Shaking table test study on performance and functionality of a typical telecommunication room after earthquakes

Large numbers of basic transceiver stations,where the telecommunication room is one of the main components,comprise an important part of the telecommunication system.After earthquakes,considerable economic loss from telecommunication systems is often associated with seismic damage and functional loss of the telecommunication room.However,research related to this has been limited.In this study,shaking table tests were conducted for a full-scale typical telecommunication room,including a light-steel house and the necessary communication and power supply equipment.The tests not only focused on the seismic damage to all the structures but also considered the functions of the communication and power supply of the equipment.The interactions between these facilities and their effects on communication function were also investigated.Compared with the damage to structures,the interruption of the power supply due to earthquakes is a weak link.Finally,the damage indexes,together with their threshold values of different damage states for the communication and power supply equipment,were derived from the test results.The results of this research can contribute to the literature gaps regarding seismic performance studies of telecommunication rooms,and can serve as a valuable reference for future research on its seismic fragility and economic losses evaluation.

Wireless communication and wireless power transfer system for implantable medical device

Traditional magnetically coupled resonant wireless power transfer technology uses fixed distances between coils for research,to prevent fluctuations in the receiving voltage,and lead to reduce transmission efficiency.This paper proposes a closed-loop control wireless communication wireless power transfer system with a wearable four-coil structure to stabilize the receiving voltage fluctuation caused by changes in the displacement between the coils.Test results show that the system can provide stable receiving voltage,no matter how the distance between the transmitting coil and the receiving coil is changed.When the transmission distance is 20 mm,the power transfer efficiency of the system can reach 18.5%under the open-loop state,and the stimulus parameters such as the stimulation period and pulse width can be adjusted in real time through the personal computer terminal.

Random Access and Resource Allocation for the Coexistence of NOMA-Based and OMA-Based M2M Communications

In the future fifth generation(5G) systems,non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA) is a promising technology that can greatly enhance the network capacity compared to orthogonal multiple access(OMA) .In this paper,we propose a novel random access(RA) and resource allocation scheme for the coexistence of NOMA-based and OMAbased machine-to-machine(M2M) communications,which aims at improving the number of successful data packet transmissions and guaranteeing the quality of service(Qo S) (e.g.,the minimum data rate requirement) for M2 M communications.The algorithm of joint user equipment(UE) paring and power allocation is proposed for the coexisting RA(i.e.,the coexistence of NOMA-based RA and OMA-based RA) .The resource allocation for the coexisting RA is investigated,thus improving the number of successful data packet transmissions by more efficiently using the radio resources.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed RA and resource allocation scheme outperforms the conventional RA in terms of the number of successful data packet transmissions,thus is a promising technology in future M2 M communications.

Segmentation of the communication tower and its accessory equipment based on geometrical shape context from 3D point cloud

Communication tower(CT)and its accessory equipment(AE)such as radio frequency equipment(RFE)and antenna,are essential in providing highspeed and stable mobile network services.It is necessary to routinely monitor the security and stability of CT and AE for seamless communication.There is limited research on fine segmentation of communication base station objects.This paper proposes a method for accurately segmenting the point cloud of the CT and AE from Terrestrial Laser Scanning(TLS)data.At first,the CT point cloud is accurately segmented based on region growing and Random Sample Consensus(RANSAC).Then,the point cloud of pole-shaped apart is extended to a certain distance to obtain the buffer point cloud containing AE.Normal Differential(ND)clustering is employed to obtain several groups of clusters containing planes,and calculate each plane's filling rate and size.Finally,the cluster type(such as antenna,RFE,or other)is distinguished.The experimental results demonstrate that the point-based average F1-score of CTs is 98.70%,the point-based and object-based average F1-scores of antennas are 96.09%and 97.93%,and the corresponding values for the RFE are 89.89%and 90.00%,respectively,indicating the optimal performance of the proposed method.

Dynamic PMD compensation in 40-Gb/s optical communication system

A 40-Gb/s optical time division multiplexing (OTDM) return-to-zero (RZ) transmission experiments including a dynamic polarization mode dispersion (PMD) compensation was reported. The dynamic PMD compensator is made up of two-stage four degrees of freedom (DOF). The first stage adopts polarization controller and fixed time-delayed line. The second stage is variable differential group delay (DGD) element. The PMD monitoring technique is based on degree of polarization (DOP) as error signal. A novel practical adaptive optimization algorithm was introduced in dynamic adaptive PMD compensation. The experimental results show that the performance of the PMD compensator is excellent for 40-Gb/s RZ transmission systems with the large DGD. With this compensator, a significant improvement of system performance can be achieved in the eye pattern of a received signal. The first-order compensating ability of the compensator is greater than 30 ps. The second-order compensating ability is greater than 200 ps2. The first-order optimum compensating time is within 10 ms. The second-order optimum compensating time is within 24 ms.

