The terrestrial relays act as the supplement of traditional small cells and cooperatively provide seamless coverage for users in the densely populated areas.To deal with the dynamic satellite backhaul links and backhaul capacity caused by the satellite mobility, severe co-channel interference in both satellite backhaul links and user links introduced by spectrum sharing,and the difference demands of users as well as heterogeneous characteristics of terrestrial backhaul and satellite backhaul, we propose a joint user association and satellite selection scheme to maximize the total sum rate. The optimization problem is formulated via jointly considering the influence of dynamic backhaul links, individual requirements and targeted interference management strategies, which is decomposed into two subproblems: user association and satellite selection. The user association is formulated as a nonconvex optimization problem, and solved through a low-complexity heuristic scheme to find the most suitable access point serving each user. Then, the satellite selection is resolved based on the cooperation among terrestrial relays to maximize the total backhaul capacity with the minimum date rate constraints. Finally,simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in terms of total sum rate and power efficiency of TRs' backhaul.展开更多

It has many advantages such as simple parallel distributed computation, distributed storage, and fast learning. Four factors related to a node becoming a cluster-head are drawn by analysis, which are energy （ energy available in each node）, number （the number of neighboring nodes）, centrality （ a value to classify the nodes based on the proximity how central the node is to the cluster）, and location （the distance between the base station and the node）. The factors are as input variables of neural networks and the output variable is suitability that is the degree of a node becoming a cluster head. A group of cluster-heads are selected according to the size of network. Then the base station broadcasts a message containing the list of cluster-heads＇ IDs to all nodes. After that, each cluster-head announces its new status to all its neighbors and sets up a new cluster. If a node around it receives the message, it registers itself to be a member of the cluster. After identifying all the members, the cluster-head manages them and carries out data aggregation in each cluster. Thus data flowing in the network decreases and energy consumption of nodes decreases accordingly. Experimental results show that, compared with other algorithms, the proposed algorithm can significantly increase the lifetime of the sensor network.展开更多

The main context is to improve the TOPSIS( Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) network scheme by combining the network properties and the users' requirement accurately and decrease ping-pong effect. The method of entropy and FAHP( Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process) are used to calculate weight value and the sojourn time calculation is used to avoid ping-pang effect. The simulation results show that the improved scheme enhances the more accuracy of network selection than the existing methods and reduces the number of ping-pang effect.展开更多

A real seamless wireless mobile environment is only realized by considering vertical and horizontal handoffs together. One of the major design issues in heterogeneous wireless networks is the support of Vertical Handoff （VHO）. VHO occurs when a multi-interface enabled mobile terminal changes its Point of Attachment （PoA） from one type of wireless access technology to another, while maintaining an active session. In this paper we present a novel multi-criteria VHO algorithm, which chooses the target NAT based on several factors such as user preferences, system parameters, and traf- tic-types with varying Quality of Service （QoS） requirements. Two modules i.e., VHO Neces- sity Estimation （VHONE） module and target NAT selection module, are designed. Both modules utilize several ＂weighted＂ users＇ and system＇s parameters. To improve the robust- ness of the proposed algorithm, the weighting system is designed based on the concept of fuzzy linguistic variables.展开更多

As the network access quality for CN and VN is location related, mobile data offloading(MDO), which dynamically selects access networks for vehicles, should be considered with vehicle route planning to further improve the wireless data throughput of individual vehicles and to enhance the performance of the entire ITS. In this paper, we investigate joint MDO and route selection for an individual vehicle in a metropolitan scenario. We aim to improve the throughput of the target vehicle while guaranteeing its transportation efficiency requirements in terms of traveling time and distance. To achieve this objective, we first formulate the joint route and access network selection problem as a semi-Markov decision process(SMDP). Then we propose an optimal algorithm to calculate its optimal policy. To further reduce the computation complexity, we derive a suboptimal algorithm which reduces the action space. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed optimal algorithm significantly outperforms the existing work in total throughput and the late arrival ratio.Moreover, the heuristic algorithm is able to substantially reduce the computation time with only slight performance degradation.展开更多

文摘Anti-phase domain defects easily form in the in-plane GaAs nanowires(NWs)grown on CMOS-compatiblegroup IV substrates,which makes it difficult to obtain GaAs NWs with a designed length and also leads to asignificant limitation in the growth of high-quality in-plane GaAs NW networks on such substrates.Here,wereport on the selective area growth of anti-phase domain-free in-plane GaAs NWs and NW networks on Ge(111)substrates.Detailed structural studies confirm that the GaAs NW grown using a large pattern period and GaAsNW networks grown by adding the Sb are both high-quality pure zinc-blende single crystals free of stackingfaults,twin defects,and anti-phase domain defects.Room-temperature photoluminescence measurements show asubstantial improvement in crystal quality and good consistency and uniformity of the GaAs NW networks.Ourwork provides useful insights into the controlled growth of high-quality anti-phase domain-defects-free in-planeIII-V NWs and NW networks.

