Since it was proved that fi nding the optimal set of lost packets for XOR-ing is a complex NP-complete problem, the available time-based retransmission scheme and its enhanced retransmission scheme have exponential computational complexity and thus are not scalable to large networks. In this paper, we present an efficient heuristic scheme based on hypergraph coloring and also its enhanced heuristic scheme to improve the transmission efficiency. Basically, our proposed schemes fi rst create a hypergraph according to the packet-loss matrix. Then our schemes solve the problem of generating XORed packets by coloring the edges of hypergraph. Extensive simulation results demonstrate that, the heuristic scheme based on hypergraph coloring and its enhanced scheme can achieve almost the same transmission efficiency as the available ones, but have much lower computational complexity, which is very important for the wireless devices without high computation capacity.展开更多

But the systems are very low in transmission efficiency, only 5-10 bits/s, with very large anti-inter-symbol-interference (ISI). It cannot meet high requirements for high-speed transmission of modern logging system. The development of communication technology has laid some foundation for this requirement. For this purpose, the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) Wireless Downhole Transmission Systems are proposed for the first time because of their high transmission rate, anti-inter-symbol-interference (ISI), and high spectral efficiency, etc. Due to non-linear power amplifier (PA) of logging systems with limited dynamic range, the drawbacks of high peak-average power ratio (PAPR) may outweigh all the potential benefits of OFDM wireless downhole transmission systems. Selective mapping (SLM) method can reduce the PAPR of OFDM logging signals without distortion. But at the receiver, the conventional SLM method needs exact bits of side information (SI) to recover the data signal. The probability of erroneous SI detection has a significant influence on the error performance of the system. And individual transmissions of SI result in the reduction of bandwidth efficiency. To restore the exact data signal, our scheme codes the SI bits by linear block codes (LBC), and is easily decoded by syndrome decoding. And then the coding SI bits are superimposed onto the logging signals to omit SI bits transmission. The theory and simulation results show that the proposed method has better performance than the conventional one. Accordingly, the OFDM wireless downhole transmission systems can tackle the high PAPR problem, and highten the transmission rate of logging signals.展开更多

The method is based on controlling and optimizing carrier frequencies which are used in data links between network nods. In UWA channels Pathloss and noise power spectrum density (psd) are related to carrier frequency. Therefore, unlike radio communications, in UWA Communications signal to noise ratio (SNR) is related to frequency besides propagation link length. In such channels an optimum frequency in whole frequency band and link lengths cannot be found. In Cooperative transmission, transmitter sends one copy of transmitted data packets to relay node. Then relay depending on cooperation scheme, amplifies or decodes each data packet and retransmit it to destination. Receiver uses and combines both received signals to estimate transmitted data. This paper wants to propose a new method to decrease network power consumptions by controlling and sub-optimizing transmission frequency based on link length. For this purpose, underwater channel parameters is simulated and analyzed in 1km to 10km lengths (midrange channel). Then link lengths sub categorized and in each category, optimum frequency is computed. With these sub optimum frequencies, sensors and base station can adaptively control their carrier frequencies based on link length and decrease network’s power consumptions. Finally Different Cooperative transmission schemes “Decode and Forward (DF)” and “Amplify and Forward (AF)”, are simulated in UWA wireless Sensor network with and without the new method. In receiver maximum ratio combiner (MRC) is used to combining received signals and making data estimations. Simulations show that the new method, called AFC cooperative UWA communication, can improve performance of underwater acoustic wireless sensor networks up to 40.14%.展开更多

The algorithm fills in blocks of missing data in a wireless image after transmission through the network. When images are transmitted over fading channels, especially in the severe circum- stances of a coal mine, blocks of the image may be destroyed by the effects of noise. Instead of using com- mon retransmission query protocols the lost data is reconstructed by using the adaptive curvature-driven diffusion (ACDD) image restoration algorithm in the gradient domain of the destroyed image. Missing blocks are restored by the method in two steps: In step one, the missing blocks are filled in the gradient domain by the ACDD algorithm; in step two, and the image is reconstructed from the reformed gradients by solving a Poisson equation. The proposed method eliminates the staircase effect and accelerates the convergence rate. This is demonstrated by experimental results.展开更多

