The combination of aggregation,ARQ, QoS guarantee and mapping of Application flows in Very High Throughput 802.11ac networks

We investigate the performance of the IEEE 802.11ac MAC layer Aggregation schemes in light of QoS guarantee with the use of an ARQ protocol, and in very high PHY rates. The investigation is done in different models of mapping Application flows into Traffic Streams and Access Categories. We show that when the IEEE 802.11ac ARQ protocol is used with relatively high bit error rates, it is not effective to use the full aggregation capability. Second, we show that there is not one best model of mapping Application flows into Traffic Streams and Access Categories. In particular, using two Access Categories is sometimes less efficient than using one.     

On the use of frequency-domain cross-layer diversity techniques to cope with lost packets

The Quality of Service (QoS) requirements for modern broadband wireless systems can be very high, with small error rates and delays. To preclude significant degradation on the spectral efficiency, these systems also require high throughputs. Lost packets, either due to errors or collisions, are usually discarded and need to be retransmitted, leading to performance degradation. An efficient alternative to simple retransmissions is to combine the signals associated to different transmission attempts.This paper analyses two time diversity approaches to cope with lost packets that are relatively similar at physical layer but treat different packet loss causes: a low-complexity diversity combining ARQ scheme (Automatic Repeat reQuest) employed in a TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) architecture; and a Network Diversity Multiple Access (NDMA), which is a multi-packet reception approach able to separate multiple mobile terminals transmitting simultaneously in one slot using temporal diversity. This paper combines the use of these techniques in Single Carrier Frequency Domain Equalization (SC-FDE) systems, which are widely recognized as the best candidates for the uplink of future broadband wireless systems. It aims to present a comparison among the approaches focusing on error rate, throughput and delay performances, not discarding the implementation complexity issues.     

Multiple temperature model for the information preservation method and its application to nonequilibrium gas flows

The information preservation (IP) method has been successfully applied to various nonequilibrium gas flows. Comparing with the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method, the IP method dramatically reduces the statistical scatter by preserving collective information of simulation molecules. In this paper, a multiple temperature model is proposed to extend the IP method to strongly translational nonequilibrium gas flows. The governing equations for the IP quantities have been derived from the Boltzmann equation based on an assumption that each simulation molecule represents a Gaussian distribution function with a second-order temperature tensor. According to the governing equations, the implementation of IP method is divided into three steps: molecular movement, molecular collision, and update step. With a reasonable multiple temperature collision model and the flux splitting method in the update step, the transport of IP quantities can be accurately modeled. We apply the IP method with the multiple temperature model to shear-driven Couette flow, external force-driven Poiseuille flow and thermal creep flow, respectively. In the former two cases, the separation of different temperature components is clearly observed in the transition regime, and the velocity, temperature and pressure distributions are also well captured. The thermal creep flow, resulting from the presence of temperature gradients along boundary walls, is properly simulated. All of the IP results compare well with the corresponding DSMC results, whereas the IP method uses much smaller sampling sizes than the DSMC method. This paper shows that the IP method with the multiple temperature model is an accurate and efficient tool to simulate strongly translational nonequilibrium gas flows.     

Various flows of black and grey particles produced in Mg-emulsion collisions at 4.5 A GeV/c

Various flow phenomena of black particles(b-particles)and grey particles(g-particles)produced in magnesium-emulsion(Mg-Em)collisions at 4.5 A GeV/c are reported.These flows are directed and elliptic transverse flows(vl and v2)related by the azimuthal angle((φ)),directed and elliptic reaction plane flows(vR1 and vR2)related by the projected angle(ψ)on the reaction plane,and directed and elliptic polar direction flows(vp1 and vp2)related by the polar angle((υ)).We extract absolute flows as the direct experimental values minus the isotropic theoretical values.The dependence of the various flows on the target particle multiplicity and on the angles((υ,φ,ψ))is investigated.Our results show that the dependence of b-particle flows on the target size is obvious and for heavy targets the dependence on target particle multiplicity is slight.Compared with b-particles,g-particles have a slight dependence on the target size and target particle multiplicity.

Particle swarm optimization based network selection in heterogeneous wireless environment

Deployment of heterogeneous wireless networks is spreading throughout the world as users want to be connected anytime, anywhere, and anyhow. Meanwhile, users are increasingly interested in multimedia applications such as audio, video streaming and Voice over IP (VoIP), which require strict Quality of Service (QoS) support. Provisioning of Always Best Connected (ABC) network with such constraints is a challenging task. Considering the availability of various access technologies, it is difficult for a network operator to find reliable criteria to select the best network that ensures user satisfaction while reducing multiple network selection. Designing an efficient Network selection algorithm, in this type of environment, is an important research problem. In this paper, we propose a novel network selection algorithm utilizing signal strength, available bit rate, signal to noise ratio, achievable throughput, bit error rate and outage probability metrics as criteria for network selection. The selection metrics are combined with PSO for relative dynamic weight optimization. The proposed algorithm is implemented in a typical heterogeneous environment of EDGE (2.5G) and UMTS (3G). Switching rate of the user between available networks has been used as the performance metric. Moreover, a utility function is used to maintain desired QoS during transition between networks, which is measured in terms of the throughput. It is shown here that PSO based approach yields optimal network selection in heterogeneous wireless environment.     

