Furthermore, the frequent packet retransmissions also lead to energy waste. In order to improve the energy efficiency of wireless networks and save the energy of wireless devices, EEFA (Energy Efficiency Frame Aggregation), a frame aggregation based energy-efficient scheduling algorithm for IEEE 802.11n wireless network, is proposed. EEFA changes the size of aggregated frame dynamically according to the frame error rate, so as to ensure the data transmission and retransmissions completed during the TXOP and reduce energy consumption of channel contention. NS2 simulation results show that EEFA algorithm achieves better performance than the original frame-aggregation algorithm.展开更多

A mixed Weibull distribution represents a popu- lation that consists of several Weibull subpopulations. In this paper, a new approach which combines the least-squares method with Bayes’ theorem, takes advantage of the parameter estimation for single Weibull distribution is developed to estimate the pa- rameters of each subpopulation. The estimates given by this paper also satisfy the maximum likelihood equation. The estimates of the failure rate of the mixed Weibull population are given. An actual test data is computed by using the proposed method. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov goodness-of-fit test turns out that the proposed method yields more accurate result.展开更多

The new algorithm produces a better estimate from the outputs produced by the traditional nonlinear approaches with the assistance of simple noise minimizers like maximum likelihood filter or any other algorithm which belongs to their family. The introduced method is extended to the higher version in two ways. The first approach extracts a better estimate and covariance by enhancing the count of the intermediate filters, while the second approach accepts more inputs so as to attain improved performance without enhancement of the intermediate filter count. The ideal choice of the placement of towed array sensors to improve the performance of the proposed method further is suggested as the one where the line of sight and the towed array are perpendicular. The results could get even better by moving the ownship in the direction of reducing range. All the results are verified in the MATLAB environment.展开更多

This shape can be obtained using an approximation of the fractional Reynolds equations when the water interacts with the surface. A model is introduced for the Reynolds stresses complemented with a closure relation of fractional origin. A power type solution is obtained for the main velocity and stress. Velocity profile is found based on the assumption of a steady flow and the energy conservation equation. A Froude number and the cubic equation of the weir are built. The dimensionless upstream velocity head is also determined which allow graphically showing the exponent and coefficient of the water-profile over an ogee-shaped crest. It is possible to estimate the occupied-space index trough an exponents' ratio of profile over the velocity head.展开更多

In this study, XRD, PL/PLE, QE, thermal stability and LED package tests are systematically carried out and investigated. The optimized-composition of (Sro 92Eu0.08)4Al14025 exhibited a green emission peak at 497 nm under excitation wavelength of 400 nm, giving the chromaticity coordinates of (0.14, 0.35) with excellent quantum efficiency (98%) compared to those of other green-commodities, such as Ba2SiO4:Eu2+ (90%) and BaMgAl10O17:EU2+, Mn2+ (92%).

Quantitatively good results of the γ-ray energies, the dynamical moments of inertia and the spin of the TSD bands in odd-A Lu isotopes are obtained. The calculation shows that the competition between the pairing and anti-pairing effects exists in these TSD bands. Meanwhile, the SU(3) symmetry in TSD bands are broken more seriously than in superdeformed (SD) bands.展开更多
