Adaptive random early detection algorithm based on network traffic level grade prediction by Debin WEI, Chengsheng PAN, Li YANG, Zuoren YAN

“…In view of the problem that the calculation of average queue length and maximum packet drop probability in random early detection algorithm and its variants reflect the changes of network traffic slowly, an adaptive random early detection algorithm based on network traffic level grade prediction was proposed.Based on the statistical characteristics of self-similar network traffic, the transition probability table of network traffic level grade was established, and a grade prediction method of self-similar network traffic level with low complexity and high accuracy was proposed.Furthermore, the prediction results were applied to calculate the average queue length in equal interval and adjust the maximum packet drop probability.Under the condition of fixed and variable bottleneck link capacity, it is found that regardless of the degree of self-similarity of network traffic, the proposed algorithm can improve the throughput and packet loss rate, especially when the Hurst parameter is large and the traffic is light.…”

Distributed Voronoi coverage algorithm in wireless sensor networks by XU Peng-fei1, CHEN Zhi-gang1, DENG Xiao-heng1

“…On the hypothesis conditions that wireless sensor networks only covered partial target region and the commu-nication radius was no less than twice of the sensing radius,a coverage-preserved and connected distributed Voronoi cov-erage algorithm was presented.Firstly,a method of detecting coverage redundancy sensors based on the local Voronoi re-gions was proposed,whose computational complexity was unconcerned with the density of sensors.Then,an en-ergy-prior self-scheduling strategy based on local Voronoi neighbors was proposed,where those sensors that were com-munication neighbors but not local Voronoi neighbors could synchronously execute self-scheduling,which improved the astringency of distributed scheduling.The simulation results show that the average number and coverage-degree of active sensors produced by the proposed algorithm are close to the centralized algorithm and smaller than the general distributed algorithm,while the proposed algorithm has more advantages in terms of active sensors’ average energy,scheduling as-tringency and runtime.…”

Potentials of antiviral therapy at patients with liver cirrhosis in an outcome of HCV-infection by E. N. Bessonova

“…The most significant factor of the positive response to AVT (even transient) was presence of non-1-st genotype of the virus C. Differences in average MELD indices in studied groups of patients at the moment of the investigation onset and after its termination show, that AVT allowed to maintain the degree of severity of cirrhosis at initial level without further progression, and in some cases at achievement of the positive response to antiviral treatment, to reach certain regression of disease.Conclusions. …”

Low error floor LT coding algorithm for unequal error protection by Xin SONG, Shuyan NI, Zhe ZHANG, Yurong LIAO, Tuofeng LEI

“…Conclusions: In this paper, a systematic unequal error protection LT coding scheme is designed, and a check degree distribution design model suitable for this scheme is constructed to solve the problem of high error floor existing in the conventional UEP-LT algorithm in the AWGN channel.The main idea of this scheme is to design fixed coding segments,rateless coding segments and systematic node segments and transmit them in sequence.The advantage of this scheme is that it can provide non-zero LLR information as early as possible for information nodes, and make the MIB and the LIB obtain different and flexibly adjustable average degrees.In addition,based on the extrinsic information transfer(EXIT)chart,the check degree distribution is designed for the fixed segment and the rateless segment,so that the MIB can obtain the optimal protection performance,and the convergence performance of the LIB can be improved as much as possible. …”