In the realization process of wird^ power transmission, the key point lies in the transmission efficiency and power transmission capability. However, wireless trans-mission still has some disadvantages in these two aspects. In this case, there is an air gap between the transmitting winding and the receiving winding. If it is too large and the coupling coefficient is too low, in view of this situation, it is necessary to carry out re-search from aspects such as raising the coupling coefficient and controlling the air gap. The article firstly describes the development ofwireless power transmission technology and transmission principles, etc. Secondly, it analyzes the output control ofwireless power fransmission systems. Uird,it conducts simulation analysis using loosely coupling transfomers and proposes an optimized solution. The simulation design and inspection process were proposed. The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the current wireless energy transmission system and clarify the direction in which it should be strengthened. The significance of this study is to provide a feasible direction for the further optimization of the wireless energy transmission system.展开更多

The proposed scheme predicts the wireless resources by using statistical channel state and provides maximum retransmission count optimization based on wireless channel environment state to improve the packet delivery success ratio. The media access control （MAC） layer selects the best-retransmission count by perceiving the types of packet loss in wireless link and using the wireless channel charac- teristics and environment information, and adjusts the packet for- warding adaptively aiming at improving the packet retransmission probability. Simulation results show that the best-retransmission count selected scheme achieves a higher packet successful delivery percentage and a lower packet collision probability than the corresponding traditional MAC transmission control protocols.展开更多

This module consists of an air-core coil and resonant capacitor. With a simple RLC circuit model, it can derive an equation of harvesting energy as a function of coil size. In order to demonstrate the magnetic field, a uniform magnetic field is generated by the developed coil system. From the experimented results, it is successfully demonstrated 100 mW of energy harvesting from a magnetic field of 0.09 mT at 60 Hz. This value is in good agreement with the estimated results. Harvested energy is proportional to the square of the magnetic flux density. However, ICNIRP2010 provides a guideline that an acceptable level for human health in a public space is 0.2 mT at power-line frequency. This paper also discuss the possibilities of several applications related with both magnetic energy harvesting and wireless power transmission.展开更多

文摘In this paper a new method to improve performance of cooperative underwater acoustic (UWA) sensor networks will be introduced. The method is based on controlling and optimizing carrier frequencies which are used in data links between network nods. In UWA channels Pathloss and noise power spectrum density (psd) are related to carrier frequency. Therefore, unlike radio communications, in UWA Communications signal to noise ratio (SNR) is related to frequency besides propagation link length. In such channels an optimum frequency in whole frequency band and link lengths cannot be found. In Cooperative transmission, transmitter sends one copy of transmitted data packets to relay node. Then relay depending on cooperation scheme, amplifies or decodes each data packet and retransmit it to destination. Receiver uses and combines both received signals to estimate transmitted data. This paper wants to propose a new method to decrease network power consumptions by controlling and sub-optimizing transmission frequency based on link length. For this purpose, underwater channel parameters is simulated and analyzed in 1km to 10km lengths (midrange channel). Then link lengths sub categorized and in each category, optimum frequency is computed. With these sub optimum frequencies, sensors and base station can adaptively control their carrier frequencies based on link length and decrease network’s power consumptions. Finally Different Cooperative transmission schemes “Decode and Forward (DF)” and “Amplify and Forward (AF)”, are simulated in UWA wireless Sensor network with and without the new method. In receiver maximum ratio combiner (MRC) is used to combining received signals and making data estimations. Simulations show that the new method, called AFC cooperative UWA communication, can improve performance of underwater acoustic wireless sensor networks up to 40.14%.

