A method of relaying the transverse profile of a laser beam and its application to holography

The holography of engineering plant where only restricted access is available requires a method of piping the pulsed laser beam to a compact, remote head. Because amplifier distortions which occur in pulsed lasers result in far field beam break-up, it is not possible to simply collimate the beam as normally possible with a continuous wave laser. A possible way to transmit the pulsed laser beam is by an optical relay which repeatedly images the output until the launching point is reached.

The use of a relay system to transmit the pulsed laser output 20 m has been demonstrated in the laboratory. Holograms taken at the output of the relay showed a resolution of 18l.p. mm^-1, the same as that achieved when a hologram was taken by expanding the beam immediately at the laser output.     

Splitting algorithm for DMT optimal cooperative MAC protocols in wireless mesh networks

A cooperative protocol for wireless mesh networks is proposed in this paper. The protocol implements both on-demand relaying and a selection of the best relay terminal so only one terminal is relaying the source message when cooperation is needed. Two additional features are also proposed. The best relay is selected with a splitting algorithm. This approach allows fast relay selection within less than three time-slots, on average. Moreover, a pre-selection of relay candidates is performed prior to the splitting algorithm. Only terminals that are able to improve the direct path are pre-selected. So efficient cooperation is now guaranteed. We prove that this approach is optimal in terms of diversity-multiplexing trade-off. The protocol has been designed in the context of Nakagami-m fading channels. Simulation results show that the performance of the splitting algorithm does not depend on channel statistics.     

Relay propagation of partially coherent flattened Gaussian beam in turbulent atmosphere

Relay propagation of partially coherent flattened Gaussian–Schell beam in turbulent atmosphere has been studied. The analytical expresses of average intensity distribution at target are derived. The effects of spatial correlation length of initial and relay beam on the average intensity are analyzed in details. Study shows that the effects of the variation of spatial correlation length of relay beam are much larger than that of initial beam. The effects of spatial correlation length on relay propagation become smaller and smaller with the increase of structure constant. When the spatial correlation length is large and turbulence is strong, the effects of the variation of spatial correlation length on relay propagation are so small that can be neglected.     

Comparison between relay propagation and direct propagation of Gaussian-Schell-model beam in turbulent atmosphere along a slant path

The relay propagation of Gaussian-Schell-model in turbulent atmosphere along a slant path is studied in this paper. Based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle and a quadratic approximation, an analytical formula of average intensity for Gaussian-Schell-model beams in turbulent atmosphere along a slant path is derived, and some special cases are discussed. From the study and the comparison with the direct propagation, we can see that the relay propagation has an advantage over the direct propagation. When the altitude of the target is low, the peak intensity of relay propagation is much larger than that of direct propagation. However, because of the limitation of the relay system aperture for relay propagation and the variation of coherence length for direct propagation, the difference in peak intensity between the two propagations decreases with the increase of the target altitude.     

Light Pipe Line Beam Shaper

A light pipe based laser beam shaper is proposed as a low loss approach to transfer a Gaussian laser beam into a long line beam with uniform distribution along the line direction for the applications of illumination or material processing. A telecentric relay optics has been used for solving the radiometric issues in the wide angle optics. In addition, the length of the light pipe is used as a parameter for manipulating irradiance distribution at the outlet to compensate for the non-uniformity resulting from the partial reflection at the optical interface in the relay optics, so as to achieve a highly uniform line beam at the target plane. The proposed scheme provides an economical and versatile solution for the wide angle beam shaping problem.

