Bandwidth-Efficient Transmission Method for User View-Oriented Video Services

The trend in video viewing has been evolving beyond simply providing a multi-view option.Recently,a function that allows selection and viewing of a clip from a multi-view service that captures a specific range or object has been added.In particular,the free-view service is an extended concept of multi-view and provides a freer viewpoint.However,since numerous videos and additional data are required for its construction,all of the clips constituting the content cannot be simultaneously provided.Only certain clips are selected and provided to the user.If the video is not the preferred video,change request is made,and a delay occurs during retransmission from the server.Delays due to frequent re-requests degrade the overall quality of service.For free-view services,selectively transmitting the video according to the user’s desired viewpoint and region of interest within the limited network of available videos is important.In this study,we propose a method of screening and providing the correct video based on objects in the contents.Based on the method of recognizing the object in each clip,we designed a method of setting its priority based on information about the object’s location for each viewpoint.During the transmission and receiving process using this information,the selected video can be rapidly recognized and changed.Herein,we present a service system configuration method and propose video selection examples for free-view services.

Laser ultrasonic technique for surface defects detection of 6061 aluminum alloy

In order to estimate and detect the surface defect depth of metals, the transmission method of laser ultrasonic surface waves is used in this work. The laser ultrasonic detection platform taking use of thermoelastic mechanism as acoustic signal excitation method and interference receiver as acoustic signal receiver method was built, by which B-scan images of detected specimens with surface defects were collected to establish the relationship between the transmission coefficient and depth of the surface defect. Experimental results show that the amplitude of transmitted acoustic signal is related to the depth of surface defect. At last, a fitted curve of transmission coefficient using measured experimental data is obtained to estimate depth of surface defect on the 6061 aluminum alloy. Furthermore, a surface defect depth of 0.3 mm is estimated by the fitting curve with an estimated error of 16%. Therefore, a experimental method using the transmission method by laser ultrasonic is presented in this paper.

Experimental study on the multiscale scattering of high-velocity heterogeneous bodies

There are complex heterogeneous entities in the underground medium,and the heterogeneous scale has a substantial impact on wave propagation.In this study,we used a set of 11 samples of glass beads as high-velocity heterogeneous bodies to evaluate the impact of such heterogeneous bodies on the propagation of P-wave.We vary the heterogeneous scale by changing the diameter of the glass beads from 0.18 to 11 mm while keeping the same volume proportion(10%)of the beads for the set of 11 samples.The pulse transmission method was used to record measurements at the ultrasonic frequencies of 0.34,0.61,and 0.84 MHz in the homogeneous matrix.The relationship between P-wave fi eld features and heterogeneity scale,P-wave velocity,and the multiple of the wave number and heterogeneous scale(ka)was observed in the laboratory,which has sparked widespread interest and research.Heterogeneous scale affects P-wave propagation,and its wave field changes are complex.The waveform,amplitude,and velocity of the recorded P-waves correlate with the heterogeneous scale.For the forward scattering while large-scale heterogeneities,noticeable direct and diff racted waves are observed in the laboratory,which indicates that the infl uence of direct and diff racted waves cannot be ignored for large-scale heterogeneities.The relationship between velocity and ka shows frequency dependence;the reason is that the magnitude of change in velocity caused by wave number is diff erent from that caused by heterogeneous scale.According to the change in the recorded waveform,amplitude variation,or the relationship between the velocity measured at diff erent frequencies and the heterogeneous scale,the identifi ed turning points of the ray approximation are all around ka=10.When ka is less than 1,the velocity changes slowly and gradually approaches the eff ective medium velocity.The ray velocity measured for heterogeneous media with large velocity perturbations in the laboratory is signifi cantly smaller than the velocity predicted by the perturbation theory.

Boundary element method for calculation of elastic wave transmission in two-dimensional phononic crystals

A boundary element method(BEM) is presented to compute the transmission spectra of two-dimensional(2-D) phononic crystals of a square lattice which are finite along the x-direction and infinite along the y-direction.The cross sections of the scatterers may be circular or square.For a periodic cell,the boundary integral equations of the matrix and the scatterers are formulated.Substituting the periodic boundary conditions and the interface continuity conditions,a linear equation set is formed,from which the elastic wave transmission can be obtained.From the transmission spectra,the band gaps can be identified,which are compared with the band structures of the corresponding infinite systems.It is shown that generally the transmission spectra completely correspond to the band structures.In addition,the accuracy and the efficiency of the boundary element method are analyzed and discussed.

