The industrial Internet of Things(IIoT)is a new indus-trial idea that combines the latest information and communica-tion technologies with the industrial economy.In this paper,a cloud control structure is designed for IIoT in cloud-edge envi-ronment with three modes of 5G.For 5G based IIoT,the time sensitive network(TSN)service is introduced in transmission network.A 5G logical TSN bridge is designed to transport TSN streams over 5G framework to achieve end-to-end configuration.For a transmission control protocol(TCP)model with nonlinear disturbance,time delay and uncertainties,a robust adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller(AFSMC)is given with control rule parameters.IIoT workflows are made up of a series of subtasks that are linked by the dependencies between sensor datasets and task flows.IIoT workflow scheduling is a non-deterministic polynomial(NP)-hard problem in cloud-edge environment.An adaptive and non-local-convergent particle swarm optimization(ANCPSO)is designed with nonlinear inertia weight to avoid falling into local optimum,which can reduce the makespan and cost dramatically.Simulation and experiments demonstrate that ANCPSO has better performances than other classical algo-rithms.

Blockchain-based data transmission control for Tactical Data Link

Tactical Data Link(TDL)is a communication system that utilizes a particular message format and a protocol to transmit data via wireless channels in an instant,automatic,and secure way.So far,TDL has shown its excellence in military applications.Current TDL adopts a distributed architecture to enhance anti-destruction capacity.However,It still faces a problem of data inconsistency and thus cannot well support cooperation across multiple militarily domains.To tackle this problem,we propose to leverage blockchain to build an automatic and adaptive data transmission control scheme for TDL.It achieves automatic data transmission and realizes information consistency among different TDL entities.Besides,applying smart contracts based on blockchain further enables adjusting data transmission policies automatically.Security analysis and experimental results based on simulations illustrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed scheme.

Explicit Rate Based Transmission Control Scheme in Vehicle-to-lnfrastructure Communication Networks

In Vehicle-to-infrastructure(V2I)communication networks,mobile users are able to access Internet services,such as video streaming,digital map downloading,database access,online gaming,and even safety services like accident alarm,traffic condition broadcast,etc.,through fixed roadside units.However,the dynamics of communication environment and frequent changing topology critically challenge the design of an efficient transport layer protocol,which makes it difficult to guarantee diverse Quality of Service(QoS) requirements for various applications.In this paper,we present a novel transport layer scheme in infrastructure based vehicular networks,and aim to resolve some challenging issues such as source transfer rate adjustment,congestion avoidance,and fairness.By precisely detecting packet losses and identifying various causes of these losses(for example,link disconnection,channel error,packet collision,buffer overflow),the proposed scheme adopts different reacting mechanisms to deal with each of the losses.Moreover,it timely monitors the buffer size of the bottleneck Road-Side Unit(RSU),and dynamically makes transfer rate feedbacks to source nodes to avoid buffer overflow or vacancy.Finally,analysis and simulation results show that the proposed scheme not only successfully reduces packet losses because of buffer overflow and link disconnection but also improves the utilization efficiency of channel resource.

Review on development progress of automatic manual transmissions control

In recent years, the sustainable development of automatic manual transmissions (AMTs) control in vehicles is conspicuous. The control applications have grown fast and steadily due to the tremendous progress in power electronics components and the control software that enhance the requirements for delivering higher vehicles performance. AMTs control strategies achieve a reduction in the driveline dynamic oscillations behavior during gear shifting and clutch starting up processes. AMTs future expectations are an increase of torque capacity, more speed ratios and the development of advanced and efficient electronic control systems. This paper concerns with the progressing view of AMTs in the past, today and future, gives an overview of the potential dynamic problems concerned with AMTs and some control strategies used to solve those problems.

