In thispaper, the random discontinuous transmission (DTX)at user equipment (UE) is adopted to reduce the interferencecorrelation across different time slots. By utilizingstochastic geometry, we analytically derive themean local delay and energy efficiency (EE) of an uplinkHetNet with UE random DTX scheme under theDUDA mode. These expressions are further approximatedas closed forms under reasonable assumptions.Our results reveal that under the DUDA mode, there isan optimal EE with respect to mute probability underthe finite local delay constraint. In addition, with thesame finite mean local delay as under the coupled uplinkand downlink access (CUDA) mode, the HetNetsunder the DUDA mode can achieve a higher EE witha lower mute probability.展开更多

As the dose accumulates, the data pattern of memory cells loading during irradiation is gradually imprinted on their background data pattern. We build a relationship between the memory cell＇s static noise margin （SNM） and the background data, and study the influence of irradiation on the probability density function of ASNM, which is the difference between two data sides＇ SNMs, to discuss the reason for pattern imprinting. Finally, we demonstrate that, for micron and deep sub-micron devices, the mechanism of pattern imprinting is the bias-dependent threshold shift of the transistor, but for a deep sub-micron device the shift results from charge trapping in the shallow trench isolation （STI） oxide rather than from the gate oxide of the micron-device.展开更多

The improved RA scheme is realized by two steps. First, the improved RA scheme achieves a reasonable resource tradeoff between physical random access channel(PRACH) and physical uplink shared channel(PUSCH). To realize a low-complexity resource allocation between PRACH and PUSCH, a boundary of traffic load is derived to divide the number of active M2 M users(UEs) into multiple intervals. The corresponding resource allocation for these intervals is determined by e NB. Then the resource allocation for other number of UEs can be obtained from the allocation of these intervals with less computation. Second, the access barring on arrival rate of new UEs is introduced in the improved RA scheme to reduce the expected delay. Numerical results show that the proposed improved RA scheme can realize a low-complexity resource allocation between PRACH and PUSCH. Meanwhile, the expected delay can be effectively reduced by access barring on arriving rate of new M2 M UEs.展开更多

In this paper,we study the delay-optimal random access(RA) in large-scale energy harvesting IoT networks. We model a two-dimensional Markov decision process(MDP)to address the coupling between the data and energy queues, and adopt the mean field game(MFG) theory to reveal the coupling among the devices by utilizing the large-scale property. Specifically, to obtain the optimal access strategy for each device, we derive the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman(HJB) equation which requires the statistical information of other devices.Moreover, to model the evolution of the states distribution in the system, we derive the Fokker-PlanckKolmogorov(FPK) equation based on the access strategy of devices. By solving the two coupled equations,we obtain the delay-optimal random access solution in an iterative manner with Lax-Friedrichs method. Finally, the simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves significant performance gain compared with the conventional schemes.展开更多

The electrical thermal analysis of the BTL cell and the blade heater contactor structure by three-dimensional finite element modeling are compared with each other during RESET operation. The simulation results show that the programming region of the phase change layer in the BTL cell is much smaller, and thermal electrical distributions of the BTL cell are more concentrated on the TiN/GST interface. The results indicate that the BTL cell has the superiorities of increasing the heating efficiency, decreasing the power consumption and reducing the RESET current from 0.67mA to 0.32mA. Therefore, the BTL cell will be appropriate for high performance PCRAM device with lower power consumption and lower RESET current.展开更多

文摘Random access is a well-known multiple access method for uncoordinated communication nodes.Existing work mainly focuses on optimizing iterative access protocols,assuming that packets are corrupted once they are collided,or that feedback is available and can be exploited.In practice,a packet may still be able to be recovered successfully even when collided with other packets.System design and performance analysis under such a situation,particularly when the details of collision are taken into consideration,are less known.In this paper,we provide a framework for analytically evaluating the actual detection performance in a random temporal multiple access system where nodes can only transmit.Explicit expressions are provided for collision probability and signal to interference and noise ratio(SINR)when different numbers of packets are collided.We then discuss and compare two receiver options for the AP,and provide detailed receiver design for the premium one.In particular,we propose a synchronization scheme which can largely reduce the preamble length.We also demonstrate that system performance could be a convex function of preamble length both analytically and via simulation,as well as the forward error correction(FEC)coding rate.

