Charge transport based analysis and simulation of polarization in a semiconductor nanodimer are computationally intensive. A point-dipole decomposition formulation to facilitate time-efficient estimation of the total dipole moment induced by a terahertz electric field on a semiconductor nanodimer is presented. Coupling interactions among the constituent dipoles characterized by their effective local fields provide the basis for a system of algebraic equations from which the total polarization of the dimer can be obtained. Numerical results by this formulation are in very good agreement with that obtained with a finite-element simulation tool applied directly on the nanodimer, with provision to account for space-charge effects.","PeriodicalId":443426,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE USNC-CNC-URSI North American Radio Science Meeting (Joint with AP-S Symposium)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130646742","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}

To solve the potential problems of information transmission quality and energy consumption in WSN, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is adopted to collect the observation information from sensors and charge them. In this paper, a two-layer task assignment strategy is proposed to realize the information collection (IC) and energy charging (EC) in WSN. Firstly, the whole monitoring area of wireless sensor network is divided into multiple subregions. According to the task needs of each subregions, base station will send different multi-UAV teams to perform IC and EC tasks on these subregions. Then, to minimize the flight paths of multi-UAV team in each subregions, consensus-based bundle algorithm is used to generate corresponding task assignment schedules. Simulations demonstrate that the proposed two-layer task assignment strategy ensures that sensors in the WSN can upload observation promptly and have sufficient energy.","PeriodicalId":443426,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE USNC-CNC-URSI North American Radio Science Meeting (Joint with AP-S Symposium)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134108064","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}

This paper shows that utilizing the dielectric cube can increase the bandwidth of the transition on thin substrates.

Thus, this paper focuses on the user association problem in ultradense HetNet, aiming at maximizing system throughput. Then a difference based matching algorithm is proposed, in which the achievable rate difference between the current request and the next request is taken into account when multiple IoT users compete for the access opportunity with the same low power points (LPPs).
