This paper proposes a biological cell-based communication protocol to enable communication between biological nanodevices. Inspired by existing communication network protocols, our solution combines two molecular computing techniques (DNA and enzyme computing), to design a protocol stack for molecular communication networks. Based on computational requirements of each layer of the stack, our so...

In this paper, we propose an inter-domain mobility support protocol in PMIPv6 networks using overlap function of Mobile Access Gateway. In the proposed protocol an MN maintain active communication sessions without mobility protocol stacks when the MN moves into another local mobility domain. Thus the proposed protocol retains the advantages of PMIPv6 for inter-domain mobility support. This prot...

Universality is an important feature, but less researched in quantum communication protocols. In this paper, a kind of universal quantum secret sharing protocol is investigated. Firstly, we design a quantum secret sharing protocol based on the Borras-Plastino-Batle (BPB) state. Departing from previous research, our protocol has a salient feature in that participants in our protocol only need pr...

background: recently different studies suggested that discontinuation of gonadotrophin releasing hormone analogue (gnrha) at beginning of ovarian stimulation (improvement of ovarian response to gonadotrophins) may have some benefit to poor responder patients in invitro fertilization (ivf) cycles. objective:the efficacy of gnrha stop protocol in poor responder patients in ivf cycles was assessed...

objective: this study was conducted to compare the results of fixed versus flexible gnrh antagonist protocols in controlled ovarian stimulation for intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (icsi) in patients with pcos. materials and methods: a randomized clinical trial was performed on 100 pcos women, who were admitted to a tertiary infertility clinic and were candidate for ivf/icsi. they were divided...

A timely protocol to solve the distributed consensus problem that tolerates process crashes and message omissions is described. The protocol is optimal in terms of the number of communication steps needed to achieve consensus. The model on which the protocol is based relies on a priority-based communication network, a kind of network commonly used in practice to support real-time systems.

This white paper describes the unique challenges associated with high speed digital communication over existing in-building powerlines. The solutions provided by the 14 Mbps HomePlug 1.0 protocol are described and an overview of the 200 Mbps HomePlug AV protocol is given. The latter protocol is optimized for multimedia voice and video services, while also providing high speed data communication.
