In this paper, the interplay between technology, market and government in telecommunications is discussed briefly, and then we introduce technology and government into the traditional SCP(Structure – Conduct – Performance) paradigm to develop an industry analysis framework called TGM(SCP)(Technology – Government – Market(Structure – Conduct – Performance)). Based on this framework, we present the spiral coevolution model which elaborates on the interaction mechanism of technological innovation with government regulation and market dynamics from the perspective of industry evolution. Our study indicates that the development of the telecommunications industry is the result of the coevolution of technology, government regulation and market forces, and among the three actors, technology is the fundamental driving force. Relative to the "invisible hand"(market) and "visible hand"(government), we conceptualize technology as the "third hand", which fundamentally drives the development of telecommunications industry in coordination with the other two hands. We also provide several policy implications regarding these findings.展开更多

Enhancement-mode(E-mode) MOSFET was fabricated based on β-Ga_(2)O_(3) film grown by atomic layer deposition technology, and the β-Ga_(2)O_(3) inverter was further monolithically integrated on this basis. The β-Ga_(2)O_(3) n MOSFET exhibits excellent electrical characteristics with an on/off current ratio reaching 10^(5). The logic inverter shows outstanding voltage inversion characteristics under low-frequency from 1 to 400 Hz operation. As the frequency continues to increase to 10 K, the reverse characteristic becomes worse due to parasitic capacitance induced by processes, and the difference between the highest and lowest values of VOUT has an exponential decay relationship with the frequency. This paper provides the practice for the development of β-Ga_(2)O_(3)-based circuits.展开更多

文摘β-Ga_(2)O_(3) MOS inverter should play a crucial role in β-Ga_(2)O_(3) electronic circuits. Enhancement-mode(E-mode) MOSFET was fabricated based on β-Ga_(2)O_(3) film grown by atomic layer deposition technology, and the β-Ga_(2)O_(3) inverter was further monolithically integrated on this basis. The β-Ga_(2)O_(3) n MOSFET exhibits excellent electrical characteristics with an on/off current ratio reaching 10^(5). The logic inverter shows outstanding voltage inversion characteristics under low-frequency from 1 to 400 Hz operation. As the frequency continues to increase to 10 K, the reverse characteristic becomes worse due to parasitic capacitance induced by processes, and the difference between the highest and lowest values of VOUT has an exponential decay relationship with the frequency. This paper provides the practice for the development of β-Ga_(2)O_(3)-based circuits.

文摘Small object detection has been a focus of attention since the emergence of deep learning-based object detection.Although classical object detection frameworks have made significant contributions to the development of object detection,there are still many issues to be resolved in detecting small objects due to the inherent complexity and diversity of real-world visual scenes.In particular,the YOLO(You Only Look Once)series of detection models,renowned for their real-time performance,have undergone numerous adaptations aimed at improving the detection of small targets.In this survey,we summarize the state-of-the-art YOLO-based small object detection methods.This review presents a systematic categorization of YOLO-based approaches for small-object detection,organized into four methodological avenues,namely attention-based feature enhancement,detection-head optimization,loss function,and multi-scale feature fusion strategies.We then examine the principal challenges addressed by each category.Finally,we analyze the performance of thesemethods on public benchmarks and,by comparing current approaches,identify limitations and outline directions for future research.

文摘As investigated by 3GPP,support of UPF(user plane function)onboard satellite can reduce the latency of communications via satellite,and then it becomes a key enhancement in 5G network integrating with satellite communication.However,current 5G system cannot support UPF onboard LEO(low earth orbit)satellites,as it would face challenges like UPF mobility handling,synchronization between mobile network and satellite network,and condition of activating local data switching.To solve such challenges,this paper proposes a solution to support UPF onboard LEO satellite,which consists of enhanced network architecture,I-UPF(intermediate UPF)based local data switching scheme and communication latency based data path selection.We subsequently develop analytic models for performance evaluation and conduct simulations using the constellation configuration of iridium II.The simulation results show that the data switching via I-UPF onboard LEO satellite can reduce E2E(end to end)packet delivery latency and E2E packet loss ratio significantly compared with that of routing the data back to 5GC on the ground.The proposed scheme yet has increased signaling cost for handling UPF mobility.els,compared with existing similar companding algorithms.

