Some schemes have been proposed to provide IP mobility support for aeronautical network, and Network Mobility (NEMO) scheme is the most promising one. However, using NEMO technology will lead to sub-optimal routing, so route optimization technology is highly desired for NEMO. A route optimization scheme is proposed for the ATS and AOS domains, which introduces the Correspondent Routers to realize the optimal routing and employs an improved procedure to reduce the handoff delay. The route optimization for the PIES domain is also discussed to provide better performance for some special scenarios.展开更多

文摘As one of the famous effects in the quantum Rabi model(QRM),Rabi oscillation may lead to the occurrence of quantum dynamical behaviors without classical dynamic counterparts,such as quantum collapse and revival effects.In this paper,we focus on studying the long-time quantum signatures of chaos in the large atom-light frequency ratios of the Rabi model.It is shown that the saturated values of the entanglement entropy for initial states located in chaotic sea are higher than that in the regular regions,and the Husimi Q function are more dispersed in phase space.Moreover,we observed that the long-time average entanglement entropy and spin variance correspond well with the semiclassical phase space.Our results imply that the correspondence principle is not invalidated by quantum collapse and revival effects in the large atom-light frequency ratios Rabi model.
文摘Monte Carlo(MC) simulations have been performed to refine the estimation of the correction-toscaling exponent ω in the 2D φ^(4)model,which belongs to one of the most fundamental universality classes.If corrections have the form ∝ L^(-ω),then we find ω=1.546(30) andω=1.509(14) as the best estimates.These are obtained from the finite-size scaling of the susceptibility data in the range of linear lattice sizes L ∈[128,2048] at the critical value of the Binder cumulant and from the scaling of the corresponding pseudocritical couplings within L∈[64,2048].These values agree with several other MC estimates at the assumption of the power-law corrections and are comparable with the known results of the ε-expansion.In addition,we have tested the consistency with the scaling corrections of the form ∝ L^(-4/3),∝L^(-4/3)In L and ∝L^(-4/3)/ln L,which might be expected from some considerations of the renormalization group and Coulomb gas model.The latter option is consistent with our MC data.Our MC results served as a basis for a critical reconsideration of some earlier theoretical conjectures and scaling assumptions.In particular,we have corrected and refined our previous analysis by grouping Feynman diagrams.The renewed analysis gives ω≈4-d-2η as some approximation for spatial dimensions d <4,or ω≈1.5 in two dimensions.