Delay optimization and energy balancing algorithm for improving network lifetime in fixed wireless sensor networks

Since wireless in terms of energy-restricted processes, dispersion radii, processing power limitations, buffers, bandwidth-limited connections, active network topologies, and network stream of traffic outlines, sensor networks provide difficult design issues. The number of hops and latency are decreased if there is a relay mote because it interacts directly with relay motes that are closer to the destination mote. The tremendous intensive research in the area of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) has gained a lot of significance among the technical community and research. The job of WSN is to sense the data using sensor motes, pass on the data to the destination detection mote which is associated with a processing center and can be used in multiple spans of Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Wireless sensor network has a set of sensor motes. By making use of sensor mote placement strategy all the sensor motes are spread in an area with each mote having its own exceptional location. Internet of things applications are delay sensitive those applications have a challenge of forming the complete path at a lower delay constraint. The proposal is to modify the game theory energy balancing algorithm by making use of relay motes so that overall network lifetime is increased. It has been proved that modified GTEB is better with respect to existing algorithms in terms of delay, figure of hops, energy depletion, figure of alive motes, figure of dead motes, lifespan ratio, routing overhead and throughput.

Experimental study on beam shaping in a reduced-scale relay mirror system

Improving power coupling efficiency of beam uplink propagation in a relay mirror system is under extensive research in recent years. A typical model of the relay mirror system is established and theory of beam shaping used to improve power coupling efficiency of the relay mirror system is analyzed in detail. A reduced-scale experimental relay mirror system is founded, which has the same Fresnel number as uplink propagation in the relay mirror system with 1.0 m-caliber transmitter and 30?km propagation distance. Phase distribution of the source is optimized by using the stochastic parallel gradient descent algorithm. The experimental results showed that power coupling efficiency of uplink propagation in the reduced-scale relay mirror system was improved from 72.67 to 87.88 % by beam shaping and the bucket power proportion in 5 pixels at the target was improved from 45.49 to 52.78 %.     

Phase switching in Hindmarsh-Rose relay neurons

A system of Hindmarsh-Rose relay neurons with time delay coupling is considered in which the relay (central) neuron has an additional feedback term that represents the interaction activity with a local environment. The strength of environmental coupling with the central neuron plays an important role in inducing synchronization and de-synchronization between the outer neurons. The strength of feedback developed from the environmental coupling has created a gradual quenching in the oscillations of the central neuron. At a higher feedback coupling strength, oscillation of the central neuron is suppressed drastically and a transition from a regime of synchronization to out-of-phase synchronization take place between the oscillations of the two outer neurons.     

Relay selection scheme based on deep reinforcement learning in wireless sensor networks

Cooperative communication technology has realized the enhancement in the wireless communication system’s spectrum utilization rate without resorting to any additional equipment; additionally, it ensures system reliability in transmission, increasingly becoming a research focus within the sphere of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Since the selection of relay is crucial to cooperative communication technology, this paper proposes two different relay selection schemes subject to deep reinforcement learning (DRL), in response to the issues in WSNs with relay selection in cooperative communications, which can be summarized as the Deep-Q-Network Based Relay Selection Scheme (DQN-RSS), as well as the Proximal Policy Optimization Based Relay Selection Scheme (PPO-RSS); it further compared the commonly used Q-learning relay selection scheme (Q-RSS) with random relay selection scheme. First, the cooperative communication process in WSNs is modeled as a Markov decision process, and DRL algorithm is trained in accordance with the outage probability, as well as mutual information (MI). Under the condition of unknown instantaneous channel state information (CSI), the best relay is adaptively selected from multiple candidate relays. Thereafter, in view of the slow convergence speed of Q-RSS in high-dimensional state space, the DRL algorithm is used to accelerate the convergence. In particular, we employ DRL algorithm to deal with high-dimensional state space while speeding up learning. The experimental results reveal that under the same conditions, the random relay selection scheme always has the worst performance. And compared to Q-RSS, the two relay selection schemes designed in this paper greatly reduce the number of iterations and speed up the convergence speed, thereby reducing the computational complexity and overhead of the source node selecting the best relay strategy. In addition, the two relay selection schemes designed and raised in this paper are featured by lower-level outage probability with lower-level energy consumption and larger system capacity. In particular, PPO-RSS has higher reliability and practicability.

