Evaluation of the Thermal Comfort of a Thermoelectric Ceiling Cooling Panel (TE-CCP) System

This present work evaluates the cooling performance and thermal comfort of a thermoelectric ceiling cooling panel (TE-CCP) system composed of 36 TE modules. The cold side of the TE modules was fixed to an aluminum ceiling panel to cool a test chamber of 4.5 m³ volume, while a copper heat exchanger with circulating cooling water at the hot side of the TE modules was used for heat release. Thermal acceptability assessment was performed to find out whether the indoor environment met the ASHRAE Standard-55's 80% acceptability criteria. The standard was met with the TE-CCP system operating at 1 A of current flow with a corresponding cooling capacity of 201.6 W, which gives the COP of 0.82 with an average indoor temperature of 27°C and 0.8 m/s indoor air velocity.     

Capacity and SER Analysis of MIMO MRC Systems in an Interference-Limited Environment

The effect of co-channel interference (CCI) is considered in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems employing maximal ratio combining (MRC) under independent and identically distributed Rayleigh fading. Closed-form capacity and symbol error rate expressions are presented to evaluate the performance without any numerical integrations or statistical simulations. The analytical results are compared with Monte Carlo simulations and the good agreement is obtained.

网络容量是评估无线Ad Hoc网络性能的重要参数。本文的目的是研究如何使Ad Hoc网络容量达到最大。文章从一个全新的角度考虑Ad Hoc网络的建模，核心思想是Ad Hoc网络节点间的传输具有有限资源（包括带宽、功率等），在同等条件下若能使网络传输消耗资源最小，则网络容量迭到最大。建立了资源消耗的线性规划方程，利用图论的方法对问题求解并对算法进行改进，得到相应的路由策略。由仿真试验说明修改后的算法更加高效。

Performance of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing based M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation in asymmetrical dual-hop mixed RF-FSO transmission system

This paper investigates the performance of a dual-hop mixed relay system with radio frequency (RF) and free-space optics (FSO) communication under the effect of pointing error (PE) and atmospheric turbulence (AT). This paper considers a system where RF and FSO links are cascaded. The RF link is modeled by Nakagami-m fading, and the FSO link is modeled as gamma–gamma (G-G) fading channel. Both the channel models use orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM). The expressions for probability density function, cumulative distribution function, signal-to-noise ratio, and ergodic capacity are derived. The moment generating function (MGF) of fading and the bit error rate (BER) of the OFDM-based M-ary QAM scheme is derived in terms of Meijer's G-function. It has been observed that, in fixed gain relay systems, the modulation scheme's BER is dominated by the SNR of the RF link. While in a variable gain relay system, the turbulence conditions of the FSO system affect the SNR and the BER of the modulation method. The feasibility of heterodyne detection and intensity modulation direct detection (IM/DD) is analyzed in terms of outage probability and ergodic capacity. The results can be used to choose the optimal modulation order and relay system for QAM-OFDM-based optical wireless systems.     

Ultra-High Capacity and Cyclability of β-phase Ca0.14V2O5 as a Promising Cathode in Calcium-Ion Batteries

Crystalline water-free β-phase Ca_0.14V₂O₅ is reported for the first time as a viable cathode material for calcium-ion batteries (CIBs). In contrast to layered α-V₂O₅ and δ-Ca_xV₂O₅·nH₂O, which have limited capacity, the β-phase delivers a reversible capacity of ≈247 mAh g⁻¹, which corresponds to the insertion/extraction of Ca²⁺ between Ca_0.14V₂O₅ and Ca_1.0V₂O₅. The process of Ca²⁺ insertion process and the accompanying structural relaxation are theoretically and experimentally verified. The initial insertion of Ca²⁺ into Ca_0.14V₂O₅ causes a slight shift of oxygen atoms surrounding hepta-coordination sites, creating penta-coordinated sites that are then partially filled up to Ca_0.33V₂O₅. Further insertion occurs through the stepwise occupation of up to 50% of neighboring hexa- and tetra-coordination sites to form Ca_0.67V₂O₅ and Ca_1.0V₂O₅, respectively. The rearrangement of oxygen atoms in Ca_0.14V₂O₅ also minimizes dimensional changes, leading to high cyclic stability during repeated charge/discharge cycles. The remarkable electrochemical performance of full cells containing a Ca_0.14V₂O₅ cathode and a K metal anode in Ca²⁺/K⁺ hybrid electrolytes, is also demonstrated, thanks to the inertness of K⁺ insertion into Ca_0.14V₂O₅ and the absence of calcium plating/stripping. The cyclic stability and high capacity of Ca_0.14V₂O₅ is not compromised in hybrid electrolytes, making it a viable CIB cathode.     

无线链路多用户视频流传输QoS保证：延时限制及优先级丢包

To provide a certain level of Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees for multiuser wire-less downlink video streaming transmissions, we propose a multiuser scheduling scheme for QoS guarantees. It is based on the classic Queue-Length-Based (QLB)-rate maximum scheduling algorithm and integrated with the delay constraint and the packet priority drop. We use the large deviation principle and the effective capacity theory to construct a new analysis model to find each user’s queue leng-th threshold (delay constraint) violation prob-ability. This probability corresponds to the upper bound of the packet drop probability, which indicates a certain level of statistical QoS guarantees. Then, we utilize the priority information of video packets and introduce the packet priority drop to further improve the quality perceived by each user. The simu-lation results show that the average Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) value of the priority drop is 0.8 higher than that of the non-priority drop and the PSNR value of the most badly damaged video frame in the priority drop is on an average 4 higher than that of the non-priority drop.
