Bandwidth‐guaranteed QoS routing of multiple parallel paths in CDMA/TDMA ad hoc wireless networks

This paper investigates the issues of QoS routing in CDMA/TDMA ad hoc networks. Since the available bandwidth is very limited in ad hoc networks, a QoS request between two nodes will be blocked if there does not exist a path that can meet the QoS requirements, even though there is enough free bandwidth in the whole system. In this paper, we propose a new scheme of using multiple paths between two nodes as the route for a QoS call. The aggregate bandwidth of the multiple paths can meet the bandwidth requirement of the call and the delays of these paths are within the required bound of the call. We also propose three strategies by which to choose a set of paths as the route, namely, shortest path first (SPF), largest bandwidth first (LBF), and largest hop‐bandwidth first (LHBF). Extensive simulations have been conducted to evaluate the performance of the three strategies in comparison with a traditional single path routing algorithm. The simulation results show that the proposed multiple paths routing scheme significantly reduces the system blocking rates in various network environments, especially when the network load is heavy.

Energy considerations for topology-unaware TDMA MAC protocols

Since the energy budget of mobile nodes is limited, the performance of a networking protocol for such users should be evaluated in terms of its energy efficiency, in addition to the more traditional metrics such as throughput. In this paper, two topology-unaware MAC protocols—in which the scheduling time slots are allocated irrespectively of the underline topology—are considered and their energy consumption is derived. It turns out that the per frame power consumption is lower for the less throughput-efficient protocol, suggesting that energy savings are achieved at the expense of throughput.A finer energy consumption study is carried out in the sequel, focusing on the amount of energy consumed to successfully transmit a certain number of packets, or equivalently, on the per successful transmission power consumption. It is shown that the more throughput-efficient protocol consumes less energy per successful transmission under certain conditions (which are derived), due to the lower number of transmission attempts before a data packet is successfully transmitted. The same energy-efficiency relation is observed under certain conditions (which are derived) when data packets are delay constrained and, thus, may become obsolete if not transmitted successfully within a specific time interval. The conditions under which the per successful transmission power consumption is minimized for delay-constrained packets, are also established in this work and it is observed that when the system throughput is maximized, the power consumed is close to the minimum. Simulation results support the claims and the expectations of the aforementioned analysis.     

Advanced on-board processing for user oriented communication systems

The continuing improvement of RF components, particularly in the field of spot-beam antennas, combined with the steady progress in digital technology, leads us to consider the advantages of a satellite system able to provide full connectivity to ground stations operating at different data rates. For low data rates, two different access methods: continuous TDM and Multi-carrier TDMA, are compared for earth-stations operating at 2Mb/s. The two methods are compared from the point of view of efficiency and adaptability in a non-uniform load environment. Some control criteria are proposed for the Multi-carrier system. Both methods are particularly suited for small users.

强化两相混合的超临界技术制备聚乳酸微粒

针对商品化聚乳酸微球粒径分布较宽难于适用气溶胶给药要求的不足,采用水力空化混合强化超临界流体辅助雾化技术(SAA-HCM)制备聚乳酸(PLA)超细微粒.该技术主要特点是通过在超临界流体和液相进料处引入水力空化混合器,强化两相间的混合.考察SAA-HCM过程混合器压力、温度、沉淀器温度、进料中CO2与液体溶液质量流量比和溶液质量浓度等操作参数对微粒形态和粒径分布的影响,成功制备出球形度较好,粒径分布较窄(1～3μm)的PLA微球.经X射线衍射(XRD)分析和差示扫描量热(DSC)分析显示,与原料PLA相比,微球晶型及热曲线变化不大,但结晶度下降.同时把操作参数与相行为进行关联,探讨了影响颗粒形貌的机理.对比超临界流体辅助雾化法(SAA)的实验结果表明:水力空化的引入能有效强化混合器内的两相传质,混合更好,能制备出适用于气溶胶给药要求的超细微粒.

基于现场试验的海上风电大直径单桩三维水平承载力研究

p－y 曲线法是计算分析水平受荷桩常采用的方法。但现场多为 3 m 以内直径试桩,对于海上风电大直径单桩( 4～8 m) 结构的桩土相互作用计算分析,其适用性值得商榷。结合江苏某海上风电大直径钢管桩水平静载荷试验,得到桩身挠度曲线和弯矩曲线; 采用 ABAQUS 建立单桩三维数值模型,将数值模拟结果与试验结果进行了对比分析,并对桩土接触法向刚度进行初步的敏感性分析,验证数值模型的有效性和适用性。随后对大直径单桩进行水平静载数值模拟,与规范推荐的 p－y 曲线法计算结果进行对比,结果表明,规范推荐的 p－y 曲线法过于保守,规范推荐的 p－y 曲线法不适于直接应用在大直径钢管桩的水平承载力分析; 所得结论对该区域海上风电大直径钢管桩设计优化具有指导意义。
