Stability conditions for a pipeline polling scheme in satellite communications

This paper considers the unknown stability conditions of a pipeline polling scheme proposed for satellite communications. This scheme is modelled as a cyclic-service system with limited service and reservation. The walk times and the maximum number of services to be performed during each polling are dependent on the queue lengths of the stations. The main result is the derivation of the necessary and sufficient stability conditions of the system. Our approach is to map the multi-dimensional stability problem into many 1-dimensional stability problems through the concept of the least stable queue. The least stable queue is one that will become unstablefirst when the system load increases in some parameter region. The stability of the least stable queue thus implies stability of the system. The stability region for the whole system is then the union of the queue stability regions of all the least stable queues that are obtained through dominant systems and Loynes' theorem. We also propose a computable sufficient condition that is tighter than the existing result and present some numerical results.

移动Ad HOc网络中的公平按需多址接入协议

基于快速、有效竞争预约接入、无冲突轮询传输的思想和带冲突预防的冲突分解策略,本文提出了适于移动Ad Hoc网络的公平按需多址接入(FODA)协议.该协议在分群结构的基础上,利用公平冲突预防算法预约信道资源获得轮询服务,从而完全消除了载波侦听方式下多跳无线网络业务传输中的隐藏终端和暴露终端问题.另外,公平冲突预防算法解决了节点竞争接入时的冲突问题和不公平现象.最后,仿真结果表明,与带冲突避免的载波侦听多址接入(CSMA/CA)和轮询协议相比,FODA协议可以提供较高的信道吞吐量、较低的平均消息丢弃率和平均消息时延.

Polling systems in heavy traffic: Exhaustiveness of service policies

We study the expected delay in cyclic polling models with general ‘branching-type’ service disciplines. For this class of models, which contains models with exhaustive and gated service as special cases, we obtain closed-form expressions for the expected delay under standard heavy-traffic scalings. We identify a single parameter associated with the service discipline at each queue, which we call the ‘exhaustiveness’. We show that the scaled expected delay figures depend on the service policies at the queues only through the exhaustiveness of each of the service disciplines. This implies that the influence of different service disciplines, but with the same exhaustiveness, on the expected delays at the queues becomes the same when the system reaches saturation. This observation leads to a new classification of the service disciplines. In addition, we show monotonicity of the scaled expected delays with respect to the exhaustiveness of the service disciplines. This induces a complete ordering in terms of efficiency of the service disciplines. The results also lead to new rules for optimization of the system performance with respect to the service disciplines at the queues. Further, the exact asymptotic results suggest simple expected waiting-time approximations for polling models in heavy traffic. Numerical experiments show that the accuracy of the approximations is excellent for practical heavy-traffic scenarios.

Enzyme‐Responsive Silica Mesoporous Supports Capped with Azopyridinium Salts for Controlled Delivery Applications

The preparation of a new capped silica mesoporous material, Rh‐Azo‐S , for on‐command delivery applications in the presence of target enzymes is described. The material consists of nanometric mesoporous MCM‐41‐like supports loaded with Rhodamine B and capped with an azopyridine derivative. The material was designed to show “zero delivery” and to display a cargo release in the presence of reductases and esterases, which are usually present in the colon, mainly due to intestinal microflora. The opening and cargo release of Rh‐Azo‐S in vitro studies were assessed and seen to occur in the presence of these enzymes, whereas no delivery was noted in the presence of pepsine. Moreover, Rh‐Azo‐S nanoparticles were used to study controlled Rhodamine B dye delivery in intracellular media. HeLa cells were employed for testing the “non”‐toxicity of nanoparticles. Moreover, delivery of the dye in these cells, through internalization and enzyme‐mediated gate opening, was confirmed by confocal microscopy. Furthermore, the nanoparticles capped with the Azo group and loaded with a cytotoxic camptothecin ( CPT ) were also prepared (solid CPT‐Azo‐S ) and used as delivery nanodevices in HeLa cells. When this solid was employed, the cell viability decreased significantly due to internalization of the nanoparticles and delivery of the cytotoxic agent.

Analysis of Alternating-Priority Queueing Models with (Cross) Correlated Switchover Times

This paper analyzes a single server queueing system in which service is alternated between two queues and the server requires a (finite) switchover time to switch from one queue to the other. The distinction from classical results is that the sequence of switchover times from each of the queues need not be i.i.d. nor independent from each other; each sequence is merely required to form a stationary ergodic sequence. With the help of stochastic recursive equations explicit expressions are derived for a number of performance measures, most notably for the average delay of a customer and the average queue lengths under different service disciplines. With these expressions a comparison is made between the service disciplines and the influence of correlation is studied. Finally, through a number of examples it is shown that the correlation can significantly increase the mean delay and the average queue lengths indicating that the correlation between switchover times should not be ignored. This has important implications for communication systems in which a common communication channel is shared amongst various users and where the time between consecutive data transfers is correlated (for example in ad-hoc networks). In addition to this a number of notational mistakes in well-known existing literature are pointed out.

基于光强选通成像的液晶透过谱研究

为了更好地将液晶器件应用于选通成像系统中,从理论上推导出了液晶器件透过率与波长、折射率、电压之间的关系。从双折射率与光强的关系定量分析了扭曲向列相液晶的色散效应。用光栅光谱仪选择380～1100nm波段,以SONY公司LCX023CMT型号的TFT-LCD为样品,测试了液晶器件在不同灰度级和波长下的透射率。研究结果表明:液晶器件在可见光波段色散较小,随着灰度值的增加,色散增大;通过自制的光强局部选通成像系统对同一物体进行了对比拍摄,选通后的照片表明液晶器件的色散对成像质量影响不大;该液晶器件对红外光线有近12%的透过率,证明其可以实现近红外波段的强光局部选通成像。
