To achieve unified multi-service bearing in the IP network, the largescale access convergence network architecture is proposed.

The key technologies are also introduced in this paper, including endto-end performance guarantee for real time interactive services, fog storing mechanism, and built-in safety transmission with integration of aggregation and control.展开更多

In this paper, we study the convergence property of the fixed point formulation of distributed coordination function （DCF）, which is widely used for medium access control in wireless networks. We first Kind that the fixed point could be repelling, which means that it is impossible for an MAC system to converge at its fixed point. Next, we show the existence of periodic points to prove that the fixed point function will oscillate between two periodic points when the fixed point is repelling. We also find that the average of the two periodic points is a close approximation of the fixed point. Based on the findings, we propose an algorithm to compute the fixed point efficiently. Simulation results verify the accuracy and efficiency of our algorithm compared with the previous fixed point computing method.展开更多