Separate Dimming Controlling and Data Transmission for an Indoor Visible Light Communication System

Simultaneous dimming controlling and data transmission are usually required in a white LED based indoor visible light communication system.However,the diming controlling of LED normally interferes the data transmission due to the modulation nonlinearity of LED.In order to solve this problem,a scheme by separating the LEDs for the functions of dimming control and data transmission respectively is proposed in this paper.In the scheme,the LEDs used for dimming control function are driven by a dc amplified circuit,and the LEDs for data transmission are driven by a digital modulation circuit respectively.In this way,the modulation distortion to the data signal caused by the modulation nonlinearity can be avoided even if the dimming is at high level dc driven current.The proof-of-concept experiment of a 2.5Mbit/s visible light communication system demonstrates that the dimming controlling and data transmission can be realized simultaneously in a simple way,and the data transmission is not affected by the dimming controlling function.Compared to previous methods,the scheme in this paper is simpler and cost effective,and makes sense when high rate data is transmitted in a visible light communication system.

MODELING, VALIDATION AND OPTIMAL DESIGN OF THE CLAMPING FORCE CONTROL VALVE USED IN CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION

Associated dynamic performance of the clamping force control valve used in continuously variable transmission （CVT） is optimized. Firstly, the structure and working principle of the valve are analyzed, and then a dynamic model is set up by means of mechanism analysis. For the purpose of checking the validity of the modeling method, a prototype workpiece of the valve is manufactured for comparison test, and its simulation result follows the experimental result quite well. An associated performance index is founded considering the response time, overshoot and saving energy, and five structural parameters are selected to adjust for deriving the optimal associated performance index. The optimization problem is solved by the genetic algorithm （GA） with necessary constraints. Finally, the properties of the optimized valve are compared with those of the prototype workpiece, and the results prove that the dynamic performance indexes of the optimized valve are much better than those of the prototype workpiece.

OPTIMAL TORQUE CONTROL STRATEGY FOR PARALLEL HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE WITH AUTOMATIC MECHANICAL TRANSMISSION

In parallel hybrid electrical vehicle （PHEV） equipped with automatic mechanical transmission （AMT）, the driving smoothness and the clutch abrasion are the primary considerations for powertrain control during gearshift and clutch operation. To improve these performance indexes of PHEV, a coordinated control system is proposed through the analyzing of HEV powertrain dynamic characteristics. Using the method of minimum principle, the input torque of transmission is optimized to improve the driving smoothness of vehicle. Using the methods of fuzzy logic and fuzzy-PID, the engaging speed of clutch and the throttle opening of engine are manipulated to ensure the smoothness of clutch engagement and reduce the abrasion of clutch friction plates. The motor provides the difference between the required input torque of transmission and the torque transmitted through clutch plates. Results of simulation and experiments show that the proposed control strategy performs better than the contrastive control system, the smoothness of driving and the abrasion of clutch can be improved simultaneously.

Transmission Control under Multi-Service Disciplines in Wireless Sensor Networks

The wireless sensor network(WSN),as the terminal data acquisition system of the 5G network,has attracted attention due to advantages such as low cost and easy deployment.Its development is mainly restricted by energy.The traditional transmission control scheme is not suitable for WSNs due to the significant information interaction.A switchable transmission control scheme for WSNs based on a queuing game(SQGTC)is proposed to improve network performance.Considering that sensor nodes compete for the resources of sink nodes to realize data transmission,the competitive relationship between nodes is described from the perspective of a game.Different types of sensor node requests require a sink node to provide different service disciplines.Mathematical models of social welfare are established for a sink node under the service disciplines of first-come,first-served(FCFS),egalitarian processor sharing(EPS),and shortest service first(SSF).The optimal service strategies are obtained by maximizing social welfare.The sensor nodes provide the expected benefits and satisfy the service requirements of the requests,and the sink node switches the transmission control strategy for the service.Simulation results show that the proposed scheme improves the data transmission efficiency of WSNs and achieves the optimal allocation of resources.