文摘Curvature-driven diffusion (CDD) principles were used to develop a novel gradient based image restora- tion algorithm. The algorithm fills in blocks of missing data in a wireless image after transmission through the network. When images are transmitted over fading channels, especially in the severe circum- stances of a coal mine, blocks of the image may be destroyed by the effects of noise. Instead of using com- mon retransmission query protocols the lost data is reconstructed by using the adaptive curvature-driven diffusion (ACDD) image restoration algorithm in the gradient domain of the destroyed image. Missing blocks are restored by the method in two steps: In step one, the missing blocks are filled in the gradient domain by the ACDD algorithm; in step two, and the image is reconstructed from the reformed gradients by solving a Poisson equation. The proposed method eliminates the staircase effect and accelerates the convergence rate. This is demonstrated by experimental results.
文摘The inductive wireless power transmission system is actually applied to the principle of magnetic field coupling, com- bined with the flexibility of the electrical equipment to achieve flexible and safe power supply. In the realization process of wird^ power transmission, the key point lies in the transmission efficiency and power transmission capability. However, wireless trans-mission still has some disadvantages in these two aspects. In this case, there is an air gap between the transmitting winding and the receiving winding. If it is too large and the coupling coefficient is too low, in view of this situation, it is necessary to carry out re-search from aspects such as raising the coupling coefficient and controlling the air gap. The article firstly describes the development ofwireless power transmission technology and transmission principles, etc. Secondly, it analyzes the output control ofwireless power fransmission systems. Uird,it conducts simulation analysis using loosely coupling transfomers and proposes an optimized solution. The simulation design and inspection process were proposed. The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the current wireless energy transmission system and clarify the direction in which it should be strengthened. The significance of this study is to provide a feasible direction for the further optimization of the wireless energy transmission system.

文摘A microstrip loop resonator loaded with a lumped capacitor is proposed for short-range wireless power transmission applications.The overall physical dimensions of the proposed loop resonator configuration are as small as 3 cm by 3 cm.Power transmission efficiency of greater than 80%is achieved with a power transmission distance smaller than 5 mm via the strong coupling between two loop resonators around 1 GHz,as demonstrated by simulations and measurements.Experimental results also show that the power transmission performance is insensitive to various geometrical misalignments.The numerical and experimental results of this paper reveal a bandwidth of more than 50 MHz within which the power transmission efficiency is above 80%.As a result,the proposed microstrip loop resonator has the potential to accomplish efficient wireless power transmission and high-speed(higher than 10 Mbit/s)wireless communication simultaneously.

文摘This paper studies a simultaneous wireless information and power transfer system with multiple external eavesdroppers and internal curious users.We model the random network by Poisson cluster process in consideration of the case where eavesdroppers hide around certain targets.Focusing on the users that work in harvesting-transmitting mode with time switching receivers,we establish communication model via time division multiple access.On this basis,we propose a lightweight secure transmission scheme based on dual-thresholds for physical-layer security enhancement,which consists of two protocols applied to the downlink(DL) and uplink(UL) transmission respectively.In the DL,we design a dynamic information-power switching transmission protocol based on signal-to-noise ratio threshold,which provides an opportunistic approach to reform the fixed period allocation of information and power transfer;in the UL,an energy threshold is proposed for users to control the transmission,which is called a user-led on-off transmission protocol.Furthermore,we give a comprehensive performance analysis for the proposed scheme in terms of delay,reliability,security and secrecy throughput.Based on the analysis results,we optimize the two thresholds and the DL-UL allocationcoefficient to maximize the secrecy throughput.Simulation results show the proposed scheme can bring about a substantial secrecy gain.

文摘This paper proposes an environment-aware best- retransmission count selected optimization control scheme over IEEE 802.11 multi-hop wireless networks. The proposed scheme predicts the wireless resources by using statistical channel state and provides maximum retransmission count optimization based on wireless channel environment state to improve the packet delivery success ratio. The media access control （MAC） layer selects the best-retransmission count by perceiving the types of packet loss in wireless link and using the wireless channel charac- teristics and environment information, and adjusts the packet for- warding adaptively aiming at improving the packet retransmission probability. Simulation results show that the best-retransmission count selected scheme achieves a higher packet successful delivery percentage and a lower packet collision probability than the corresponding traditional MAC transmission control protocols.
文摘This paper presents a theoretical design method for a magnetic energy harvesting module. This module consists of an air-core coil and resonant capacitor. With a simple RLC circuit model, it can derive an equation of harvesting energy as a function of coil size. In order to demonstrate the magnetic field, a uniform magnetic field is generated by the developed coil system. From the experimented results, it is successfully demonstrated 100 mW of energy harvesting from a magnetic field of 0.09 mT at 60 Hz. This value is in good agreement with the estimated results. Harvested energy is proportional to the square of the magnetic flux density. However, ICNIRP2010 provides a guideline that an acceptable level for human health in a public space is 0.2 mT at power-line frequency. This paper also discuss the possibilities of several applications related with both magnetic energy harvesting and wireless power transmission.
