文摘As vehicular networks become increasingly pervasive,enhancing connectivity and reliability has emerged as a critical objective.Among the enabling technologies for advanced wireless communication,particularly those targeting low latency and high reliability,time synchronization is critical,especially in vehicular networks.However,due to the inherent mobility of vehicular environments,consistently exchanging synchronization packets with a fixed base station or access point is challenging.This issue is further exacerbated in signal shadowed areas such as urban canyons,tunnels,or large-scale indoor hallswhere other technologies,such as global navigation satellite system(GNSS),are unavailable.One-way synchronization techniques offer a feasible approach under such transient connectivity conditions.One-way schemes still suffer from long convergence times to reach the required synchronization accuracy in these circumstances.In this paper,we propose a WLAN-based multi-stage clock synchronization scheme(WMC)tailored for vehicular networks.The proposed method comprises an initial hard update stage to rapidly achieve synchronization,followed by a high-precision stable stage based on Maximum Likelihood Estimation(MLE).By implementing the scheme directly at the network driver,we address key limitations of hard update mechanisms.Our approach significantly reduces the initial period to collect high-quality samples and offset estimation time to reach sub-50μs accuracy,and subsequently transitions to a refined MLE-based synchronization stage,achieving stable accuracy at approximately 30μs.The windowed moving average stabilized(reaching 90%of the baseline)in approximately 35 s,which corresponds to just 5.1%of the baseline time accuracy.Finally,the impact of synchronization performance on the localization model was validated using the Simulation of Urban Mobility(SUMO).The results demonstrate that more accurate conditions for position estimation can be supported,with an improvement about 38.5%in the mean error.

文摘Background Pigs fed diets with different ingredients but identical nutritional levels show significant differences in growth performance,indicating that growth may also be influenced by the synchronicity of dietary carbon and nitrogen supply.Therefore,this study aimed to determine glucose release kinetics of various feed ingredients,to investigate a glucose release pattern that is conducive to synchronized carbon–nitrogen supply,and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms by which this synchronization optimizes growth of pigs.Results We analyzed the glucose release kinetics of 23 feed ingredients in vitro and found that their glucose release rates and amounts varied greatly.Based on this,a nitrogen-free diet and 5 purified diets,which represented the observed variations in glucose release rates and quantities among feed ingredients,were designed for 18 ileal-cannulated pigs.The results demonstrated that slower glucose release pattern could disrupt the synchrony of dietary carbon and nitrogen supply,reducing the growth of pigs and increasing nitrogen losses.Specifically,the diet with slower and moderate amounts of glucose release showed a relatively slower release of amino acids.Pigs fed this diet had the lower amino acid digestibility and the enrichment of harmful bacteria,such as Streptococcus,in the terminal ileum.Conversely,the diets with slower and lower glucose release exhibited a relatively rapid release of amino acids but also resulted in poor growth.They increased glucogenic amino acid digestibility and potentially enriched bacteria involved in nitrogen cycling and carbon metabolism.Notably,only the diet with rapid glucose release achieved synchronized and rapid release of nutrients.Pigs fed this diet exhibited higher amino acid digestibility,decreased harmful bacteria enrichment,improved nutrient utilization,and enhanced short-term growth performance.Conclusions Our research analyzed significant differences in glucose release kinetics among swine feed ingredients and revealed that slow glucose release disrupted dietary carbon–nitrogen supply synchrony,shifting amino acid utilization and enriching pathogens,negatively impacting growth and nutrient utilization.Consequently,choosing feed ingredients releasing glucose at a rapid rate to balance dietary carbon and nitrogen supply helps promote pig growth,and ensures efficient feed utilization.

