A connected dominating set (CDS) was proposed as a virtual backbone to improve the performance of wireless networks. The quality of a virtual backbone is measured not only by approximation factor, which is the ratio of its size to that of minimum CDS, but also time complexity and message complexity. In this paper, a distributed algorithm is presented to construct a minimum CDS for ad hoc and sensor networks. By destroying triangular loops in the virtual backbone, the proposed algorithm can effectively construct a CDS with smaller size. Moreover, our algorithm, which is fully localized, has a constant approximation ratio, linear message and time complexity, and low implementation complexity. The simulation results and theoretical analysis show that our algorithm has better efficiency and performance than conventional approaches.展开更多

Based on this development, the next generation network (NGN) is shaped. The NGN is represented by a packet transport network demarcated functions and services. To provide transport functions in NGN, using Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) technology, there are two main problems, which are multipath routing and traffic distribution, which are what this paper works with. Accordingly, this paper proposes a solution to these two problems using optimization procedures to find the shortest path Dijkstra and Bellman-Ford, which is characterized by a high-speed-oriented selection of a single shortest path between the source and the destination, based on several selected criteria related to the optimal use of the network resources. Solving the information flow distribution problems in large number of nodes network applying salesman procedure or having NP-completeness, causes significant time delay, which means that the proposed solution is not suitable for real time applications. Accordingly, for real time applications, there is a need to move to other methods based on the use of several independent shortest paths.展开更多

Each cluster consisting of a cluster head (CH) and its neighboring nodes can form a dominating set. After some bridging nodes were selected, cluster heads (CHs) connected through these bridging nodes naturally formed a CDS. Although CDS provides obvious backbone architecture, however, the number of cluster heads and bridging nodes may be too large, this may cause the loss of advantages of virtual backbone. When we effectively reduce their numbers, more effectively WCDS (Weakly Connected Dominating Set) can be fining out. Some essential topics on constructing WCDS-based VB in WSN/WMN are discussed in this paper. From the point of view of three different protocol layers, including network (NWK) layer, MAC layer, and physical (PHY) layer, we explore their cross-layer research topics and design algorithms. For NWK layer, area-based WCDS algorithms and routing strategies including via VB and not via VB are discussed. For MAC layer, a WCDS-based energy-efficient MAC protocol is presented. For PHY layer, battery-aware alternative VB selections and sensor nodes with different transmission ranges are addressed.展开更多

Given the colossal investments required to deploy these networks, particularly related to the cost of equipment (optical fibers, transponders and multiplexers), the optimization of bandwidth and dynamic allocation of resources is essential to control operating costs and ensure continuity of service. Automatic switching technology for optical networks brings intelligence to the control plane to fully facilitate bandwidth utilization, traffic redirection, and automatic configuration of end-to-end services. This paper considers a local network operator’s WDM network without the implementation of the automatic switching technology, develops a network modeling software platform called Graphic Networks and using graph theory integrates a particularity of the automatic switching technology, which is the automatic rerouting of traffic in case of incident in the network. The incidents considered here are those links or route failures and node failures.展开更多

Given the colossal investments required to deploy these networks, particularly related to the cost of equipment (optical fibers, transponders and multiplexers), the optimization of bandwidth and dynamic allocation of resources is essential to control operating costs and ensure continuity of service. Automatic switching technology for optical networks brings intelligence to the control plane to fully facilitate bandwidth utilization, traffic redirection, and automatic configuration of end-to-end services. This paper considers a local network operator’s WDM network without the implementation of the automatic switching technology, develops a network modeling software platform called Graphic Networks and using graph theory integrates a particularity of the automatic switching technology, which is the automatic rerouting of traffic in case of incident in the network. The incidents considered here are those links or route failures and node failures.
文摘为更好调节皮革真空干燥机温度控制效果,提出一种基于改进Yolov5网络的经皮革真空干燥机干燥的皮革图像缺陷检测方法。其中,首先对Yolov5网络的主干网络和损失函数进行改进,然后采用改进的Yolov5网络对经皮革真空干燥机干燥的皮革图像进行缺陷检测;最后将该网络用于经皮革真空干燥机干燥的皮革裂缝图像等的缺陷检测中。结果表明,改进后的Yolov5网络的精确率、召回率和m A P分别取值为96.47%、95.19%和97.32%,相较于改进前,分别提升14.15%、28.02%和19.63%;对比于传统的卷积神经网络和改进双边滤波检测算法,本网络的精确率、召回率和m A P明显更高。综合分析可知,采用本网络可实现对皮革真空干燥机干燥后的皮革进行图像检测,从而为后续的干燥机温度控制提供参考。
