Improving community structure strategy for efficiently enhancing Internet transmission performance by Jun CAI, Shun-zheng YU

“…An efficient weakening community structure strategy (WCS) by adding links to the existing networks was propose,which could enhance Internet transmission performance.Internet topology reconstruction could be realized by WCS strategy,because lightpaths that represent logical links between nodes could achieve the same high performance as physical links by means of optically bypassing intermediate nodes.The performance of the proposed strategy was investigated in pseudo random networks with community structure scale-free network with community structure and Internet,topology respectively,for both local routing strategy and global shortest-path routing strategy.The experimental results show that the traffic capacity of networks and the average shortest path are considerably improved by adding a few links among communities.…”

Improving Retrieval Performance of Case Based Reasoning Systems by Fuzzy Clustering by F. Saadi, Baghdad Atmani, F. Henni

“…The results of the experimentations show that the integration of the FCM algorithm in the retrieval step reduces the search space (the large volume of information), resolves the problem of the vagueness of medical information, speeds up the calculation and response time, and increases the search efficiency, which further improves the performance of the retrieval step and, consequently, the CBR system.…”

SINR performance analysis of DFT spread generalized multi-carrier system by RUI Yun1, LI Ming-qi1, ZHOU Qin-ying1, ZHANG Xiao-dong1, YI Hui-yue1, HU Hong-lin1

“…A signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio（SINR） performance analysis method of discrete fourier transform spread generalized multi-carrier（DFT-S-GMC） system was proposed.The closed-form SINR expression based on simpli-fied frequency-domain equivalent implementation structure and MMSE equalization for receiver is derived by channel frequency response and noise variance,considering inter-block（IFBT symbol） residual interference multiplexed in time domain.Moreover,it can be easily extended to multi-receive antenna.By simulation results,it is shown that with pro-posed equivalent SINR,the BLock error rate（BLER） performance of DFT-S-GMC over slow fading channel is well matched with that over AWGN channel.…”
