Integrated Substrate Gap Waveguide (ISGW) is a newly proposed planar waveguide, which has the characteristics of low loss, easy integration and self-encapsulation, and is especially suitable for millimeter wave systems. Related waveguides have been widely used in the research and design of millimeter wave devices and antennas. However, no theoretical study has been made on the propagation characteristics of the waveguide, such as dispersion and characteristic impedance. Therefore, this paper will use conformal mapping method to study the characteristic impedance of ISGW waveguide.

User-facing applications running in modern datacenters exhibit irregular request patterns and are implemented using a multitude of services with tight latency requirements (30--250μs). These characteristics render existing energy-conserving techniques ineffective when processors are idle due to the long transition time (order of 100μs) from a deep CPU core idle power state (C-state). While prior works propose management techniques to mitigate this inefficiency, we tackle it at its root with AgileWatts (AW): a new deep CPU core C-state architecture optimized for datacenter server processors targeting latency-sensitive *** drastically reduces the transition latency from deep CPU core idle power states while retaining most of their power savings based on three key ideas. First, AW eliminates the latency (several microseconds) of saving/restoring the core context when powering-off/-on the core in a deep idle state by i) implementing medium-grained power-gates, carefully distributed across the CPU core, and ii) retaining context in the power-ungated domain. Second, AW eliminates the flush latency (several tens of microseconds) of the L1/L2 caches when entering a deep idle state by keeping L1/L2 content power-ungated. A small control logic also remains ungated to serve cache coherence traffic. AW implements cache sleep-mode and leakage reduction for the power-ungated domain by lowering a core's voltage to the minimum operational level. Third, using a state-of-the-art power efficient all-digital phase-locked loop (ADPLL) clock generator, AW keeps the PLL active and locked during the idle state, cutting microseconds of wake-up latency at negligible power *** evaluation with an accurate industrial-grade simulator calibrated against an Intel Skylake server shows that AW reduces the energy consumption of Memcached by up to 71% (35% on average) with <1% end-to-end performance degradation. We observe similar trends for other evaluated services (MySQL and Kafka).

With the rapid development of wireless communication, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) networks have received extensive attention and been applied in many fields, but some challenges exist in their applications, such as the issue of security when implementing communication. In this paper, a virtual antenna array (VAA) is formed in multiple UAV units using collaborative beamforming (CB) technology. Under the interference of multiple eavesdroppers, secure communication with the ground base station (BS) is achieved. To achieve better performance, we formulate a multi-objective optimization problem for UAV network security communication (SCMOP), and jointly optimize the positions and excitation current weights of UAVs to set the null values in the direction of known eavesdroppers, reduce the sidelobe levels (SLLs) and enhance the directivity of the main lobe (ML). Since the formulated SCMOP is an NP-hard problem, we propose an improved the third non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (IMNSGA-III) with chaos operator and crossover and mutation operators to solve the problem in this paper. The simulation results show that the IMNSGA-III can solve the SCMOP well and obtain the best results compared with other benchmark algorithms.

We consider a fully-decoupled radio access network (FD-RAN), where base stations (BSs) are physically decoupled into control BSs, uplink BSs and downlink BSs, and multi-connectivity becomes the default user equipment (UE) association mode. Specifically, we study the inter-frequency multi-connectivity in downlink of FD-RAN and present a deep reinforcement learning based online multi-connectivity mobility management scheme. We formulate a UE dynamic multiple access problem and transform it into a handover decision problem, then apply the double deep Q-network (DDQN) algorithm to make real time mobility management decisions. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms benchmarks in terms of handover frequency and quality of service, while ensuring real-time performance.

This paper addresses the tracking problem of an omnidirectional mobile robot (OMR), which is a second-order electromechanical system with unmatched uncertainties and disturbances. The control inputs are the currents of the motors, and the control objective is the tracking control of the real-time position and orientation for the robot. The main features of this paper are summarized as follows. (1) Both the kinematic and the dynamic models for a standard OMR are presented, which explicitly defines the unknown physical parameters of the system as well as the specific mathematical form of disturbances. (2) A new OMR control scheme is proposed based on adaptive back-stepping techniques. It is shown that the OMR can asymptotically track the desired trajectory with any orientation. (3) In addition to numerical simulations, a real OMR experiment platform is established. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme has been verified with both simulation and experimental results.

This paper presents an effective method based on the concept of indium tin oxide (ITO) films designed metamaterial absorber to achieve unequal power divider. The structural unit of the proposed metamaterial absorber consists of three films, a foam dielectric substrate and a metallic copper. By properly adjusting the resonance of the structure, an optimized metamaterial absorption rate of greater than 90% from 21 to 35 GHz is achieved, and a strong absorption effect of ultra-broadband for incident electromagnetic waves at different polarization angles and different incidence angles is achieved, which is in good agreement with the numerical simulation results, and an equivalent circuit model is extracted to explain its operation mechanism. The designed metamaterial is loaded on an Integrated Substrate Gap Waveguide (ISGW) based power divider. Simulation results show that the 4:1 unequal power divider achieves a relative bandwidth of 24% in the operating band 22–28 GHz, and the isolation is better than 15dB, and the return loss is greater than 10dB.