Total angular momentum and reaction plane in collisions of high-energy particles

The reaction plane is an efficient tool for studying nucleus-nucleus collisions and other particle interactions. In order to determine it in those cases, use is made of model (hydrodynamic) concepts of the relationship between the impact parameter and collective flows of particles. It is shown that there is a direct possibility for reconstructing, in a model-independent way, the orientation of the plane in which particle collisions in reactions occur. The idea of the method is based on the relationship between experimentally measured quantities and the total angular momentum of the system of particles involved in the collision process. The concept of the reaction plane is defined for the case of multiparticle-production processes; it is shown that a normal to it is aligned with the total angular momentum. This circumstance ultimately leads to the interplay of particle azimuthal angles. This effect is interpreted in the literature as a manifestation of a collective production of particle flows in nuclear collisions.     

Bandwidth allocation in cooperative wireless networks: Buffer load analysis and fairness evaluation

In modern cooperative wireless networks, the resource allocation is an issue of major significance. The cooperation of source and relay nodes in wireless networks towards improved performance and robustness requires the application of an efficient bandwidth sharing policy. Moreover, user requirements for multimedia content over wireless links necessitate the support of advanced Quality of Service (QoS) features. In this paper, a novel bandwidth allocation technique for cooperative wireless networks is proposed, which is able to satisfy the increased QoS requirements of network users taking into account both traffic priority and packet buffer load. The performance of the proposed scheme is examined by analyzing the impact of buffer load on bandwidth allocation. Moreover, fairness performance in resource sharing is also studied. The results obtained for the cooperative network scenario employed, are validated by simulations. Evidently, the improved performance achieved by the proposed technique indicates that it can be employed for efficient traffic differentiation. The flexible design architecture of the proposed technique indicates its capability to be integrated into Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols for cooperative wireless networks.

Enhancement in Quality-of-Services using 5G cellular network using resource reservation protocol

Mobile verbal exchange is viewed as one of the essential problem in the area of cellular networks. A mobile community apparatuses the proper public model to contribute packet of the data services on excessive speed. The packets of data service model are mandatory to improve the quality of service (QoS). This lookup exertion offers the Improvement of QoS and radio get right of entry to 5G Mobile Networks. Towards improve built-in services, a useful resource allocation protocol is applied at “Radio Access Network (RAN)” layer to improve the QoS in 5G. QoS labeling is a form of organizational communication that enables a local hub or exit station to communicate with or signal its neighbors to request special adjusting to of favorable traffic. QoS highlighting is helpful to provide ways for site visitors to adjust. ISP perform well and show full potential of the pervasive network by utilizing the simulation model in 5G’s ultra-low latency, real-time connectivity, significantly increased capacity, and quick speed. This will help to make device connections faster, more efficient, and less prone to delays. Lower, medium, and high frequency bands can be used to categories 5G. Mid-bandwidth enables better cell broadband connections or greater machine-to-machine communication and provides faster connectivity than 4G at close range.     

Deployment and trajectory design of fixed-wing UAVs in NOMA assisted wireless networks

This paper proposes a deployment and trajectory scheme for fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) deployed as flying base stations in multi-UAV enabled non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) downlink communication. Specifically, the deployment of UAVs and power allocation of users are jointly optimized to maximize the sum-rate. Thereafter, the energy efficiency maximization problem is formulated to optimize the trajectory of UAVs by jointly considering the quality of service (QoS) requirement of users, various flight constraints, limited on-board energy, and users’ mobility. Initially, the existing users are divided into clusters by k-means clustering, where each cluster is served by a single UAV. Then, the clusters are further divided into multiple sub-clusters, each having a pair of near and far users. Orthogonal multiple access (OMA) is applied among sub-clusters and NOMA is applied to intra sub-cluster users. Lastly, the Balanced-grey wolf optimization (B-GWO) algorithm is proposed for solving the non-convex optimization problems. Simulation results prove the superiority of the B-GWO based deployment and trajectory algorithms compared to the benchmarks. In addition, the proposed B-GWO based trajectory algorithm achieves a near-optimal performance with an optimality gap of less than 1.5% compared to the exhaustive search.     

System size in relativistic heavy ion collisions

System size is more than a geometrical quantity in relativistic heavy ion collisions; it is closely related to evolution process,i.e.a different system size corresponds to a different evolution process,and whether QGP is produced depends on the system size.We propose that the system size should be under the same level when comparing the measurements from different colliding nuclei.The equivalence of the peripheral collisions of Au-Au and the central collisions of smaller nuclei is studied using the Monte Carlo method.Comparing the transverse overlapping area of the colliding nuclei,the number of participant nucleons and the number of nucleon-nucleon binary collisions in various colliding nuclei,we give an estimate of the correspondence in system size.This is helpful in the experimental comparison of the measurements from different colliding nuclei.     

