Wireless Mesh Networks and Cooperative Relaying Technologies

The Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) has become a focus in research of wireless broadband communications . In a switching technologies - based wireless Mesh network, the entire network is regarded as an IP subnet, so it cannot be applied in situations where large coverage is required . The use of cooperative relaying technologies can improve the transmission rate and reliability of wireless link; while the wireless Mesh network, once integrated with cooperative relaying technologies and routing technologies , can improve its spectrum efficiency and cover a wide area . However, there are many problems to be solved with respect to standardization, key technologies research and industrialization. Therefore , the application of cooperative relaying technologies in wireless Mesh networks is still a great challenge .

Scalability Technologies for Wireless Mesh Networks

The continuous increase of data transmission density in wireless mobile communications has posed a challenge to the system performance of Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs ). There is a rule for wireless Ad hoc networks that the average node capacity decreases while the number of nodes increases , so it is hard to establish a large - scale wireless Mesh network. Network scalability is very important for enhancing the adaptive networking capability of the wireless Mesh network. This article discusses key scalability technologies for Mesh Base Stations (BSs ) and Mesh Mobile Stations (MSs ), such as channel allocation, intelligent routing , multi- antenna , node classification, Quality of Service (QoS) differentiation and cooperative transmission.

Key Technologies of Wireless Mesh Network

The Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) is a special kind of Ad hoc network with a hierarchical network structure . Its backbone transmission network has such characteristics as multi- hop , topology stability, no electricity supply constraints , convergence of flows . Improving the spatial reuse of spectrum is an effective approach to increase network capacity. The linchpin of this approach is to effectively control the interference range between wireless links . The multi- channel networking technology is one of the key technologies of WMN, and its core is the channel allocation through which the channel utilization can be maximized . The mutual interference between multi- hop wireless links should be considered when choosing the routing metrics in WMN. Through the load - balancing routing method , the network capacity and throughput of nodes can be improved .

Aeroacoustic and aerodynamic optimization of propeller blades

It is of great significance to develop a high-efficiency and low-noise propeller optimization method for new-generation propeller aircraft design.Coupled with free form deformation method,dynamic mesh interpolation technology,optimization algorithm,surrogate model,aerodynamic calculation and aeroacoustic prediction model module,the integrated aerodynamic and aeroacoustic design method of propeller is built.The optimization design for the six-blade propeller is carried out.The non-reduction in efficiency,thrust coefficient and the minimum of aerodynamic noise is treated as the optimization design objective.The spatial vorticity distribution of the propeller before and after the design is also analyzed by using unsteady computational fluid dynamics method.The results show that the optimized propeller can effectively reduce the aerodynamic noise level.The maximum total sound pressure level can be reduced by 5 dB without reducing its aerodynamic performance.The developed method has good application potential in low-noise optimization design of propeller and other rotating machinery.
