Adaptive loading process was applied to the OFDM signals to overcome the bandwidth limitation of RSOAs. The I and Q channel data streams in the OFDM signals were separately carried on individual optical carriers with different wavelengths without Hermitian Symmetry for baseband transmission. Our proposed scheme was experimentally demonstrated using a periodic property of free spectral range (FSR) in a wavelength multiplexer. The separated optical “dual” carriers were provided by the same port of a wavelength multiplexer to reduce the number of used WDM channels for a upstream.","PeriodicalId":194465,"journal":{"name":"DCNET/ICE-B/OPTICS","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122861553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The concept of multi-wavelength signal buffering is adopted, to realize a shared buffer with an important storage capacity. We propose the organization of the buffer in two loops, the first as a delay loop and the second as an amplification loop, to improve the buffering duration and performances. The memory implementation is demonstrated using optical components such as fiber Bragg gratings (FBG), circulator and tunable wavelength converter. An all-optical control unit is designed to provide a dynamic and automatic signal buffer managing. An analytical model is implemented and a simulations set is done to prove that the proposed architecture is able to confine several signals for a relatively long time as a memory and signals can leave the architecture for a reasonably short delay after the departure decision is taken. The low penalty observed shows good system reliability.","PeriodicalId":194465,"journal":{"name":"DCNET/ICE-B/OPTICS","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128658246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Trace files produced by NS-2 provide very useful information for post simulation analysis. This paper presents the architecture and development considerations for a TRAce FILe analysis tool, which intends to simplify the management of trace files generated during network simulations. The tool is focused on NS-2 trace files, but can be extended to handle a variety of simulation trace files formats. Its purpose is to make the execution of a large number of network simulations faster, and the extraction of results from a large amount of data more flexible and productive. TRAFIL introduces a novel way of interpreting, parsing, reading and eventually utilizing NS-2 trace files by using \"metafiles\" and \"sub-metafiles\" during the trace file recognition and process procedures, making the overall operations more abstract, substantially efficient and faster than alternative approaches. Furthermore, TRAFIL facilitates the whole trace file analysis task, offering the opportunity to store each trace file as well as every measurement produced for each trace file.

In order to achieve our research goals, we survey 1,421 primary and secondary school students, and then do factor, regression, and dominance analyses.

This limitation is mainly due to the assumption that data are precise, not noisy. Therefore, classic models propose a preprocessing stage for noise removal and data conversion. However, there are real applications where this data preprocessing stage dramatically lowers the accuracy of the results, since these data being filtering out are of great relevance. In the case of the real problem we propose in this research, the diagnosis of cardiopulmonary pathologies by means of fitness tests, detailed fluctuations in the data (usually filtered out by preprocessing methods) are key components for characterizing a pathology. We plan to model time-series data from fitness tests in order to characterize more precise and complete patterns than those being currently used for the diagnosis of cardiopulmonary pathologies. We will develop similarity measures and clustering algorithms for the automatic identification of novel, refined, types of diagnoses; classification algorithms for the automatic assignment of a diagnosis to a given test result.","PeriodicalId":194465,"journal":{"name":"DCNET/ICE-B/OPTICS","volume":"338 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127548597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