SER estimation method for 56 GBaud PAM-4 transmission system

In this Letter, we have proposed a generalized Gaussian probability density function（GGPDF）-based method to estimate the symbol error ratio（SER） for pulse amplitude modulation（PAM-4） in an intensity modulation/direct detection（IM/DD） system. Furthermore, a closed form expression of SERGGDfor PAM-4 has been derived. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated through simulation as well as experimental work.The fitting of probability density functions of the received signal is applied via GGPDF and shape parameters P1 and P2 associated with different PAM-4 levels are determined. The optimum single value of shape parameter P is then calculated to estimate the SER. The mathematical relationship of P with different received optical powers and receiver bandwidths has been determined and verified. The proposed method is a fast and accurate method to estimate SER of a PAM-4 system, which is more reliable and in agreement with the error counting method.

TCP TRAFFIC PERFORMANCE IMPROVING IN LTE-A NETWORKS

This paper presents a novel way to improve Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) performance of the users at the edge areas of the macro cells in Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-A) systems. Previous works on improving wireless TCP performance are reviewed and current considerations on TCP in LTE-A are explained. However, those solutions are neither too complex nor limited to some presuppositions which are too restricting for the deployment of LTE-A networks. In this paper a substituted TCP acknowledgement transmission scheme based on Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) information in layer 2 is proposed. The simulation result shows that the proposed method can reduce the delay and improve the throughput of the edging users of the cell, as well as reducing radio resources in LTE-A macro cells.

Measurement of the neutron total cross section of^(9)Be at the Back-n white neutron source of CSNS

The neutron total cross section data of^(9)Be are essential in the nuclear structure model research of light nuclei and nuclear power installations.The neutron total cross section of^(9)Be in the 0.3 eV−120 MeV energy region has been measured using time-of-flight and transmission methods with the Neutron Total Cross Sectional Spectrometer(NTOX)based on the multi-cell fast fission chamber at the China Spallation Neutron Source(CSNS)-Back-n white neutron source(Back-n).The fission count-neutron energy distributions of ^(235)U and ^(238)U without samples and with Be samples with three thicknesses were measured in the double-bunch operation mode for a beam power of 100 kW.The Bayesian method was used to eliminate the influence of the double-bunch problem on neutron measurement in the energy region above 10 keV.The neutron total cross section of^(9)Be results was consistent with ENDF/B-VIII.0 evaluation library data in the 0.3 eV−20 MeV energy region.In the energy ranges of 0.3 eV to 10 keV and 0.01 to 20 MeV,the deviations between our results and the evaluation results of ENDF/B-VIII.0 were within 2.5%and 15%,respectively.In the resonance energy region,the measured resonance energies in our experiment were 0.63,0.82,and 2.8 MeV,respectively.The results showed that the total cross section uncertainties of three Be samples were within 2.2%in the energy region below 1 MeV.The total cross section uncertainty of 30 mm Be from ^(235)U was the smallest and less than 5%in the energy region of 0.3 eV−120 MeV.The results of this experiment can provide technical support for further data analysis and related nuclear data evaluation.

Energy dissipation mechanism and experiment of particle dampers for gear transmission under centrifugal loads

As a passive means of vibration reduction, particle damping is mainly applied to the horizontal or vertical steady field. However, it is seldom applied to centrifugal fields. Under high speed and heavy loading, the vibration of tooth surfaces of gear transmissions becomes more severe shortening gear service life and augmenting noise. Under centrifugal loading, the particle system exhibits different characteristics, for example, particles are extruded at the end farthest from the center. We investigated gears with drilled via holes filled with damping particles. Using the discrete-element method, we developed an energy dissipation model for the particle system accounting for friction and inelastic collisions. Energy dissipation and damping characteristics of this system were analyzed. Experiments were also conducted with the gear system having different particle filling rates. The results show that this filling rate is an important parameter associated with particle damping in a centrifugal field. An unsuitable filling rate would significantly reduce damping effectiveness. With changes in rotation speed and load, the gear transmission system has different optimal filling rates. The results provide guidelines for the application of particle damping in centrifugal fields of gear transmissions.

Ohmic contacts of Ti/Al/Ni/Au multi-layer metal on A10.27 Ga0.73N/GaN heterostructures were fabricated. Specific contact resistivities were measured by the linear transmission line method （LTLM） and the circular transmission line method （CTLM） ,respectively. A minimum specific contact resistivity of 1.46× 10 ^-5Ω· cm^2z was obtained by evaporating a Ti（10nm）/Al（100nm）/Ni（40nm）/Au（100nm） multi-layer and annealing for 30s at 650℃ in ultra-high purity N2 ambient. A10.27 Ga0.73 N/GaN photoconductor ultraviolet （UV） photodetectors were prepared. The dark current-voltage （I-V） characteristics of the detectors were measured and the result shows that the I- V curve was linear. Experimental results indicate that good ohmic contact on the Al0.27 Ga0.73 N/GaN heterostructure is obtained and it can be applied in high- performance AlGaN/GaN UV photodetector fabrications.