文摘While laser surface texturing(LST)is a promising manufacturing technique for surface functionalization,simultaneously realizing high precision and high efficiency in the LST of complex curved surface is challenging,due to continuously varied geometries of laser-matter incidence.In the present work,we propose a novel manufacturing system of 7-axis on-the-fly LST for complex curved surface,based on the integrated synchronization of 5-axis linkage motion platform with 2-axis galvanometer.Specifically,the algorithm for decomposing spatial texture trajectory on curved surface into low-frequency and high-frequency parts is established,based on which the kinematic model of synchronized 7-axis system is developed to derive the motion of each axis in both 5-axis linkage motion platform and 2-axis galvanometer simultaneously.Subsequently,the synchronized 7-axis LST system is experimentally realized,including the setup of mechanical stages integrated with optical path,the configuration of numerical control unit,and the development of processing software.Finally,case study of 7-axis on-the-fly LST of freeform aluminum surface is performed,and the advantages in terms of processing efficiency and texturing accuracy over 5-axis linkage LST are demonstrated.The correlation of reduced following errors between mechanical stages with the promoted performance of curved surface texturing by the 7-axis on-the-fly LST is further analyzed.Current work provides a feasible solution for establishing the manufacturing system for high performance LST of complex curved surface.
文摘This paper explores the issue of secure synchronization control in piecewise-homogeneous Markovian jump delay neural networks affected by denial-of-service(DoS)attacks.Initially,a novel memory-based adaptive event-triggered mechanism(MBAETM)is designed based on sequential growth rates,focusing on event-triggered conditions and thresholds.Subsequently,from the perspective of defenders,non-periodic DoS attacks are re-characterized,and a model of irregular DoS attacks with cyclic fluctuations within time series is further introduced to enhance the system's defense capabilities more effectively.Additionally,considering the unified demands of network security and communication efficiency,a resilient memory-based adaptive event-triggered mechanism(RMBAETM)is proposed.A unified Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional is then constructed,incorporating a loop functional to thoroughly consider information at trigger moments.The master-slave system achieves synchronization through the application of linear matrix inequality techniques.Finally,the proposed methods'effectiveness and superiority are confirmed through four numerical simulation examples.

文摘The rise of time-sensitive applications with broad geographical scope drives the development of time-sensitive networking(TSN)from intra-domain to inter-domain to ensure overall end-to-end connectivity requirements in heterogeneous deployments.When multiple TSN networks interconnect over non-TSN networks,all devices in the network need to be syn-chronized by sharing a uniform time reference.How-ever,most non-TSN networks are best-effort.Path delay asymmetry and random noise accumulation can introduce unpredictable time errors during end-to-end time synchronization.These factors can degrade syn-chronization performance.Therefore,cross-domain time synchronization becomes a challenging issue for multiple TSN networks interconnected by non-TSN networks.This paper presents a cross-domain time synchronization scheme that follows the software-defined TSN(SD-TSN)paradigm.It utilizes a com-bined control plane constructed by a coordinate con-troller and a domain controller for centralized control and management of cross-domain time synchroniza-tion.The general operation flow of the cross-domain time synchronization process is designed.The mecha-nism of cross-domain time synchronization is revealed by introducing a synchronization model and an error compensation method.A TSN cross-domain proto-type testbed is constructed for verification.Results show that the scheme can achieve end-to-end high-precision time synchronization with accuracy and sta-bility.

文摘Accurate time synchronization is fundamental to the correct and efficient operation of Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs),especially in security-critical,time-sensitive applications.However,most existing protocols degrade substantially under malicious interference.We introduce iSTSP,an Intelligent and Secure Time Synchronization Protocol that implements a four-stage defense pipeline to ensure robust,precise synchronization even in hostile environments:(1)trust preprocessing that filters node participation using behavioral trust scoring;(2)anomaly isolation employing a lightweight autoencoder to detect and excise malicious nodes in real time;(3)reliability-weighted consensus that prioritizes high-trust nodes during time aggregation;and(4)convergence-optimized synchronization that dynamically adjusts parameters using theoretical stability bounds.We provide rigorous convergence analysis including a closed-form expression for convergence time,and validate the protocol through both simulations and realworld experiments on a controlled 16-node testbed.Under Sybil attacks with five malicious nodes within this testbed,iSTSP maintains synchronization error increases under 12%and achieves a rapid convergence.Compared to state-ofthe-art protocols like TPSN,SE-FTSP,and MMAR-CTS,iSTSP offers 60%faster detection,broader threat coverage,and more than 7 times lower synchronization error,with a modest 9.3%energy overhead over 8 h.We argue this is an acceptable trade-off for mission-critical deployments requiring guaranteed security.These findings demonstrate iSTSP’s potential as a reliable solution for secure WSN synchronization and motivate future work on large-scale IoT deployments and integration with energy-efficient communication protocols.