Synchronization scenarios of chimeras in multiplex networks

Complex networks consisting of several interacting layers allow for remote synchronization of distant layers via an intermediate relay layer. We extend the notion of relay synchronization to chimera states, and study the scenarios of relay synchronization in a three-layer network of FitzHugh–Nagumo (FHN) oscillators, where each layer has a nonlocal coupling topology. Varying the coupling strength and time delay in the inter-layer connections, we observe relay synchronization between chimera states, i.e., complex spatio-temporal patterns of coexisting coherent and incoherent domains, in the outer network layers. Special regimes where only the coherent domains of chimeras are synchronized, and the incoherent domains remain desynchronized, as well as transitions between different synchronization regimes are analyzed.     

Implementation of physical-layer network coding

This paper presents the first implementation of a two-way relay network based on the principle of physical-layer network coding (PNC). To date, only a simplified version of PNC, called analog network coding (ANC), has been successfully implemented. The advantage of ANC is that it is simple to implement; the disadvantage, on the other hand, is that the relay amplifies the noise along with the signal before forwarding the signal. PNC systems in which the relay performs XOR or other denoising PNC mappings of the received signal have the potential for significantly better performance. However, the implementation of such PNC systems poses many challenges. For example, the relay in a PNC system must be able to deal with symbol and carrier-phase asynchronies of the simultaneous signals received from multiple nodes, and the relay must perform channel estimation before detecting the signals. We investigate a PNC implementation in the frequency domain, referred to as FPNC, to tackle these challenges. FPNC is based on OFDM. In FPNC, XOR mapping is performed on the OFDM samples in each subcarrier rather than on the samples in the time domain. We implement FPNC on the universal soft radio peripheral (USRP) platform. Our implementation requires only moderate modifications of the packet preamble design of 802.11a/g OFDM PHY. With the help of the cyclic prefix (CP) in OFDM, symbol asynchrony and the multi-path fading effects can be dealt with simultaneously in a similar fashion. Our experimental results show that symbol-synchronous and symbol-asynchronous FPNC have essentially the same BER performance, for both channel-coded and non-channel-coded FPNC systems.

Loose contact detection using laser speckle

The detection of loose contacts in relays presents several problems. The contacts are small, < 2 mm diameter, and often difficult to obtain access to mechanically without interfering with the sensitive spring mechanism. As there are usually many contacts on a relay, mechanical and visual examination is time consuming. An optical probe system has been developed which has solved most of the difficulties inherent in more conventional inspection techniques.     

Secure Polar Coding for the Primitive Relay Wiretap Channel

With the emergence of wireless networks, cooperation for secrecy is recognized as an attractive way to establish secure communications. Departing from cryptographic techniques, secrecy can be provided by exploiting the wireless channel characteristics; that is, some error-correcting codes besides reliability have been shown to achieve information-theoretic security. In this paper, we propose a polar-coding-based technique for the primitive relay wiretap channel and show that this technique is suitable to provide information-theoretic security. Specifically, we integrate at the relay an additional functionality, which allows it to smartly decide whether it will cooperate or not based on the decoding detector result. In the case of cooperation, the relay operates in a decode-and-forward mode and assists the communication by transmitting a complementary message to the destination in order to correctly decode the initial source’s message. Otherwise, the communication is completed with direct transmission from source to the destination. Finally, we first prove that the proposed encoding scheme achieves weak secrecy, then, in order to overcome the obstacle of misaligned bits, we implement a double-chaining construction, which achieves strong secrecy.

Bridging Atomistic/Continuum Scales in Solids with Moving Dislocations

We propose a multiscale method for simulating solids with moving dislocations. Away from atomistic subdomains where the atomistic dynamics are fully resolved, a dislocation is represented by a localized jump profile, superposed on a defect-free field. We assign a thin relay zone around an atomistic subdomain to detect the dislocation profile and its propagation speed at a selected relay time. The detection technique utilizes a lattice time history integral treatment. After the relay, an atomistic computation is performed only for the defect-free field. The method allows one to effectively absorb the fine scale fluctuations and the dynamic dislocations at the interface between the atomistic and continuum domains. In the surrounding region, a coarse grid computation is adequate.