Improving Throughput of Transmission Control Protocol Using Cross LayerApproach

Most of the internet users connect through wireless networks. Majorpart of internet traffic is carried by Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). It hassome design constraints while operated across wireless networks. TCP is the traditional predominant protocol designed for wired networks. To control congestionin the network, TCP used acknowledgment to delivery of packets by the end host.In wired network, packet loss signals congestion in the network. But rather inwireless networks, loss is mainly because of the wireless characteristics such asfading, signal strength etc. When a packet travels across wired and wireless networks, TCP congestion control theory faces problem during handshake betweenthem. This paper focuses on finding this misinterpretation of the losses using crosslayer approach. This paper focuses on increasing bandwidth usage by improvingTCP throughput in wireless environments using cross layer approach and hencenamed the proposed system as CRLTCP. TCP misinterprets wireless loss as congestion loss and unnecessarily reduces congestion window size. Using the signalstrength and frame error rate, the type of loss is identified and accordingly theresponse of TCP is modified. The results show that there is a significant improvement in the throughput of proposed TCP upon which bandwidth usage isincreased.

Rate-aware optimal transmission power analysis in wireless ad hoc networks

The problem of transmission power control in a rate-aware way is investigated to improve the throughput of wireless ad hoc network. The behavior of basic IEEE 802.11 DCF is approximated by the p-persistent CSMA through a Markov chain model. The throughput model takes hidden terminals, muhi-hop flow and concurrent interference into account. Numerical results show that the optimal transmission power derived from this model could balance the tradeoff between spatial reuse and data rate and hence yield maximum throughput.

A Stream Control Transmission Protocol Based OAM System of 3G Cellular Network

OAM (Operations, Administration and Maintenance) system is a very impo rtant component of 3G cellular network. In order to acquire overall managemen t, fast response and steady operation, an SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Prot ocol) based OAM, i.e., SOAM system was proposed. SOAM implements new characters of SCTP such as multi-stream, enforced SACK and heartbeat mechanism on its tran sport layer. These characters help SOAM decrease the message transmission delay and accelerate the link failure detection. Besides, a new component named SOAM agent was introduced to improve the operation efficiency of SOAM. The experim ental results prove the proposed SOAM system achieves better performance on sign aling transmission compared with conventional TCP based OAM system.

Multi-Stage Image Compression-Decompression System Using PCA/IPCA to Enhance Wireless Transmission Security

The goal of this paper is to propose a fast and secure multi-stage image compression-decompression system by using a wireless network between two Personal Computers (PCs). In this paper, the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) technique is used for multi-stage image compression and Inverse Principal Component Analysis (IPCA) for multi-stage image decompression. The first step of the proposed system is to select the input image, the second step is to perform PCA up to 9 times on the input image, this compression, and after multi-stage compression process then the third step begins by transforming across wireless Ad hoc Network (WANET) to the second computing device, forth step start with multi-stage decompression process up 9 times. The proposed system for different images is transferred over the wireless network using Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), which is programmed using the network role property of the MATLAB program. The proposed system implements 25 different images correctly (100%). The main contribution of this paper is that we are dealing with the black image at the end of the compressed process ad start with a black image at the start of the decompressed process of this proposed system. In this work, the compressed and uncompressed images are compared with each other in their size and transmission time. This system can be very useful in networks because they provide a high level of protection to the transmitted data from hackers because they cannot guess how much the image has been compressed or what kind of information the image represents.

Slow driving control of tracked vehicles with automated mechanical transmission based on fuzzy logic

In order to move tracked vehicles at an extremely slowspeed with automated mechanical transmission（ AMT）,slowdriving function was added in the original system. The principle and requirement of slowdriving function were analyzed. Based on analysis of slow driving characteristic,identification of slowdriving condition and fuzzy control algorithm,a control strategy of the clutch was designed. In order to realize slowdriving,the clutch was controlled in a slipping mode as manual driving. The vehicle speed was increased to a required speed and kept in a small range by engaging or disengaging the clutch to the approximate half engagement point. Based on the control strategy,a control software was designed and tested on a tracked vehicle with AMT. The test results showthat the control of the clutch with the slowdriving function was smoother than that with original systemand the vehicle speed was slower and steadier.

