A novel modular handover algorithm with a comprehensive load index for the 5th generation (5G) heterogeneous networks (HetNets) is proposed. In this paper, the handover parameters, serving as the basis for handover, are classified into network's quality of service (QoS) module, user preference (UP) module and degree of satisfaction (DS) module according to the new modular HDS design. To optimize switching process, the comprehensive network load index is deduced by using triangle module fusion operator. With respect to the existing handover algorithm, the simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm can reduce the handover frequency and maintain user satisfaction at a higher level. Meanwhile, due to its block calculation, it can bring about 1.4 s execution time improvement.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":35359,"journal":{"name":"Journal of China Universities of Posts and Telecommunications","volume":"24 2","pages":"Pages 57-65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S1005-8885(17)60199-7","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72214249","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}

A location-aided probabilistic broadcast (LAPB) algorithm for routing in MANET is proposed to reduce the number of routing packets produced by flooding in this paper. In order to reduce the redundancy packets, only nodes in a specific area have the probability, computed by location information and neighbor knowledge, to propagate the routing packets.

First, an over-complete dictionary matrix is constructed using sufficient raw tri-axis acceleration data labeled with phone placement information.

Finally, residual values are calculated and the minimum value is selected as the indicator to obtain the recognition results.

This structure can realize simultaneous multi-band frequency conversion with only one frequency-fixed microwave source and prevent generating harmful interference sidebands by using two corresponding optical filters after optical modulation. In the simulation, one C-band signal of 6 GHz carrier can be successfully converted to 12 GHz (Ku-band), 28 GHz, 34 GHz, 40 GHz, 46 GHz (Ka-band) and 52 GHz (V-band), which can be an attractive method to realize multi-band microwave photonic satellite repeater.
