Contention-Based Nonorthogonal Massive Access with Massive MIMO

The sporadic communication character of massive machine-type communication systems provides natural advantages to utilize the principle of compressive sensing(CS).However,due to the high computational complexity of CS algorithms,CS-based contention-free access schemes have limited scalability and high computational complexity for massive access with user-specific pilots.To address these problems,in this paper,we propose a new contention-based scheme for CSbased massive access,which can support the sporadic access of massive devices(more than one million devices)with limited resources.Furthermore,an advanced receiver algorithm is designed to solve the optimal solutions for the proposed scheme,which utilizes various prior information to enhance the performance.In specific,the joint sparsity between the channel and data is used to improve the accuracy of pilot detection,and the information of modulation and cyclic redundancy check is exploited for channel correction to improve the performance of data recovery.The simulation results show that the proposed scheme can achieve improved active user detection performance and data recovery accuracy than existing methods.

Modeling Impact of ROADM Intra-Node Add/Drop Contention on a Single Node Lightpath Blocking Performance

We propose an analytical model to evaluate the lightpath blocking performance for a single ROADM node with intra-node add/drop contention,in which the number of lightpaths that can be added/dropped with the same wavelength is limited by the add/drop contention factor.Different models of traffic load per nodal degree are considered to validate the effectiveness of the analytical model.The simulation results show that the proposed analytical model is effective in predicting the performance for different values of add/drop contention factor C and for variable offered loads at the node.The add/drop contention factor shows an important impact on the lightpath blocking performance and properly raising the contention factor can significantly improve the lightpath blocking performance.When the add/drop contention factor C exceeds a certain level,the performance of a ROADM with intra-node contention is close to that of a contentionless ROADM.

Eliminating Explicit Contention from Channel Access in Distributed Wireless Networks

Emerging techniques such as WiFi direct makes the objective of always-on be true. People can easily chat and share files with nearby friends even without AP(Access Point) or cellular coverage. In this paper, we focus on the channel efficiency issue of APfree Wi-Fi networks, which can be easily constructed in the subway, in a high-speed railway, or when camping in the wild. Today IEEE 802.11 DCF is the most commonly used MAC protocol for Wi-Fi networks, however, due to the control messages and backoff time, channel efficiency in high data rate networks can be extremely low. To solve this, we propose CD-MAC, which allows control messages to be transmitted with data packets concurrently, and thus eliminates the overheads of backoff and explicit contention. To maintain the reception reliability, we redesign the control messages and use signal detection in PHY instead of bits decoding to detect them. In MAC layer, CD-MAC is built upon our Correlation Detection based PHY. We have implemented and evaluated CD-MAC using USRP N210. Evaluation results show that CD-MAC can achieve over 95.5% channel efficiency and provide throughput gains of up to 80%, 60%, and 29.1% compared with DCF, 802.11 ec, and back2F, respectively.

Contention avoidance using dual-fuzzy assembly threshold algorithm in optical burst switching networks

To avoid burst contention efficiently,on the basis of feedback-based source flow-rate control(SFC) strategy,a novel fuzzy-control-based assembly algorithm,called dual-fuzzy assembly threshold(DFAT),is proposed in an optical burst switching network.In our algorithm,according to the variations of burst assembly period and the interarrival of burst control packet,the traffic states of edge-switching nodes and core-switching nodes are first obtained.Then,the assembly threshold of bursts is set dynamically in order to operate the source traffic management from the information of traffic states.The performance of DFAT algorithm on burst loss probability is evaluated,and simulation results show that,compared with conventional assembly algorithms,the proposed scheme can constrain the birth of burst contention efficiently,when being a heavy load state of network.

