Lightweight opportunistic routing forwarding strategy based on Markov chain by Feng LI, Ya-li SI, Zhen CHEN, Li-min SHEN

“…A lightweight opportunistic routing forwarding strategy (MOR) was proposed based on Markov chain.In the scheme,the execute process of network was divided into a plurality of equal time period,and the random encounter state of node in each time period was represented by activity degree.The state sequence of a plurality of continuous time period constitutes a discrete Markov chain.The activity degree of encounter node was estimated by Markov model to predict its state of future time period,which can enhance the accuracy of activity degree estimation.Then,the method of comprehensive evaluating forwarding utility was designed based on the activity degree of node and the average encounter interval.MOR used the utility of node for making a routing forwarding decision.Each node only maintained a state of last time period and a state transition probability matrix,and a vector recording the average encounter interval of nodes.So,the routing forwarding decision algorithm was simple and efficient,low time and space complexity.Furthermore,the method was proposed to set optimal number of the message copy based on multiple factors,which can effectively balance the utilization of network resources.Results show that compared with existing algorithms,MOR algorithm can effectively increase the delivery ratio and reduce the delivery delay,and lower routing overhead ratio.…”

Research on axle load transfer of low-medium speed maglev tractor by LUO Jianli

“…The results of axle load transfer based on dynamic method show that: the higher the traction point height is, the lower the adhesion availability of maglev tractor, and this trend is more obvious when the height of traction point is higher than that of couplers; the longitudinal partial load of car body has a great influence on adhesion availability and the best control range is less than or equal to 0.1 m; the arrangement of primary suspension system shall adopt the suspension with symmetrical axle box spring arrangement or the rotating arm positioning suspension system with consistent orientation; The vertical stiffness of suspension system of maglev tractor has little effect on adhesion availability.…”
