Prediction based channel allocation performance for cognitive radio

The interdependency, in a cognitive radio (CR) network, of spectrum sensing, occupancy modelling, channel switching and secondary user (SU) performance, is investigated. Achievable SU data throughput and primary user (PU) disruption rate have been examined for both theoretical test data as well as data obtained from real-world spectrum measurements done in Pretoria, South Africa. A channel switching simulator was developed to investigate SU performance, where a hidden Markov model (HMM) was employed to model and predict PU behaviour, from which proactive channel allocations could be made. Results show that CR performance may be improved if PU behaviour is accurately modelled, since accurate prediction allows the SU to make proactive channel switching decisions. It is further shown that a trade-off may exist between achievable SU throughput and average PU disruption rate. When using the prediction model, significant performance improvements, particularly under heavy traffic density conditions, of up to double the SU throughput and half the PU disruption rate were observed. Results obtained from a measurement campaign were comparable with those obtained from theoretical occupancy data, with an average similarity score of 95% for prediction accuracy, 90% for SU throughput and 70% for PU disruption rate.

DSOI-a novel structure enabling adjust circuit dynamically

A double silicon on insulator (DSOI) structure was introduced based on fully depleted SOI (FDSOI) technology. The circuit performance could be adjusted dynamically through the separate back gate electrodes applied to N-channel and P-channel devices. Based on DSOI ring oscillator (OSC), this paper focused on the theoretical analysis and electrical test of how the OSC''s frequency being influenced by the back gate electrodes (soi2n, soi2p). The testing results showed that the frequency and power consumption of OSC could change nearly linearly along with the back gate bias. According to the different requirements of the circuit designers, the circuit performance could be improved by positive soi2n and negative soi2p, and the power consumption could be reduced by negative soi2n and positive soi2p. The best compromise between performance and power consumption of the circuit could be achieved by appropriate back gate biasing.     

Evaluation of performance enhancing proxies in internet over satellite

Performance enhancing proxies (PEPs) are widely used to improve the performance of TCP over high delay‐bandwidth product links and links with high error probability. In this paper we analyse the performance of using TCP connection splitting in combination with web caching via traces obtained from a commercial satellite system. We examine the resulting performance gain under different scenarios, including the effect of caching, congestion, random loss and file sizes. We show, via analysing our measurements, that the performance gain from using splitting is highly sensitive to random losses and the number of simultaneous connections, and that such sensitivity is alleviated by caching. On the other hand, the use of a splitting proxy enhances the value of web caching in that cache hits result in much more significant performance improvement over cache misses when TCP splitting is used. We also compare the performance of using different versions of HTTP in such a system. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

海洋大气湍流对激光通信系统性能的影响分析

大气湍流引起光波强度在光束截面内的闪烁,降低了激光通信系统的信噪比.应用基于Rytov近似的激光大气传输光强起伏理论模型,在局地均匀各向同性Kolmogolov湍流谱的假设条件下,对大气湍流引起的光强起伏进行了分析.并从信号检测理论出发,将大气湍流与激光通信系统误码率指标相结合.分析结果表明,在典型的海洋大气湍流环境下,以误码率指标衡量,随着C2n的增加,激光通信系统的有效作用距离大大缩短,当C2n达到5×10-15m-2/3时,通信的有效距离不足2 km,当C2n达到3×10-14m-2/3时,通信的有效距离降至1 km以下.

Mobile web for under-privileged in developing countries

In developing nations, Internet infrastructure in scarce; however, majority of people in developing countries also need access to information that matter for their daily life and livelihood. As cost of computers are higher than mobile phones and infrastructure for running computers by stable electricity is not widely available at many places of under developed and developing (hence, referred as developing) countries. One of the major options for under-privileged people in developing countries to access information is through mobile phone. A mobile device with GPRS for access to Internet services is still expensive for a common man to afford in developing countries. Therefore, to offer mobile web for the developing countries, we need to look at SMS (Short Message Service) as transport bearer, which is cheaper and can support most of the actionable services (many important services which needs a few bytes to exchange the information). SMS as transport bearer has one constraints – it does not interoperate (i.e., a user belong to one service provider is not able to access services by SMS-data of another service provider). In this paper, we propose a routing algorithm that makes SMS-data interoperable. We also propose architecture for mobile web over SMS as transport bearer for seamless application access in roaming, number portability, and vehicular condition. Substantial researches have been done on performance of TCP/IP for wireless web that mainly focused on three applications viz., file transfer, Electronic mail, and World Wide Web. This paper presents performance of actionable information through online transaction over TCP/IP and SMS under similar conditions; it shows SMS is not at a disadvantage compared to TCP/IP.
