The offset-time-based QoS scheme has been proposed for the next generation Optical Internet as a way to improve current IP’s best effort service. For a single node, it has been shown that the offset-time-based scheme efficiently achieves service differentiation without requiring any buffer at the WDM layer. In this paper, the offset-time-based scheme is applied to the multi-hop case. To this en...

The description and performance analysis of a new OFDM/DQPSK signal receiver is considered in this paper. The proposed receiver has performance that is close to the performance for the coherent detection of the OFDM/DQPSK signal, in case of zero carrier frequency offset. In case of non-zero frequency offset, receiver with decision feedback differential detection (DFDD-OFDM) is often used in the...

Mental time travel refers to the ability of an organism to project herself backward and forward in time, using episodic memory and imagination to simulate past and future experiences. The evolution of mental time travel gives humans a unique capacity for prospection: the ability to pre-experience the future. Discussions of mental time travel treat it as an instance of explicit prospection. We a...

Two new synchronization strategies are developed for signalized grids of two-directional streets. Both found to reduce congestion significantly more than do other approaches. One the is static and adaptive. use a common timing pattern all signals on grid but different offset each. The strategy serves morning rush by providing perfect forward progression streets in directions that point toward r...
