This paper proposes a dynamic spectrum access system for underground wireless communication——a dynamic spectrum sharing system under interference temperature constrains. It can make the best of spectrum resources and improve the utilization efficiency. Then, a multi-dimensional Markov chain is used to model the system. On the basis, the secondary users’ performance under interference temperatur...

REsource LOcation And Discovery (RELOAD) is a peer-to-peer (P2P) signaling protocol that provides an overlay network service. Peers in a RELOAD overlay network collectively run an overlay algorithm to organize the overlay and to store and retrieve data. This document describes how the default topology plugin of RELOAD can be extended to support self-tuning, that is, to adapt to changing operati...

We report the first successful experiment on Point-toMultipoint (P2MP) VLAN path establishment on the overlay-model-based GMPLS-controlled wide area Ethernet. To support the overlay model, P2MP VLAN path signaling with egress output port indication is proposed and implemented. It is confirmed that our extended RSVP-TE software can correctly establish P2MP VLAN paths in the overlay-model network...

We address the question: What is the best way to construct a mesh overlay topology for multimedia content distribution, such that the highest streaming rate can be achieved? We model overlay capacity correlations as linear capacity constraints (LCC) and propose a distributed algorithm that constructs an overlay mesh which incorporates heuristically inferred linear capacity constraints. Our simu...

The subtitles on video are very useful for us to understand video's contents. If we can extract text information from the subtitles, it will be very helpful to establish a database of video’s content that includes annotations and indexes. To extract text from videos, most text detection and extraction methods use the text color, background contrast, and texture information. However, the limitat...

We previously demonstrated that collagen gel overlay induced cell remodeling to form lumen and apoptosis in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. In the present study, we established that collagen gel overlay-induced apoptosis was initiated at areas exclusive of cell remodeling within 24 h (first phase) and extended into areas of cell remodeling within 48 h (second phase). Collagen gel overlay-induc...

Polytope complexes are the generalisation of polygon meshes in geoinformation systems (GIS) to arbitrary dimension, and a natural concept for accessing spatio-temporal information. Complexes of each dimension have a straightforward dimension-independent database representation called Relational Complex. Accordingly, complex overlay is the corresponding generalisation of map overlay in GIS to ar...

Overlay networks are a technique whereby application developers create virtual customized networks on top of physical networks. Recent implementations of peer-to-peer applications such as file sharing and VoIP have increasingly meant that overlay networks have almost become ubiquitous. As a result, future overlay networks will increasingly coexist on the same node. A number of middleware framew...
