蓝牙网络的带宽容量分析

目前,无线个人域网(WPAN)的发展已经吸引了人们的特别关注,其中的蓝牙技术就是一种新兴的WPAN技术。蓝牙是一种短距离的无线通信技术,它的带宽资源非常有限,因此合理利用蓝牙网络的带宽以及有效地分配带宽资源就成为了目前蓝牙网络发展的一个重要方面。该文在介绍蓝牙网络、比较蓝牙网络与IEEE802.11无线局域网(WLAN)的基础上,对蓝牙网络的容量进行了定量分析,并分析了其网络模型,给出了链路的容量条件。此外,还分析了无线网络在资源分配时所使用的流量模型。这两个模型的相同之处就在于都可以通过凸形优化问题来解决容量的分配。     

Spectral resource defragmentation based on PCE in flexible bandwidth optical networks

The granularity of the flexible bandwidth optical network is the spectral slots,which is much smaller than that of the wavelength switch optical network.For the dynamic clients’ connections setup and tear down processes,it will give rise to fragmentation of spectral resources.It is the decline in the probability of finding sufficient contiguous spectrum for new connections that result in the fragmentation of spectral resource.To be more specific,these spectra may be unavailable and waste.In this case,the severe waste of the spectrum will lead to low efficiency in spectral utilization and will not adapt to large capacity requirements of transmission in the future.Because path computation element(PCE) framework has the characteristics of the central disposal and deployment of the spectrum resource,we construct the spectral resource allocation scenario based on PCE framework in the flexible bandwidth optical network to use spectrum resource effectively.Based on the principle of the generation of the fragmentation,we put forward a spectrum resource defragmentation algorithm to consolidate the available spectrum for clients’ connections.The simulation results indicate that this algorithm is able to reduce fragmentation of network,improve the continuity of spectral resource,reduce the blocking rate of services in the network and improve the spectral efficiency significantly.     

Test bed for characterization and predistortion of power amplifiers

A platform of high accuracy and reliability is crucial for power amplifier (PA) designers to assess the characteristics of the PA prototype, and for the digital predistorter engineers to validate their models and algorithms. Digital processing techniques for building a test bed of high performance for PA characterization and predistortion (PD) are discussed in this article. We also proposed a novel technique to characterize the frequency responses of the vector signal generator and vector signal analyzer independently without using any other instrument. The techniques described in this article are quite useful, especially for narrowband vector transmitters and receivers, to improve their performance. These techniques were experimentally evaluated, both for characterization and PD of a class‐F PA. Test results show that using such techniques can successfully build a test bed of high accuracy and wide bandwidth. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE, 2013.     

Throughput-based fair bandwidth allocation in OBS networks

Fair bandwidth allocation (FBA) has been studied in optical burst switching (OBS) networks, with the main idea being to map the max-min fairness in traditional IP networks to the fair-loss probability in OBS networks. This approach has proven to be fair in terms of the bandwidth allocation for differential connections, but the use of the ErlangB formula to calculate the theoretical loss probability has made this approach applicable only to Poisson flows. Furthermore, it is necessary to have a reasonable fairness measure to evaluate FBA models. This article proposes an approach involving throughput-based-FBA, called TFBA, and recommends a new fairness measure that is based on the ratio of the actual throughput to the allocated bandwidth. An analytical model for the performance of the output link with TFBA is also proposed.     

The Role of Extracellular Vesicles in the Progression of Human Neuroblastoma

The long-underestimated role of extracellular vesicles in cancer is now reconsidered worldwide by basic and clinical scientists, who recently highlighted novel and crucial activities of these moieties. Extracellular vesicles are now considered as king transporters of specific cargoes, including molecular components of parent cells, thus mediating a wide variety of cellular activities both in normal and neoplastic tissues. Here, we discuss the multifunctional activities and underlying mechanisms of extracellular vesicles in neuroblastoma, the most frequent common extra-cranial tumor in childhood. The ability of extracellular vesicles to cross-talk with different cells in the tumor microenvironment and to modulate an anti-tumor immune response, tumorigenesis, tumor growth, metastasis and drug resistance will be pinpointed in detail. The results obtained on the role of extracellular vesicles may represent a panel of suggestions potentially useful in practice, due to their involvement in the response to chemotherapy, and, moreover, their ability to predict resistance to standard therapies—all issues of clinical relevance.