文摘In this paper, we investigate a cooperation mechanism for satellite-terrestrial integrated networks. The terrestrial relays act as the supplement of traditional small cells and cooperatively provide seamless coverage for users in the densely populated areas.To deal with the dynamic satellite backhaul links and backhaul capacity caused by the satellite mobility, severe co-channel interference in both satellite backhaul links and user links introduced by spectrum sharing,and the difference demands of users as well as heterogeneous characteristics of terrestrial backhaul and satellite backhaul, we propose a joint user association and satellite selection scheme to maximize the total sum rate. The optimization problem is formulated via jointly considering the influence of dynamic backhaul links, individual requirements and targeted interference management strategies, which is decomposed into two subproblems: user association and satellite selection. The user association is formulated as a nonconvex optimization problem, and solved through a low-complexity heuristic scheme to find the most suitable access point serving each user. Then, the satellite selection is resolved based on the cooperation among terrestrial relays to maximize the total backhaul capacity with the minimum date rate constraints. Finally,simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in terms of total sum rate and power efficiency of TRs' backhaul.

文摘In order to solve the problem of uncertainty and fuzzy information in the process of weapon equipment system selec-tion,a multi-attribute decision-making(MADM)method based on probabilistic hesitant fuzzy set(PHFS)is proposed.Firstly,we introduce the concept of probability and fuzzy entropy to mea-sure the ambiguity,hesitation and uncertainty of probabilistic hesitant fuzzy elements(PHFEs).Sequentially,the expert trust network is constructed,and the importance of each expert in the network can be obtained by calculating the cumulative trust value under multiple trust propagation paths,so as to obtain the expert weight vector.Finally,we put forward an MADM method combining the probabilistic hesitant fuzzy entropy and grey rela-tion analysis(GRA)model,and an illustrative case is employed to prove the feasibility and effectiveness of the method when solving the weapon system selection decision-making problem.

文摘The radial basis function （RBF）, a kind of neural networks algorithm, is adopted to select clusterheads. It has many advantages such as simple parallel distributed computation, distributed storage, and fast learning. Four factors related to a node becoming a cluster-head are drawn by analysis, which are energy （ energy available in each node）, number （the number of neighboring nodes）, centrality （ a value to classify the nodes based on the proximity how central the node is to the cluster）, and location （the distance between the base station and the node）. The factors are as input variables of neural networks and the output variable is suitability that is the degree of a node becoming a cluster head. A group of cluster-heads are selected according to the size of network. Then the base station broadcasts a message containing the list of cluster-heads＇ IDs to all nodes. After that, each cluster-head announces its new status to all its neighbors and sets up a new cluster. If a node around it receives the message, it registers itself to be a member of the cluster. After identifying all the members, the cluster-head manages them and carries out data aggregation in each cluster. Thus data flowing in the network decreases and energy consumption of nodes decreases accordingly. Experimental results show that, compared with other algorithms, the proposed algorithm can significantly increase the lifetime of the sensor network.

文摘Ground hydraulic fracturing plays a crucial role in controlling the far-field hard roof,making it imperative to identify the most suitable target stratum for effective control.Physical experiments are conducted based on engineering properties to simulate the gradual collapse of the roof during longwall top coal caving(LTCC).A numerical model is established using the material point method(MPM)and the strain-softening damage constitutive model according to the structure of the physical model.Numerical simulations are conducted to analyze the LTCC process under different hard roofs for ground hydraulic fracturing.The results show that ground hydraulic fracturing releases the energy and stress of the target stratum,resulting in a substantial lag in the fracturing of the overburden before collapse occurs in the hydraulic fracturing stratum.Ground hydraulic fracturing of a low hard roof reduces the lag effect of hydraulic fractures,dissipates the energy consumed by the fracture of the hard roof,and reduces the abutment stress.Therefore,it is advisable to prioritize the selection of the lower hard roof as the target stratum.

文摘It is a hot issue in communication research field to select the best network for Heterogeneous Wireless Networks(HWNs),and it is also a difficult problem to reduce the handoff number of vertical handoff.In order to solve this problem,the paper proposes a multiple attribute network selection algorithm based on Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP)and synergetic theory.The algorithm applies synergetics to network selection,considering the candidate network as a compound system composed of multiple attribute subsystems,and combines the subsystem order degree with AHP weight to obtain entropy of the compound system,which is opposite the synergy degree of a network system.The greater the synergy degree,the better the network performance.The algorithm takes not only the coordination of objective attributes but also Quality of Service(QoS)requirements into consideration,ensuring that users select the network with overall good performance.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively reduce the handoff number and provide uses with satisfactory QoS according to different services.

