We provide teletraffic models for loss probability evaluation of optical burst switching (OBS). We show that the popular Engset formula is not exact for OBS modeling and demonstrate that in certain cases it is not appropriate. A new exact model is provided. The various models are compared using numerical results for various OBS alternatives with and without burst segmentation. 相似文献
The network interconnection and its regulation consist in solving the following dilemma: increase competition and preserve the universal service through access charges, which symbolizes today institutional organization within the telecommunication industry. This paper presents some of the economic and social factors that drive the interconnection policies namely ona (open network architecture) in the United States, or onp (open network provision) in Europe. In the first section, we list some social and economical issues related to open network policies. In the second section, we study the different answers brought up by the regulator through alternative interconnection price formulas. In conclusion, we discuss the stakes and risks of interconnection, while the technological evolution of network introduces intelligent software in switching équipement and implements the tremendous abilities of the digital broadband networks. 相似文献
The authors present an adaptive space-time reduced-length minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) receiver to suppress co-channel interference in the near-far environment for an asynchronous direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS/CDMA) system. Simulation results show that better bit-error rate and faster and more stable convergence are achieved over the existing full- and reduced-length MMSE receivers 相似文献
We prove a general recursive inequality concerning /spl mu//sup */(R), the asymptotic (least) density of the best binary covering codes of radius R. In particular, this inequality implies that /spl mu//sup */(R)/spl les/e/spl middot/(RlogR+logR+loglogR+2), which significantly improves the best known density 2/sup R/R/sup R/(R+1)/R!. Our inequality also holds for covering codes over arbitrary alphabets. 相似文献
We propose a method for non-uniform reconstruction of 3D scalar data. Typically, radial basis functions, trigonometric polynomials or shift-invariant functions are used in the functional approximation of 3D data. We adopt a variational approach for the reconstruction and rendering of 3D data. The principle idea is based on data fitting via thin-plate splines. An approximation by B-splines offers more compact support for fast reconstruction. We adopt this method for large datasets by introducing a block-based reconstruction approach. This makes the method practical for large datasets. Our reconstruction will be smooth across blocks. We give reconstruction measurements as error estimations based on different parameter settings and also an insight on the computational effort. We show that the block size used in reconstruction has a negligible effect on the reconstruction error. Finally we show rendering results to emphasize the quality of this 3D reconstruction technique. 相似文献
OBJECTIVES: To determine whether oxytocin exists in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of dogs and whether the amount of oxytocin in the CSF of dogs with neck or back pain caused by spinal cord compression is significantly different than that in the CSF of clinically normal dogs. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective controlled study. ANIMAL POPULATION: A total of 15 purpose-bred beagles and 17 client-owned dogs. METHODS: CSF was collected by needle puncture of the cerebellar medullary cistern after induction of general anesthesia. Oxytocin levels within the samples were determined through radioimmunoassay. RESULTS: Dogs with spinal cord compression had significantly more oxytocin in their CSF than the clinically normal dogs (13.76 +/- 2.0 pg/mL and 3.61 +/- 0.63 pg/mL, respectively; P < .0001). Dogs with chronic signs (>7 days) had significantly more oxytocin in their CSF than dogs with acute signs (<7 days) (21.60 +/- 0.86 pg/mL and 6.80 +/- 0.81 pg/mL, respectively; P < .0001). Both acutely and chronically affected dogs had significantly more oxytocin in their CSF than the controls (P < .005 and P < .0001 respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Dogs with neck and back pain caused by spinal cord compression have significantly more oxytocin in their CSF than clinically normal dogs. Dogs with chronic clinical signs have significantly more oxytocin in their CSF than dogs with acute clinical signs. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: In humans, intrathecal injection of oxytocin is effective in treating low back pain for up to 5 hours. Intrathecal oxytocin may be a logical choice for perioperative analgesia in dogs undergoing myelography because the intrathecal space is accessed for injection of contrast agent. 相似文献
Due to the budget and environmental issues, adaptive energy efficiency receives a lot of attention these days, especially for cloud computing. In the previous research, we developed a combined methodology based on nonparametric prediction and convex optimization to produce proactive energy efficiency-oriented solution. In this work, the predictive analysis was further enhanced by deriving the mixture power spectral density to model the complex cloud monitoring statistics. By engaging the improved technique to the predictive analysis, the prediction process was more adaptive to handle the fluctuation in system utilization. As a consequence, the optimization process could subsequently produce more appropriate setting for energy savings. After the infrastructure setting has been made available, the instruction of virtual machine migration was created and implemented by the cloud orchestrator. This instruction condensed the services into the pool of active facilities, satisfying the objective of power efficiency. Eventually, any physical machine out of the power configuration would be gradually terminated. Compared to our former method, the effectiveness of the proposed technique has been proven by cutting down 4.92% of energy consumption, while still maintaining a similar quality of services.
