of virtual multiple input multiple output (virtual MIMO) in 3G long-term evolution (LTE).The approach taken in this study separated the user pairing into four steps 1) the users are divided into two groups according to their signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and different user pairing metrics are proposed for each group; 2) the scheduler chooses a user for transmitting by a given rule; 3) the scheduler searches the pairing candidate for the selected user in each group; 4) the scheduler chooses the final pairing user from the co-group and crossover-group candidates by using a marginal utility function, to balance fairness and efficiency.The method can improve the throughput of users with high SNR, and guarantee fairness for users with low SNR, so it can be used in 3G LTE systems.The article provides both theoretical analysis and simulation results to support the idea.     

Broad-area InAs/GaAs quantum dot lasers incorporating intermixed passive waveguide

InAs/GaAs quantum dot lasers incorporating passive waveguide created by post-growth intermixing processing have been studied. Emission wavelength of the passive section shows relative blueshift as high as 135 nm with respect to the emission wavelength of the active section. Intrinsic losses in the section formed by the intermixing are very small. Broad-area lasers with 100 mum stripe width incorporating intermixed section have demonstrated improvements in far-field pattern under both pulsed and continuous wave pumping current     

Cloud service provisioning in two types of DCN with awareness of delay and link failure probability

Cloud service based on data center network (DCN) has become an attractive choice for various applications. Traditionally, multiple DCs are distributed at different nodes across a given optical network, and users access DCs through predefined routes (this architecture is named as Multiple Independent DCN, MI-DCN). However, as there exist transmission delay and failure probability on each link, such a network may not be a good choice for the service providers from the perspective of service reliability and cost. Therefore, we propose the idea of regrouping all the racks and distributing each rack group on a special node, where there exists a gateway (this architecture is named as Integrated Distributed DCN, ID-DCN). As each group can provide service independently, by properly grouping and routing, the whole network can work more efficiently with lower cost and higher reliability. In this paper, we study the service provision in the above two types of DCN. With the given failure probability and transmission delay on each link, we aim to minimize the total service cost and design the access routes for the demands originated from each node. To integrate the system cost, we introduce two cost scaling factors for delay and failure probability, which can be flexibly adjusted to control their relative importance (i.e., the weights). Based on mathematical approximation, a novel method is proposed to compute the failure probabilities of individual service paths. This translates our objective function into a linear expression. Then, we formulate two integer linear programs (ILP) to compare the solutions of the two scenarios. Via extensive numerical experiments, the performance of the two schemes is properly verified.     

Terahertz emission from CdHgTe/HgTe quantum wells with an inverted band structure

The terahertz electroluminescence from Cd_0.7Hg_0.3Te/HgTe quantum wells with an inverted band structure in lateral electric fields is experimentally detected and studied. The emission-spectrum maximum for wells 6.5 and 7 nm wide is near 6 meV which corresponds to interband optical transitions. The emission is explained by state depletion in the valence band and conduction band filling due to Zener tunneling, which is confirmed by power-law current–voltage characteristics.

Taming Charge Transport in Semiconducting Polymers with Branched Alkyl Side Chains

The solid‐state packing and polymer orientation relative to the substrate are key properties to control in order to achieve high charge carrier mobilities in organic field effect transistors (OFET). Intuitively, shorter side chains are expected to yield higher charge carrier mobilities because of a denser solid state packing motif and a higher ratio of charge transport moieties. However our findings suggest that the polymer chain orientation plays a crucial role in high‐performing diketopyrrolopyrrole‐based polymers. By synthesizing a series of DPP‐based polymers with different branched alkyl side chain lengths, it is shown that the polymer orientation depends on the branched alkyl chain lengths and that the highest carrier mobilities are obtained only if the polymer adopts a mixed face‐on/edge‐on orientation, which allows the formation of 3D carrier channels in an otherwise edge‐on‐oriented polymer chain network. Time‐of‐flight measurements performed on the various polymer films support this hypothesis by showing higher out‐of‐plane carrier mobilities for the partially face‐on‐oriented polymers. Additionally, a favorable morphology is mimicked by blending a face‐on polymer into an exclusively edge‐on oriented polymer, resulting in higher charge carrier mobilities and opening up a new avenue for the fabrication of high performing OFET devices.
