Power allocation algorithm for cognitive radio energy harvesting networks based on energy cooperation by Zhen-wei XIE, Qi ZHU

“…An algorithm to optimize the power allocation by maximizing the system throughput in cognitive radio energy harvesting networks was proposed.The algorithm formulated the throughput optimization model subject to the causality constraints of the harvested energy within the two secondary users and the interference constraint of the primary user.In addition,by applying the variable-substitution method and problem equivalence transformation,the joint optimization problem of power and cooperative energy was decoupled into two problems:a power allocation problem and a cooperative energy one.The former problem could be solved by iterating the two decoupled problems.As shown in the simulation results,the energy cooperation can significantly improve the system throughput when the harvested energy difference between two nodes is rather large.…”

Vector Bond Graph Method of Kineto-static Analysis for Planar Multi-body System with Gear Pair by Wang Zhongshuang, Zhao Yanwei, Tao Yangyang, Cao Jianguo

“…In order to increase the reliability and efficiency of the kineto-static analysis of complex planar multi-body system,the corresponding vector bond graph method is proposed.According to the kinematic constraint condition,the vector bond graph model of a gear pair with arbitrary tooth profile of tooth is built.Based on this,the theoretical method to build the planar multi-body systems model with gear pair by vector bond graph is given.For the algebraic difficulties brought by differential causality and nonlinear junction structure in modeling and kineto-static analysis of planar multi-body systems with gear pair,the effective bond graph augment method is proposed.By the corresponding algorithm,the computer aided modeling and kineto-static analysis of planar multi-body system with gear pair on a computer is realized,the validity of this method is illustrated.…”

Design and analysis of active queue management algorithm based on predictive control by WANG Ping, CHEN Hong, LU Xiao-hui

“…Model predictive control as a novel active queue management（AQM） algorithm was proposed for Internet system with large delay,called MPAQM.Considering the causality of time-delay system,the predicted output was defined.Then,the control requirement was converted to the optimal control objective,and the drop probability was obtained by solving the optimal problem.Furthermore,the delay-independent stability condition of closed-loop system was derived,which gave the guidelines how to select the parameters of MPAQM algorithm to assure the stability and fast convergence of the network system.The performances of MPAQM were evaluated through a series of simulations in NS2 under the single/multiple topology.The simulation results show that the queue length with MPAQM algorithm reaches the desired value with minimal tracking error and lower drop probability.MPAQM algorithm outperforms RED,PI and SPI-RED algorithms in terms of disturbance rejection,stability,and robustness.…”
