Distributed congestion control strategy using network utility maximization theory in VANET by Guozhen TAN, Guodong HAN, Fuxin ZHANG, Nan DING, Mingjian LIU

“…Cooperative vehicle safety system (CVSS) rely on periodical beacons to track neighboring vehicles.High traffic density often causes channel congestion,seriously damaging the performance of CVSS.Existing congestion control strategies aim to ensure the performance in network layer,without considering the service requirements of vehicles in different driving contexts.To solve the problem,a distributed congestion control strategy using network utility maximization (NUM) theory was proposed.First of all,the NUM model for channel resource allocation was introduced.A utility function reflecting vehicle’s safety requirements was proposed in the model.Then under the condition of fixed transmit powers,a optimization problem of channel resource allocation was proposed.Lastly,to solve the optimization problem,a distributed congestion control algorithm named utility-based rate congestion control (UBRCC) algorithm was designed,the algorithm worked out the optimal beaconing rate by updating vehicle’s congestion price,realizing the resource allocation according to vehicle’s safety requirements.Simulation results validate that UBRCC algorithm can efficiently control channel congestion,reduce transmission delay,ensure reliable data transmission and satisfies the requirements of safety applications.…”

Creep failure characteristics and damage creep model of red layer soft rock based on Perzyna viscoplastic theory by Lei Chen, Jinchi Han, Shuguang Zhang, Jiaxu Jin, Baoxin Jia, Jiashun Liu, Jupeng Tang

“…The results show that: (1) The model curves in this paper fit well with the test data, indicating that Weibull distribution function is feasible to describe rock creep damage, and the accuracy and rationality of the model in this paper are verified. (2) Based on Perzyna viscoplastic theory, a more accurate viscoplastic strain expression was established to describe accelerated creep. (3) By defining the critical point damage variables of different creep stages, the relationship between rock creep deformation and damage can be better reflected, which makes up the shortcoming that Nishihara model cannot describe accelerated creep, and enriches the creep constitutive theory of rock materials.…”
