Enhanced crosstalk tolerance in RSOA based WDM-PONs by using coded RZ modulation

A centralized seeding source based loopback WDM-PON is fundamentally limited by Rayleigh backscattering (RB) noise. Here a novel modulation format, called as Coded RZ (CoRZ), is proposed to enhance the system performance in the presence of RB for RSOA based reflective access networks. The result shows that the proposed technique can be effectively improved the tolerance of signal-to-crosstalk ratio (SCR) by about 8 dB and 2.5 dB from conventional NRZ and RZ modulation formats respectively to maintain power penalty ≤ 2 dB.     

Self-calibration of multi-camera networks without feature correspondence between different cameras

An automatic calibration approach for multi-camera networks is proposed to calibrate the intrinsic parameters of each camera and the extrinsic parameters between different cameras. Firstly, the moving objects are tracking, and the feature points are detected and calculated by a matching method from image sequences. And then we estimate the intrinsic parameters of each camera respectively by a self-calibration method from the motion of feature points, while estimating the rotation and translation of each camera with respect to the object. Thirdly, we estimate the extrinsic parameters between different cameras from the rotation and the motion of each camera with respect to the object. Our method only needs to track the motion of objects in each camera without the correspondence between different cameras. It avoids the difficulty of the correspondence between different cameras in real networks. Experiments with simulated data and real images are carried out to verify the theoretical correctness and numerical robustness.

Ultra-High-Capacity Passive Optical Network Systems with Free-Space Optical Communications

Abstract

This article experimentally demonstrates a hybrid fiber–free-space passive optical network that enables high spectral density, aggregated capacity, and total throughput through ultra-dense wavelength-division multiplexing baseband and radio-over-fiber channels. Ultra-dense wavelength-division multiplexing 10-Gb/s Nyquist-shaped 16-ary quadrature amplitude modulation, 10-Gb/s radio-over-fiber orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing, and 8.75-Gb/s baseband orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing signals per user were transmitted through a maximum 40-km passive optical network, which includes a 6-m free-space optics link with acceptable performance.     

Analyzing topological characteristics of neuronal functional networks in the rat brain

In this study, we recorded spike trains from brain cortical neurons of several behavioral rats in vivo by using multi-electrode recordings. An NFN was constructed in each trial, obtaining a total of 150 NFNs in this study. The topological characteristics of NFNs were analyzed by using the two most important characteristics of complex networks, namely, small-world structure and community structure. We found that the small-world properties exist in different NFNs constructed in this study. Modular function Q was used to determine the existence of community structure in NFNs, through which we found that community-structure characteristics, which are related to recorded spike train data sets, are more evident in the Y-maze task than in the DM-GM task. Our results can also be used to analyze further the relationship between small-world characteristics and the cognitive behavioral responses of rats.     

Epidemic spreading on weighted complex networks

Nowadays, the emergence of online services provides various multi-relation information to support the comprehensive understanding of the epidemic spreading process. In this Letter, we consider the edge weights to represent such multi-role relations. In addition, we perform detailed analysis of two representative metrics, outbreak threshold and epidemic prevalence, on SIS and SIR models. Both theoretical and simulation results find good agreements with each other. Furthermore, experiments show that, on fully mixed networks, the weight distribution on edges would not affect the epidemic results once the average weight of whole network is fixed. This work may shed some light on the in-depth understanding of epidemic spreading on multi-relation and weighted networks.     

Identifying missing and spurious connections via the bi-directional diffusion on bipartite networks

Link prediction and spurious link detection in complex networks have attracted increasing attention from both physical and computer science communities, due to their wide applications in many real systems. Related previous works mainly focus on monopartite networks while these problems in bipartite networks are not yet systematically addressed. Containing two different kinds of nodes, bipartite networks are essentially different from monopartite networks, especially in node similarity calculation: the similarity between nodes of different kinds (called inter-similarity) is not well defined. In this letter, we employ the local diffusion processes to measure the inter-similarity in bipartite networks. We find that the inter-similarity is asymmetric if the diffusion is applied in different directions. Accordingly, we propose a bi-directional hybrid diffusion method which is shown to achieve higher accuracy than the existing diffusion methods in identifying missing and spurious links in bipartite networks.

针对多跳认知无线电网络的多层资源分配问题,提出了协作去耦合方法和跨层联合方法,协作去耦合方法首先单独完成路径选择任务,随后进行信道与功率的博弈分配;跨层联合方法则通过博弈直接对路径、信道、功率三层资源进行同时分配,两种方法都综合考虑网络层、介质访问控制层、物理层的启发原则,引入了节点被干扰度信息和节点主动干扰度信息来辅助路径选择,设计了基于功率允许宽度信息的Boltzmann探索来完成信道与功率选择,设计了长链路和瓶颈链路替换消除机制以进一步提高网络性能,从促进收敛角度,选择序贯博弈并设计了具体的博弈过程,此外还分析了博弈的纳什均衡,讨论了两种算法的复杂度,仿真结果表明,协作去耦合方法和跨层联合方法在成功流数量、流可达速率、发射功耗性能指标上均优于简单去耦合的链路博弈、流博弈方法。