A contention-based efficient-information perception algorithm (CEiPA) for vehicular ad hoc networks

The problem of information dissemination is researched for vehicular ad-hoc networks （VANET） in this paper, and a contention-based effficient-information perception algorithm （CEiPA） is proposed. The idea of CEiPA is that beacons are delivered over VANET with limited lifetime and efficient information. CEiPA consists of two phases. The first one is initialization phase, during which the count timers Tcyce and Tlocal are set to start beacon delivery while Tcycle is also used to monitor and restart beaconing. The second one is beacon delivery phase. An elaborate distance function is employed to set contention delay for beacons of each vehicle. In this way beacons will be sent in order, which decreases the collision of beacons. Simulation results show that CEiPA enables each beacon to carry more efficient information and spread them over more vehicles with lower network overhead than the periodic beacon scheme. CEiPA is also flexible and scalable because the efficient information threshold it employs is a balance among the freshness of information, network overhead and perception area of a vehicle.

Performance of Random Contention PRMA: A Protocol for Fixed Wireless Access

This paper introduces a packet reservation multiple access (PRMA) with random contention for fixed wireless access communications. The performance of PRMA scheme with random contention is compared with the performances of traditional PRMA under permission contention scheme. The proposed scheme is a simpler contention mechanism that does not depend on a pre-determined permission probability as PRMA under permission contention scheme. In this new method, terminals select the contention slot uniformly from the pool of remaining free slots in the current frame. We evaluate the performance of the new contention mechanism in terms of various metrics including maximum number of carried voice calls and packet delays for a given acceptable drop rate of voice packets. We show that the new mechanism is superior to that of PRMA under permission contention scheme for loaded systems and is expected to be insensitive for traffic source burstiness.

A novel wavelength assignment scheme in OBS network for contention avoidance

Conventional optical burst switching(OBS)technique adopts purely statistical multiplex mechanismso that the bursts collide with each other very easily.To address this problem,a novel proactive con-tention avoidance scheme is proposed,which assigns dedicated wavelengths to each ingress node,then st-numbering algorithm is used to construct the traffic load balanced spanning trees .In this way,contentioncan be eliminated at ingress nodes,and the amount of bursts that could be accommodated by ingressnodes will be maximized.Further,those unused wavelengths left by traffic load balanced spanning treeare also organized as partial trees to carry bursts,thus the link utilization can be improved effectively.Simulation result shows that our scheme can improve the burst loss performance significantly without thewavelength converters or optical buffers comparing to other popular routing and wavelength assignment(RWA)algorithms.

A Novel Packet Switch Node Architecture for Contention Resolution in Synchronous Optical Packet Switched Networks

Packet contention is a key issue in optical packet switch (OPS) networks and finds a viable solution by including optical buffering techniques incorporating fiber delay lines (FDLs) in the switch architecture. The present paper proposes a novel switch architecture for packet contention resolution in synchronous OPS network employing the packet circulation in FDLs in a synchronized manner. A mathematical model for the proposed switch architecture is developed employing packet queuing control to estimate the blocking probability for the incoming traffic. The switch performance is analyzed with a suitable contention resolution al-gorithm through the computer simulation. The simulation results substantiate the proposed model for the switch architecture.

MAC Throughput Improvement Using Adaptive Contention Window

HomePlug AV (HPAV) is a standard developed by HomePlug Powerline Alliance (HPA) for power line communication. In HomePlug AV, it uses a technology named Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) to reduce collision happened in network. However, when network nodes increase, the contention window number may not be wide enough. It will cause collision probability to increase. In this paper, we introduce a new idea of adaptive contention window which will produce suitable contention window under actual network environment. Our method only requires the information of CSMA/CA parameters. It means that one doesn’t need to correct the original CSMA/CA procedure but substitutes old parameters by the new ones. Simulation experiments conducted in the network simulator NS3 show that compared with HomePlug AV, our method promotes throughput significantly when the node number increases.

Contention over the Post of UN Secretary General

United Nations Secretary General Kofi A. Annan is going to complete his second term of office by December 31 this year. Although the day is some time away, competition for the position of the next secretary general has unfolded within and outside the United Nations. Given the importance of the post which has a bearing on the orientation and future development of the organization, and due to the different approaches and policies taken by the parties concerned, there is bound to be a sharp contention among the various parties.

