RAW online regrouping method in IEEE 802.11ah protocol for industrial Internet of things by Yanjing SUN, Junqiu YANG, Yan CHEN, Yanfen WANG, Xiaojing CHEN, Fengzhen LIU, Zhi SUN

“…Aiming at the problem that the standard RAW mechanism cannot adjust to changes in the network and the grouping depends on continuous AIDs,a RAW regrouping method based on a pseudo-random sequence was proposed.The AP assigned a pseudo-random sequence to the node as the address code during the association phase,and used compound code to carry groups information during the grouping phase.It implemented online regrouping of discontinuous AID nodes and reduced the overhead of regrouping.In order to rationally allocate resources in RAW and solve the problem of load imbalance between groups,a RAW regrouping method based on expected channel time was proposed.Based on channel utilization,the RAW groups,RAW duration,and numbers of RAW were optimized.NS3 simulation results show that the proposed method significantly improves the performance of IEEE 802.11ah protocol networks.…”

Block Markov superposition transmission over turbulence channels in outdoor optical wireless communication by Jin-shun ZHU, Xiao MA

“…Based on the equivalent genie-aided system,the bit-error rate of the block Markov superposition transmission system was analyzed and the union bound of the bit-error rate of the genie-aided system was derived.When the bit-error rate was extremely low at which the Monte Carlo simulation was time-consuming,the union bound could be adopted to evaluate the performance of the block Markov superposition transmission system.Simulations under turbulence conditions from weak to strong are performed which show that,in the low bit-error rate region,performance of the block Markov superposition transmission system matches well with the lower bound.It is also illustrated that the derived union bound matches well with Monte Carlo simulation result.At the BER of 10^-5,block Markov superposition transmission system with transmission memory 2 performs within 1 dB away from the Shannon limit.…”