文摘This paper deals with network selection problem for users in heterogeneous network environment. The main context is to improve the TOPSIS( Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) network scheme by combining the network properties and the users' requirement accurately and decrease ping-pong effect. The method of entropy and FAHP( Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process) are used to calculate weight value and the sojourn time calculation is used to avoid ping-pang effect. The simulation results show that the improved scheme enhances the more accuracy of network selection than the existing methods and reduces the number of ping-pang effect.
文摘Even though various wireless Net- work Access Technologies （NATs） with dif- ferent specifications and applications have been developed in the recent years, no single wireless technology alone can satisfy the any- time, anywhere, and any service wire- less-access needs of mobile users. A real seamless wireless mobile environment is only realized by considering vertical and horizontal handoffs together. One of the major design issues in heterogeneous wireless networks is the support of Vertical Handoff （VHO）. VHO occurs when a multi-interface enabled mobile terminal changes its Point of Attachment （PoA） from one type of wireless access technology to another, while maintaining an active session. In this paper we present a novel multi-criteria VHO algorithm, which chooses the target NAT based on several factors such as user preferences, system parameters, and traf- tic-types with varying Quality of Service （QoS） requirements. Two modules i.e., VHO Neces- sity Estimation （VHONE） module and target NAT selection module, are designed. Both modules utilize several ＂weighted＂ users＇ and system＇s parameters. To improve the robust- ness of the proposed algorithm, the weighting system is designed based on the concept of fuzzy linguistic variables.

文摘In order to support advanced vehicular Internet-of-Things(IoT)applications,information exchanges among different vehicles are required to find efficient solutions for catering to different application requirements in complex and dynamic vehicular environments.Federated learning(FL),which is a type of distributed learning technology,has been attracting great interest in recent years as it performs knowledge exchange among different network entities without a violation of user privacy.However,client selection and networking scheme for enabling FL in dynamic vehicular environments,which determines the communication delay between FL clients and the central server that aggregates the models received from the clients,is still under-explored.In this paper,we propose an edge computing-based joint client selection and networking scheme for vehicular IoT.The proposed scheme assigns some vehicles as edge vehicles by employing a distributed approach,and uses the edge vehicles as FL clients to conduct the training of local models,which learns optimal behaviors based on the interaction with environments.The clients also work as forwarder nodes in information sharing among network entities.The client selection takes into account the vehicle velocity,vehicle distribution,and the wireless link connectivity between vehicles using a fuzzy logic algorithm,resulting in an efficient learning and networking architecture.We use computer simulations to evaluate the proposed scheme in terms of the communication overhead and the information covered in learning.

文摘In intelligent transportation system(ITS), the interworking of vehicular networks(VN) and cellular networks(CN) is proposed to provide high-data-rate services to vehicles. As the network access quality for CN and VN is location related, mobile data offloading(MDO), which dynamically selects access networks for vehicles, should be considered with vehicle route planning to further improve the wireless data throughput of individual vehicles and to enhance the performance of the entire ITS. In this paper, we investigate joint MDO and route selection for an individual vehicle in a metropolitan scenario. We aim to improve the throughput of the target vehicle while guaranteeing its transportation efficiency requirements in terms of traveling time and distance. To achieve this objective, we first formulate the joint route and access network selection problem as a semi-Markov decision process(SMDP). Then we propose an optimal algorithm to calculate its optimal policy. To further reduce the computation complexity, we derive a suboptimal algorithm which reduces the action space. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed optimal algorithm significantly outperforms the existing work in total throughput and the late arrival ratio.Moreover, the heuristic algorithm is able to substantially reduce the computation time with only slight performance degradation.

文摘This paper brings forward a novel dynamic multiple access network selection scheme(NDMAS),which could achieve less energy loss and improve the poor adaptive capability caused by the variable network parameters.Firstly,a multiple access network selection mathematical model based on information theory is presented.From the perspective of information theory,access selection is essentially a process to reduce the information entropy in the system.It can be found that the lower the information entropy is,the better the system performance fulfills.Therefore,this model is designed to reduce the information entropy by removing redundant parameters,and to avoid the computational cost as well.Secondly,for model implementation,the Principal Component Analysis(PCA) is employed to process the observation data to find out the related factors which affect the users most.As a result,the information entropy is decreased.Theoretical analysis proves that system loss and computational complexity have been decreased by using the proposed approach,while the network QoS and accuracy are guaranteed.Finally,simulation results show that our scheme achieves much better system performance in terms of packet delay,throughput and call blocking probability than other currently existing ones.