An 80-GHz DCO utilizing improved SC ladder and promoted DCTL-based hybrid tuning banks

An 80-GHz DCO based on modified hybrid tuning banks is introduced in this paper.To achieve sub-MHz frequency res-olution with reduced circuit complexity,the improved circuit topology replaces the conventional circuit topology with two binary-weighted SC cells,enabling eight SC-cell-based improved SC ladders to achieve the same fine-tuning steps as twelve SC-cell-based conventional SC ladders.To achieve lower phase noise and smaller chip size,the promoted binary-weighted digi-tally controlled transmission lines(DCTLs)are used to implement the coarse and medium tuning banks of the DCO.Compared to the conventional thermometer-coded DCTLs,control bits of the proposed DCTLs are reduced from 30 to 8,and the total length is reduced by 34.3%(from 122.76 to 80.66μm).Fabricated in 40-nm CMOS,the DCO demonstrated in this work fea-tures a small fine-tuning step(483 kHz),a high oscillation frequency(79-85 GHz),and a smaller chip size(0.017 mm^(2)).Com-pared to previous work,the modified DCO exhibits an excellent figure of merit with an area(FoMA)of-198 dBc/Hz.

Mobility Aware Zone-Based Routing in Vehicle Ad hoc Networks Using Hybrid Metaheuristic Algorithm

Vehicle Ad hoc Networks(VANETs)have high mobility and a rando-mized connection structure,resulting in extremely dynamic behavior.Several challenges,such as frequent connection failures,sustainability,multi-hop data transfer,and data loss,affect the effectiveness of Transmission Control Protocols(TCP)on such wireless ad hoc networks.To avoid the problem,in this paper,mobility-aware zone-based routing in VANET is proposed.To achieve this con-cept,in this paper hybrid optimization algorithm is presented.The hybrid algo-rithm is a combination of Ant colony optimization(ACO)and artificial bee colony optimization(ABC).The proposed hybrid algorithm is designed for the routing process which is transmitting the information from one place to another.The optimal routing process is used to avoid traffic and link failure.Thefitness function is designed based on Link stability and Residual energy.The validation of the proposed algorithm takes solution encoding,fitness calculation,and updat-ing functions.To perform simulation experiments,NS2 simulator software is used.The performance of the proposed approach is analyzed based on different metrics namely,delivery ratio,delay time,throughput,and overhead.The effec-tiveness of the proposed method compared with different algorithms.Compared to other existing VANET algorithms,the hybrid algorithm has proven to be very efficient in terms of packet delivery ratio and delay.

An Efficient Priority-Driven Congestion Control Algorithm for Data Center Networks

With the emerging diverse applications in data centers,the demands on quality of service in data centers also become diverse,such as high throughput of elephant flows and low latency of deadline-sensitive flows.However,traditional TCPs are ill-suited to such situations and always result in the inefficiency(e.g.missing the flow deadline,inevitable throughput collapse)of data transfers.This further degrades the user-perceived quality of service(QoS)in data centers.To reduce the flow completion time of mice and deadline-sensitive flows along with promoting the throughput of elephant flows,an efficient and deadline-aware priority-driven congestion control(PCC)protocol,which grants mice and deadline-sensitive flows the highest priority,is proposed in this paper.Specifically,PCC computes the priority of different flows according to the size of transmitted data,the remaining data volume,and the flows’deadline.Then PCC adjusts the congestion window according to the flow priority and the degree of network congestion.Furthermore,switches in data centers control the input/output of packets based on the flow priority and the queue length.Different from existing TCPs,to speed up the data transfers of mice and deadline-sensitive flows,PCC provides an effective method to compute and encode the flow priority explicitly.According to the flow priority,switches can manage packets efficiently and ensure the data transfers of high priority flows through a weighted priority scheduling with minor modification.The experimental results prove that PCC can improve the data transfer performance of mice and deadline-sensitive flows while guaranting the throughput of elephant flows.