We present a modified method to design photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) with flattened dispersion char- acteristic. Using this modified PCF we design a broadband fiber optical parametric amplifier (FOPA), which provides a gain of 8 dB with 1.5-dB uniformity over a 260-nm bandwidth. Both the simulation results of total dispersion of PCF and the gain spectrum of FOPA are demonstrated.

Hybrid WDMA/OCDM system with the capability of encoding multiple wavelength channels by employing one encoder and one corresponding optical code

A hybrid wavelength division multiple access （WDMA）/optical code division multiplexing （OCDM） system is proposed, where the optical code is not the same as the address of every optical network unit （ONU）; rather, the code is a virtual fiber of hybrid passive optical network （PON）. To our knowledge, this is the first report analyzing a single encoder/decoder with a single corresponding optical code being exploited to encode/decode multiple wavelength signals simultaneously. This system enables OCDM to become transparent to ONU so that the existing wavelength division multiplexing （WDM） PON can be upgraded. Thus, redesigning the optical line terminal and ONU can be easily accomplished, and greatly decreasing the number of encoder/decoder becomes possible. In experiment, we only employ two encoder/decoder pairs to combine two WDM-PONs in one fiber. Simulation results confirm the feasibility of the proposed system.

Mixed heavy metal effect on emission properties of Er^(3+)-doped borosilicate glasses

Er3+-doped heavy metal borosilicate glasses were prepared using conventional melting and quenching method. The emission spectra of 4I13/2 → 4I15/2 transition were observed upon excitation at 974 nm and the lifetime of 4I13/2 level of Er3+ was measured. Based on these data, the fluorescence properties of Er3+ are investigated on the emission and gain characteristics at the 1.5 μm bands. In particular, the effect of relative heavy metal content on fluorescence properties is discussed.

We propose a 1st and 2nd order polarization mode dispersion emulator （PMDE） with one variable differential group delay （DGD） clement using birefringence crystals and four polarization controllers （PCs）. Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate that the output 1st and 2nd order polarization mode dispersion （PMD） generated by the PMDE consists with statistic theory. Compared with former PMDEs, this design is tunable, lower-cost, and more integrated for fabrication, which shows response time of 150μs, response frequency of 3.8 kHz, working wavelength of 1550 nm, total power consumption of less than 3 W, working range of 0 84 ps and 0 3600 ps^2 for 1st and 2nd order PMD emulation, respectively. Also, it is programmable and can be controlled by either singlechip or computer. It can be applied to study the outage probability of optical communication systems due to PMD effect and the effectiveness of PMD compensation.

High gain low noise L-band preamplifier with cascade double-pass structure

An optimized two-stage-cascade double-pass structure L-band preamplifier was proposed and experimentally studied to overcome the shortcomings of low gain coefficient and high noise figure of L-band erbiumdoped fiber amplifier (EDFA). The fiber lengthes of 6.5 and 32.5 m, pump powers of 130 and 119 mW for the first and second stages respectively are used in the experiment. When input signal power is-30 dBm, the amplifier can provide gain above 38.84 dB in a wavelength range of 34 nm (1568-1602 nm), gain ripple less than 2.04 dB (40.88-38.84 dB), and noise figures lower than 5.29 dB with the lowest value of 3.95 dB at 1590 nm. Experimental and simulation results show that this low cost and high pump efficiency amplifier is suitable for the application as an L-band preamplifier in the broadband fiber communication system.

Multi-wavelength fiber source based on double-pass superfluorescent fiber source and a reflection Mach-Zehnder filter

A spectrum-sliced multi-wavelength fiber source (SS-MWFS) based on double-pass superfluorescent fiber source (SFS) with a reflection Mach-Zehnder filter (RMZF) as the reflected comb filter is demonstrated. With backward pumped configuration, MWFS with 50 wavelength channels of extinction ratio (ER) of 16.7 dB is obtained over the almost total C-band gain region. Total output power of the MWFS is 16.2 mW which shows that a power of about 0.3 mW of per channel is achieved. The SS-MWFS with forward pumped configuration is also discussed for comparing. The backward pumped configuration can provide a larger output power while only a little smaller ER than that of the forward pumped configuration.