Full-feedback contention window adaption for IEEE 802.11 WLANs

Backoff mechanism is a key component of contention-based medium access control（MAC） layer protocol.It has been shown that the backoff mechanism of IEEE 802.11 standard may be very inefficient especially when the network is congested.Numbers of methods have been proposed to tune the contention window（CW） with the aim to achieve the optimal throughput in IEEE 802.11 WLANs.However,the mechanisms do not specifically address proper settings for the variable packet length influence and CW diverging problem.This paper proposes a novel four-way handshaking full-feedback backoff algorithm named adoptive contention window backoff（ACWB） to overcome these drawbacks.The performance of the proposed algorithm is investigated through analysis and simulation.Simulation results demonstrate that the ACWB algorithm provides a remarkable performance improvement in terms of short-term fairness,packet delay and delay jitter,while maintaining an optimal throughput close to the theoretical throughput limit of the IEEE 802.11 distributed coordination function（DCF） access scheme.

Kronos:towards bus contention-aware job scheduling in warehouse scale computers

While researchers have proposed many techniques to mitigate the contention on the shared cache and memory bandwidth, none of them has considered the memory bus contention due to split lock. Our study shows that the split lock may cause 9X longer data access latency without saturating the memory bandwidth. To minimize the impact of split lock, we propose Kronos, a runtime system composed of an online bus contention tolerance meter and a bus contention-aware job scheduler. The meter characterizes the tolerance of jobs to the “pressure” of bus contention and builds a tolerance model with the polynomial regression technique. The job scheduler allocates user jobs to the physical nodes in a contention aware manner. We design three scheduling policies that minimize the number of required nodes while ensuring the Service Level Agreement (SLA) of all the user jobs, minimize the number of jobs that suffer from SLA violation without enough nodes, and maximize the overall performance without considering the SLA violation, respectively. Adopting the three policies, Kronos reduces the number of the required nodes by 42.1% while ensuring the SLA of all the jobs, reduces the number of the jobs that suffer from SLA violation without enough nodes by 72.8%, and improves the overall performance by 35.2% without considering SLA.

Scalable and quantitative contention generation for performance evaluation on OLTP databases

Massive scale of transactions with critical requirements become popular for emerging businesses,especially in E-commerce.One of the most representative applications is the promotional event running on Alibaba's platform on some special dates,widely expected by global customers.Although we have achieved significant progress in improving the scalability of transactional database systems(OLTP),the presence of contention operations in workloads is still one of the fundamental obstacles to performance improving.The reason is that the overhead of managing conflict transactions with concurrency control mechanisms is proportional to the amount of contentions.As a consequence,generating contented workloads is urgent to evaluate performance of modern OLTP database systems.Though we have kinds of standard benchmarks which provide some ways in simulating contentions,e.g.,skew distribution control of transactions,they can not control the generation of contention quantitatively;even worse,the simulation effectiveness of these methods is affected by the scale of data.So in this paper we design a scalable quantitative contention generation method with fine contention granularity control.We conduct a comprehensive set of experiments on popular opensourced DBMSs compared with the latest contention simulation method to demonstrate the effectiveness of our generation work.

New Record Ocean Temperatures and Related Climate Indicators in 2023

The global physical and biogeochemical environment has been substantially altered in response to increased atmospheric greenhouse gases from human activities.In 2023,the sea surface temperature(SST)and upper 2000 m ocean heat content(OHC)reached record highs.The 0–2000 m OHC in 2023 exceeded that of 2022 by 15±10 ZJ(1 Zetta Joules=1021 Joules)(updated IAP/CAS data);9±5 ZJ(NCEI/NOAA data).The Tropical Atlantic Ocean,the Mediterranean Sea,and southern oceans recorded their highest OHC observed since the 1950s.Associated with the onset of a strong El Niño,the global SST reached its record high in 2023 with an annual mean of~0.23℃ higher than 2022 and an astounding>0.3℃ above 2022 values for the second half of 2023.The density stratification and spatial temperature inhomogeneity indexes reached their highest values in 2023.