文摘In this paper, a random access inter-satellite ranging(RAISR) system is designed. The ranging accuracy is optimized by an algorithm to greatly improve the ranging accuracy. This paper verifies the feasibility of the RAISR system through a series of theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, hardware system design and testing. The research work brings the solution to the design and accuracy optimization problem of the RAISR system,which eliminates the main error caused by the satellite dynamic characteristics and frequency source drift of the RAISR system.The accuracy of the measurement system has been significantly improved.

文摘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.
文摘This paper investigated phase change Si1Sb2Te3 material for application of chalcogenide random access memory. Current-voltage performance was conducted to determine threshold current of phase change from amorphous phase to polycrystalline phase. The film holds a threshold current about 0.155 mA, which is smaller than the value 0.31 mA of Ge2Sb2Te5 film. Amorphous Si1Sb2Te3 changes to face-centred-cubic structure at ~ 180℃ and changes to hexagonal structure at ~ 270℃. Annealing temperature dependent electric resistivity of Si1Sb2Te3 film was studied by four-point probe method. Data retention of the films was characterized as well.

文摘The era of information explosion is coming and information need to be continuously stored and randomly accessed over long-term periods,which constitute an insurmountable challenge for existing data centers.At present,computing devices use the von Neumann architecture with separate computing and memory units,which exposes the shortcomings of“memory bottleneck”.Nonvolatile memristor can realize data storage and in-memory computing at the same time and promises to overcome this bottleneck.Phase-change random access memory(PCRAM)is called one of the best solutions for next generation non-volatile memory.Due to its high speed,good data retention,high density,low power consumption,PCRAM has the broad commercial prospects in the in-memory computing application.In this review,the research progress of phase-change materials and device structures for PCRAM,as well as the most critical performances for a universal memory,such as speed,capacity,and power consumption,are reviewed.By comparing the advantages and disadvantages of phase-change optical disk and PCRAM,a new concept of optoelectronic hybrid storage based on phase-change material is proposed.Furthermore,its feasibility to replace existing memory technologies as a universal memory is also discussed as well.

文摘A magnetoresistive random-access memory(MRAM) device was irradiated by ^(60) Co c-rays and an electron beam.The synergistic effect of this on the MRAM was tested with an additional magnetic field during irradiation,from which the total ionizing dose(TID) and the synergistic damage mechanism of MRAM were analyzed.In addition,DC,AC,and functional parameters of the memory were tested under irradiation and annealing via a very large-scale integrated circuit test system.The radiation-sensitive parameters were obtained through analyzing the data.Because of the magnetic field applied on the MRAM while testing the synergistic effects,shallow trench isolation leakage and Frenkel–Poole emission due to synergistic effects were smaller than that of TID,and hence radiation damage of the synergistic effects was also lower.

文摘With energy harvesting capability, the Internet of things(IoT) devices transmit data depending on their available energy, which leads to a more complicated coupling and brings new technical challenges to delay optimization. In this paper,we study the delay-optimal random access(RA) in large-scale energy harvesting IoT networks. We model a two-dimensional Markov decision process(MDP)to address the coupling between the data and energy queues, and adopt the mean field game(MFG) theory to reveal the coupling among the devices by utilizing the large-scale property. Specifically, to obtain the optimal access strategy for each device, we derive the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman(HJB) equation which requires the statistical information of other devices.Moreover, to model the evolution of the states distribution in the system, we derive the Fokker-PlanckKolmogorov(FPK) equation based on the access strategy of devices. By solving the two coupled equations,we obtain the delay-optimal random access solution in an iterative manner with Lax-Friedrichs method. Finally, the simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves significant performance gain compared with the conventional schemes.

文摘An optimized device structure for reducing the RESET current of phase-change random access memory （PCRAM） with blade-type like （BTL） phase change layer is proposed. The electrical thermal analysis of the BTL cell and the blade heater contactor structure by three-dimensional finite element modeling are compared with each other during RESET operation. The simulation results show that the programming region of the phase change layer in the BTL cell is much smaller, and thermal electrical distributions of the BTL cell are more concentrated on the TiN/GST interface. The results indicate that the BTL cell has the superiorities of increasing the heating efficiency, decreasing the power consumption and reducing the RESET current from 0.67mA to 0.32mA. Therefore, the BTL cell will be appropriate for high performance PCRAM device with lower power consumption and lower RESET current.