Constraints for the nuclear sea quark distributions from the Drell–Yan process at the SPS

Nuclear modifications to the Drell–Yan dilepton production cross sections in and collisions in the leading twist approximation are caused by nuclear effects in the parton distributions of bound nucleons. For non-isoscalar nuclei, isospin corrections must also be considered. We calculate these effects for and Pb+Pb collisions at CERN SPS energies. Our goal is to place constraints on nuclear effects in sea quark distributions in the region . We show that the net nuclear corrections remain small for collisions at GeV. However, in collisions at GeV, effects of are predicted at large M. The data collected by the NA50 collaboration could thus be used to constrain the nuclear effects in the sea quark distributions in the region of the EMC effect, .

Analysis of the O° proton spectrum fromd+p collisions at 9 GeV/c

The O° proton spectrum from d+p collisions at 9 GeV/c is described using the impulse approximation and a conventional deuteron wave function without six-quark admixture. It turnes out that the phase space constraints of the various inelastic channels strongly influence the high-momentum part of the spectrum and are decisive for the correct reproduction of the spectrum.     

Two-pion interferometry in heavy ion collisions at HIRFL-CSR energy

We examine the two-pion Hanbury-Brown-Twiss (HBT) interferometry for the particle-emitting source produced in heavy ion collisions at HIRFL-CSR energy. The source evolution is described by relativistic hydrodynamics with three kinds of equations of state for chemical equilibrium (CE), chemical freeze-out (CFO), and partial chemical equilibrium (PCE) models, respectively. We investigate the effects of particle decay, multiple scattering, and source collective expansion on the two-pion interferometry results. We find that the HBT radii of the evolution source for the CFO and PCE models are smaller than that for the CE model. The HBT lifetime for the CFO model is smaller than those for the PCE and CE models. The particle decay increases the HBT radius and lifetime while the source     

Impact parameter dependence of the scaling of anisotropic flows in intermediate energy heavy-ion collisions

The scaling behaviors of anisotropic flows of light charged particles are studied for 25 MeV/u40Ca+40Ca collisions at different impact parameters by the isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics model.The nucleonnumber scaling of elliptic flow exists and the scaling of the ratios of v4/v22and v3/(v1v2)is applicable to collisions at almost all impact parameters except for peripheral collisions.     

A noncooperative power control game in multi-access fading channels with quality of service (QoS) constraints

In this paper, a game-theoretic analysis for the resource allocation policies in fading multiple-access channels (MACs) in the presence of statistical quality of service (QoS) constraints in the form of limitations on the buffer length is performed. We employ effective capacity, which provides the maximum constant arrival rate that a given process can support while satisfying statistical buffer constraints, to measure the throughput for each user. We assume that the channel side information (CSI) is available at both the receiver and the transmitters, and the transmitters are selfish, rational with certain QoS and average power constraints. Without the aid of the receiver, we show that there is always a unique admissible Nash equilibrium of the noncooperative power control game, for which numerical results at low signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) have been provided. The Nash equilibrium of the power control game is proved to be always inside the rate region where successive decoding techniques are used at the receiver.     

Flavor-dependent photoproduction in heavy-ion collisions

Strong electromagnetic fields produced in the non-central heavy-ion collisions can induce vector meson photoproduction. In this paper, we study the photoproduction J/ψ and φ mesons in the relativistic heavy-ion collision from ultra-peripheral nuclear collisions to peripheral hadronic heavy ion collisions. And then include both initial hadronic production and thermal production in quark-gluon plasma (QGP). We find, for the charm anti-charm bound state J/ψ, the photoproduced J/ψs are mainly in the very low momentum region and clearly exceed the hadronic production. However, considering the thermal production of strange quark anti-quark pairs in QGP produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, the photoproduced φ is usually smaller than the thermal production and only evident at very peripheral collisions as even their photoproduction is much larger than J/ψ.     

Two-pion interferometry in heavy ion collisions at HIRFL-CSR energy

We examine the two-pion Hanbury-Brown-Twiss (HBT) interferometry for the particle-emitting source produced in heavy ion collisions at HIRFL-CSR energy. The source evolution is described by relativistic hydrodynamics with three kinds of equations of state for chemical equilibrium (CE), chemical freeze-out (CFO),and partial chemical equilibrium (PCE) models, respectively. We investigate the effects of particle decay,multiple scattering, and source collective expansion on the two-pion interferometry results. We find that the HBT radii of the evolution source for the CFO and PCE models are smaller than that for the CE model.The HBT lifetime for the CFO model is smaller than those for the PCE and CE models. The particle decay increases the HBT radius and lifetime while the source expansion decreases the HBT radius. The multiple scattering effect on the HBT results can be neglected based on our model calculations.     

An alternative model of jet suppression at RHIC energies

We propose a simple Glauber-type mechanism for the suppression of jet production up to transverse momenta of about 10 at RHIC. For processes in this kinematic region, the formation time is smaller than the interval between two successive hard partonic collisions and the subsequent collision influences the jet production. The number of jets then roughly scales with the number of participants. Proportionality to the number of binary collisions is reco vered for very high transverse momenta. The model predicts suppression of jet production in collisions at RHIC. Received: 20 January 2003 / Published online: 7 March 2003
