A distributed adaptive guard channel reservation scheme for cellular networks

In this paper, a distributed adaptive guard channel reservation (DAGCR) scheme is proposed to give priority to handoff calls. This scheme is built upon the concept of guard channels and it uses an adaptive algorithm to search automatically the optimal number of guard channels to be reserved at each base station. The quality‐of‐service (QoS) parameters used are the new and handoff call blockings. Simulation studies are performed to compare the present algorithm with the static guard channel policy. Simulation results show that this proposed algorithm guarantees the handoff call blocking probability to remain below the targeted threshold up to a substantially high offered load with a minimal blocking to new calls up to a moderate offered load and also shows significantly high channel utilization in all offered load conditions. This scheme is examined over a wide range of offered load. Thus, it seems the proposed scheme is very useful in controlling the blocking performances in wireless cellular networks.

Processing optimization: A way to improve the ionic conductivity and dielectric loss of electroactive polymers

Electro‐active polymers (EAPs) such as P(VDF‐TrFE‐CTFE) are greatly promising in the field of flexible sensors and actuators, but their low dielectric strength driven by ionic conductivity is a main concern for achieving high electrostrictive performance. It is well known that there is a quadratic dependence of the strain response and mechanical energy density on the applied electric field. This dependence highlights the importance of improving the electrical breakdown EAPs while reducing the dielectric losses. This article demonstrates that it is possible to dramatically increase the electrical breakdown and decrease the dielectric losses by controlling processing parameters of the polymer synthesis and fabrication procedure. As a result, an enhancement of around 70% is achieved in both the strain and blocking force. The effects on the dielectric losses of the polymer crystallinity, molecular weight, solvent purity, and crystallization temperature are also investigated. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.

基于多载波的宽带无线接入策略的研究

呼叫接入控制是无线通信中保证用户服务质量的关键技术之一。本文提出了一种在多业务环境下,基于多载波通信的优先强占接入策略:当剩余无线资源不能接纳实时业务的呼叫时,实时业务呼叫强占部分非实时业务占用的子载波来保证实时业务的接入,与此同时增加了非实时业务的传输时延。本文通过二维Markov链模型对系统进行了建模和性能参数(呼叫阻塞概率及系统频带利用率)的求解。通过与保护信道策略和无优先策略的比较可以看到:优先强占策略将接入控制和服务质量保证有机地结合在一起,既保证了用户的QoS,又大大降低了系统中的实时业务用户的呼叫阻塞概率,提高了系统资源的利用率。     

Characteristics of blocking voltage for power 4H-SiC BJTs with mesa edge termination

According to the avalanche ionization theory,a computer-based analysis is performed to analyze the structural parameters of single-and multiple-zone junction termination extension (JTE) structures for 4H-SiC bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) with mesa structure.The calculation results show that a single-zone JTE can yield high breakdown voltages if the activated JTE dose and the implantation width are controlled precisely and a multiple-zone JTE method can decrease the peak surface field while still maintaining a high blocking capability.The influences of the positive and negative surface or interface states on the blocking capability are also shown.These conclusions have a realistic meaning in optimizing the design of a mesa power device.

Managing uncertainty in call centres using Poisson mixtures

We model a call centre as a queueing model with Poisson arrivals having an unknown varying arrival rate. We show how to compute prediction intervals for the arrival rate, and use the Erlang formula for the waiting time to compute the consequences for the occupancy level of the call centre. We compare it to the current practice of using a point estimate of the arrival rate (assumed constant) as forecast. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Geographical Reservation for Guaranteed Handover and Routing in Low Earth Orbit Constellations

In this paper, we address the problem of permanent guaranteed routing through a LEO satellite constellation with inter-satellite links. A reduction to a geometric problem of intersection of rectangles is given, along with algorithmic issues. We express the problem on a very simple model, and discuss the extension to more complicated schemes. We present some experimental results based on this framework that demonstrate the efficiency of the method in a call admission control process.     

Scalable Schemes for Call Admission and Handover in Cellular Networks with Multiple Services

The introduction of new service categories withdifferent bandwidth requirements, e.g., data and multimedia, to cellularmobile radio networks makes many of the traditional mechanisms for controlingtraffic unusable orless efficient. The call admission and the handover handling are of the mostsensitive issues in this extension to new services. The performance of allservices includingthe traditional voice and the new services can be dramatically affected ifappropriate schemes are not used. In this paper, we propose call admission andhandover handling schemes for a cellular mobile network that offers twoservice types: voice and data. The data connections are assumed to transmitatdifferent transmission rates that are integer multiples to that of one radiochannel. In the case of congestion, the base station asks the active dataconnections to reduce their transmission rate in order to provide freechannels for the newly arrived request of both service types. This isbasically intended for incoming handover requests. The request will berejected if the transmission rate of the active connections reaches a givenminimum rate. Similar mechanism can also be used for new call arrivals, butsome priority can be given to handovers by setting a higher transmission ratethreshold for the new call rejection. As an extension to the proposedscalability, aqueuing of new calls is also proposed and analyzed. Analytical models werebuilt for the two proposed schemes together with the traditional channelreservation scheme. The effect of different traffic and configurationparameters on the performance measures like the grade of service, blockingprobabilities, and utilization, are studied using the proposed technique.Results show that the proposed schemes provide very good performance and morefairness among the different service types.     

Wavelength Conversion Placement in WDM Mesh Optical Networks*

Wavelength conversion helps improve the performance of wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) optical networks that employ wavelength routing. In this paper, we address the problem of optimally placing a limited number of wavelength converters in mesh topologies. Two objective functions, namely, minimizing the average blocking probability and minimizing the maximum blocking probability over all routes, are considered. In the first part of the paper, we extend an earlier analytical model to compute the blocking probability on an arbitrary route in a mesh topology, given the traffic and locations of converters. We then propose heuristic algorithms to place wavelength converters, and evaluate the performance of the proposed heuristics using the analytical model. Results suggest that simple heuristics are sufficient to give near-optimal performance.