Mechanical properties and acoustic emission characteristics of soft rock with different water contents under dynamic disturbance

Uniaxial compression tests and cyclic loading acoustic emission tests were conducted on 20%,40%,60%,80%,dry and saturated muddy sandstone by using a creep impact loading system to investigate the mechanical properties and acoustic emission characteristics of soft rocks with different water contents under dynamic disturbance.The mechanical properties and acoustic emission characteristics of muddy sandstones at different water contents were analysed.Results of experimental studies show that water is a key factor in the mechanical properties of rocks,softening them,increasing their porosity,reducing their brittleness and increasing their plasticity.Under uniaxial compression,the macroscopic damage characteristics of the muddy sandstone change from mono-bevel shear damage and‘X’type conjugate bevel shear damage to a roadway bottom-drum type damage as the water content increases.Dynamic perturbation has a strengthening effect on the mechanical properties of samples with 60%and less water content,and a weakening effect on samples with 80%and more water content,but the weakening effect is not obvious.Macroscopic damage characteristics of dry samples remain unchanged,water samples from shear damage and tensile–shear composite damage gradually transformed into cleavage damage,until saturation transformation monoclinic shear damage.The evolution of acoustic emission energy and event number is mainly divided into four stages:loading stage(Ⅰ),dynamic loading stage(Ⅱ),yield failure stage(Ⅲ),and post-peak stage(Ⅳ),the acoustic emission characteristics of the stages were different for different water contents.The characteristic value of acoustic emission key point frequency gradually decreases,and the damage degree of the specimen increases,corresponding to low water content—high main frequency—low damage and high water content—low main frequency—high damage.

Regulation of 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline and grain quality in early-season indica fragrant rice by nitrogen and silicon fertilization under different plantation methods

Fragrant rice has a high market value,and it is a popular rice type among consumers owing to its pleasant flavor.Plantation methods,nitrogen(N)fertilizers,and silicon(Si)fertilizers can affect the grain yield and fragrance of fragrant rice.However,the core commercial rice production attributes,namely the head rice yield(HRY)and 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline(2-AP)content of fragrant rice,under various nitrogen and silicon(N-Si)fertilization levels and different plantation methods remain unknown.The field experiment in this study was performed in the early seasons of 2018 and 2019 with two popular indica fragrant rice cultivars(Yuxiangyouzhan and Xiangyaxiangzhan).They were grown under six N-Si fertilization treatments(combinations of two levels of Si fertilizer,0 kg Si ha^(−1)(Si0)and 150 kg Si ha^(−1)(Si1),and three levels of N fertilizer,0 kg N ha^(−1)(N0),150 kg N ha^(−1)(N1),and 220 kg N ha^(−1)(N2))and three plantation methods(artificial transplanting(AT),mechanical transplanting(MT),and mechanical direct-seeding(MD)).The results showed that the N-Si fertilization treatments and all the plantation methods significantly affected the HRY and 2-AP content and related parameters of the two different fragrant rice cultivars.Compared with the Si0N0 treatment,the N-Si fertilization treatments resulted in higher HRY and 2-AP contents.The rates of brown rice,milled rice,head rice,and chalky rice of the fragrant rice also improved with the N-Si fertilization treatments.The N-Si fertilization treatments increased the activities of N metabolism enzymes and the accumulation of N and Si in various parts of the fragrant rice,and affected their antioxidant response parameters.The key parameters for the HRY and 2-AP content were assessed by redundancy analysis.Furthermore,the structural equation model revealed that the Si and N accumulation levels indirectly affected the HRY by affecting the N metabolism enzyme activity,N use efficiency,and grain quality of fragrant rice.Moreover,high N and Si accumulation directly promoted the 2-AP content or affected the antioxidant response parameters and indirectly regulated 2-AP synthesis.The interactions of the MT method with the N-Si fertilization treatments varied in the fragrant rice cultivars in terms of the HRY and 2-AP content,whereas the MD method was beneficial to the 2-AP content in both fragrant rice cultivars under the N-Si fertilization treatments.

