A QoS-based network planning method for power fiber to the home by Shuai SHAO, Zhijun SHANG, Zhongfeng WANG, Guoliang XIN, Yueyue LI, Xiangyu KONG, Xujing PENG

“…A QoS-based network planning method for power fiber to the home was proposed.Firstly,the distribution structure of different buildings was combined to carry out targeted ODN line path design.Secondly,in the ONU packet cluster planning stage,in order to meet the QoS requirements of multi-service differentiation,the communication cost as the optimization goal was uesd,and the optimization problem model was established with the constraints of access capacity,reliability and delay.At the same time,intelligent algorithms were used to solve the optimization problem model.Finally,the optical path attenuation of the planned network was calculated to meet the actual application needs.The simulation results show that the proposed QoS-based network planning method for power fiber to the home can save network construction cost while ensuring service reliability and delay requirements.…”

“…By clarifying the impact of different N fertilizer optimization practices on crop productivity and N loss, rational N fertilizer management strategies can be adopted to achieve stable crop yields and reduction in N application rates.MethodsOur study collected 476 peer-reviewed papers and used meta-analysis to analyze the impact of different N optimization management practices (combined application of organic-inorganic fertilizer, deep fertilization, and enhanced-efficiency fertilizer) on yield, N use efficiency, and N loss (N2O emissions, NH3 volatilization, N runoff, and N leaching).ResultsOptimized N management led to a 5%-10% increase in yield, a 17%-21% improvement in N use efficiency, and reductions in N2O (10%-37%), NH3 (7%-40%), N runoff (9%-20%), and N leaching (7%-10%) compared to standard farmer management practices.ConclusionTwice fertilization, the combination of organic and inorganic fertilizers, and the appropriate application of enhanced-efficiency fertilizer could improve rice yield, decrease N losses and ensure food security and improve the sustainable agricultural development.…”