文摘With more and more IoT terminals being deployed in various power grid business scenarios,terminal reliability has become a practical challenge that threatens the current security protection architecture.Most IoT terminals have security risks and vulnerabilities,and limited resources make it impossible to deploy costly security protection methods on the terminal.In order to cope with these problems,this paper proposes a lightweight trust evaluation model TCL,which combines three network models,TCN,CNN,and LSTM,with stronger feature extraction capability and can score the reliability of the device by periodically analyzing the traffic behavior and activity logs generated by the terminal device,and the trust evaluation of the terminal’s continuous behavior can be achieved by combining the scores of different periods.After experiments,it is proved that TCL can effectively use the traffic behaviors and activity logs of terminal devices for trust evaluation and achieves F1-score of 95.763,94.456,99.923,and 99.195 on HDFS,BGL,N-BaIoT,and KDD99 datasets,respectively,and the size of TCL is only 91KB,which can achieve similar or better performance than CNN-LSTM,RobustLog and other methods with less computational resources and storage space.

文摘We report a theoretical investigation into superconductivity within the MAXH_(6) quaternary hydride system using first-principles calculations,where M and A denote alkali and alkaline earth elements,respectively,and X represents transition metal elements.Systematic analysis of electronic band structures,phonon dispersions,and electron-phonon coupling reveals that substitution of MA binary metal combinations and X metal atoms can create favorable conditions for superconductivity.Mapping of superconducting critical temperatures,combined with dynamical stability analysis through phonon calculations,identifies ten superconducting candidates at ambient pressure.Among these,LiNaAgH_(6) exhibits nearly-free-electron behavior reminiscent of monovalent electron superconductors.It demonstrates exceptional superconducting properties with electron–phonon coupling λ=2.707,which yields a superconducting transition temperature T_(c) of 206.4 K using the Allen–Dynes formula.Its structural analogs MgNaPdH_(6),LiMgPdH_(6),LiMgAgH_(6),LiMgAuH_(6) all exhibit superconducting transition temperatures above 110 K.These findings advance our fundamental understanding of superconductivity in quaternary hydrides and provide guidance for rational design of new high-temperature superconducting materials.

文摘Attribute-Based Encryption(ABE)has emerged as a fundamental access control mechanism in data sharing,enabling data owners to define flexible access policies.A critical aspect of ABE is key revocation,which plays a pivotal role in maintaining security.However,existing key revocation mechanisms face two major challenges:(1)High overhead due to ciphertext and key updates,primarily stemming from the reliance on revocation lists during attribute revocation,which increases computation and communication costs.(2)Limited universality,as many attribute revocation mechanisms are tailored to specific ABE constructions,restricting their broader applicability.To address these challenges,we propose LUAR(Lightweight and Universal Attribute Revocation),a novel revocation mechanism that leverages Intel Software Guard Extensions(SGX)while minimizing its inherent limitations.Given SGX’s constrained memory(≈90 MB in a personal computer)and susceptibility to side-channel attacks,we carefully manage its usage to reduce reliance while mitigating potential collusion risks between cloud service providers and users.To evaluate LUAR’s lightweight and universality,we integrate it with the classic BSW07 scheme,which can be seamlessly replaced with other ABE constructions.Experimental results demonstrate that LUAR enables secure attribute revocation with low computation and communication overhead.The processing time within the SGX environment remains stable at approximately 55 ms,regardless of the complexity of access policies,ensuring no additional storage or computational burden on SGX.Compared to the Hardware-based Revocable Attribute-Based Encryption(HR-ABE)scheme(IEEE S&P 2024),LUAR incurs a slightly higher computational cost within SGX;however,the overall time from initiating a data request to obtaining plaintext is shorter.As access policies grow more complex,LUAR’s advantages become increasingly evident,showcasing its superior efficiency and broader applicability.