Effects of thawing-induced softening on fracture behaviors of frozen rock

Due to the presence of ice and unfrozen water in pores of frozen rock,the rock fracture behaviors are susceptible to temperature.In this study,the potential thawing-induced softening effects on the fracture behaviors of frozen rock is evaluated by testing the tension fracture toughness(KIC)of frozen rock at different temperatures(i.e.-20℃,-15℃,-12℃,-10℃,-8℃,-6℃,-4℃,-2℃,and 0℃).Acoustic emission(AE)and digital image correlation(DIC)methods are utilized to analyze the microcrack propagation during fracturing.The melting of pore ice is measured using nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)method.The results indicate that:(1)The KIC of frozen rock decreases moderately between-20℃ and-4℃,and rapidly between-4℃ and 0℃.(2)At-20℃ to-4℃,the fracturing process,deduced from the DIC results at the notch tip,exhibits three stages:elastic deformation,microcrack propagation and microcrack coalescence.However,at-4℃e0℃,only the latter two stages are observed.(3)At-4℃e0℃,the AE activities during fracturing are less than that at-20℃ to-4℃,while more small events are reported.(4)The NMR results demonstrate a reverse variation trend in pore ice content with increasing temperature,that is,a moderate decrease is followed by a sharp decrease and-4℃ is exactly the critical temperature.Next,we interpret the thawing-induced softening effect by linking the evolution in microscopic structure of frozen rock with its macroscopic fracture behaviors as follow:from-20℃ to-4℃,the thickening of the unfrozen water film diminishes the cementation strength between ice and rock skeleton,leading to the decrease in fracture parameters.From-4℃ to 0℃,the cementation effect of ice almost vanishes,and the filling effect of pore ice is reduced significantly,which facilitates microcrack propagation and thus the easier fracture of frozen rocks.

Assessment of International GNSS Service Global Ionosphere Map products over China region based on measurements from the Crustal Movement Observation Network of China

The global ionosphere maps(GIM)provided by the International GNSS Service(IGS)are extensively utilized for ionospheric morphology monitoring,scientific research,and practical application.Assessing the credibility of GIM products in data-sparse regions is of paramount importance.In this study,measurements from the Crustal Movement Observation Network of China(CMONOC)are leveraged to evaluate the suitability of IGS-GIM products over China region in 2013-2014.The indices of mean error(ME),root mean square error(RMSE),and normalized RMSE(NRMSE)are then utilized to quantify the accuracy of IGS-GIM products.Results revealed distinct local time and latitudinal dependencies in IGS-GIM errors,with substantially high errors at nighttime(NRMSE:39%)and above 40°latitude(NRMSE:49%).Seasonal differences also emerged,with larger equinoctial deviations(NRMSE:33.5%)compared with summer(20%).A preliminary analysis implied that the irregular assimilation of sparse IGS observations,compounded by China’s distinct geomagnetic topology,may manifest as error variations.These results suggest that modeling based solely on IGS-GIM observations engenders inadequate representations across China and that a thorough examination would proffer the necessary foundation for advancing regional total electron content(TEC)constructions.

Communication contention in APN list scheduling algorithm

Task scheduling is an essential aspect of parallel process system. This NP-hard problem assumes fully connected homogeneous processors and ignores contention on the communication links. However, as arbitrary processor network （APN）, communication contention has a strong influence on the execution time of a parallel application. This paper investigates the incorporation of contention awareness into task scheduling. The innovation is the idea of dynamically scheduling edges to links, for which we use the earliest finish communication time search algorithm based on shortest-path search method. The other novel idea proposed in this paper is scheduling priority based on recursive rank computation on heterogeneous arbitrary processor network. In the end, to reduce time complexity of algorithm, a parallel algorithm is proposed and speedup O（PPE） is achieved. The comparison study, based on both randomly generated graphs and the graphs of some real applications, shows that our scheduling algorithm significantly surpasses classic and static communication contention awareness algorithm, especially for high data transmission rate parallel application.
