Terahertz wireless nano-sensor networks (WNSNs) are novel networks interconnecting multiple nano-devices by means of wireless communication. In this paper, a centralized energy harvesting-based time division multiple access (TDMA) protocol, called CEH-TDMA is proposed. This protocol examines the data transmission process from a global perspective, where the nano-controller regulates the channel access and allocates time slots for all nano-nodes. First, each nano-node sends the remaining energy and the number of packets in its data buffer to the nano-controller, and then, the nano-controller constructs a Markov decision process (MDP) model according to the state information of all nano-nodes, where the energy consumption and the number of transmitted packets in the entire network are considered as impact factors in designing the award function in the MDP model. Finally, a globally optimal slot allocation strategy is obtained, which maximizes the amount of packet transmission in the perpetual WNSNs.

The power control in CDMA systems, grant numerous users to share resources of the system uniformly between each other, leading to expand capacity. With convenient power control, capacity of CDMA system is immense in contrast of frequency division multiple access (FDMA) and time division multiple access (TDMA). If power control is not achieved numerous problems such as the near-far effect will start to monopolize and consequently will reduce the capacity of the CDMA system. However, when the power control in CDMA systems is implemented, it allows numerous users to share resources of the system uniformly between themselves, leading to increased capacity For power control in CDMA system optimization algorithms i.e. genetic algorithm & particle swarm algorithm can be used which regulate a convenient power vector. These power vector or power levels are dogged at the base station and announce to mobile units to alter their transmitting power in accordance to these levels. The performances of the algorithms are inspected through both analysis and computer simulations, and compared with well-known algorithms from the literature.

Abstract The very high frequency data exchange system (VDES) is promising in promoting electronic navigation (E-navigation) and improving navigation safety. The multiple access control (MAC) protocol is crucial to the transmission performance of VDES. The self-organising time division multiple access (SOTDMA) protocol, as the only access mode given by current recommendations, leads to a high rate of transmission collisions in the traditional automatic identification system (AIS), especially with heavy traffic loads. This paper proposes a novel feedback based time division multiple access (FBTDMA) protocol to address the problems caused by SOTDMA, such that collision of transmissions can be avoided in information transmission among vessels. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed FBTDMA outperforms the traditional SOTDMA in terms of channel utilisation and throughput, and significantly reduces the transmission collision rate. The study is expected to provide insights into VDES standardisation and E-navigation modernisation.

Abstract Almost all existing studies on inter-satellite radio frequency (RF) measurement have focused on two-satellite formations. Although some frequency division multiple access and code division multiple access multisatellite RF measurement schemes have been proposed, their poor scalability does not satisfy the inter-satellite measurement requirements of multisatellite formations, especially large-scale formations. Two-way ranging (TWR), which is based on a time division mechanism, is an effective solution that has been used for inter-satellite links in the global positioning system and Beidou navigation constellations. However, the high measurement accuracy achieved with TWR in these navigation constellations is heavily reliant on high-performance atomic clocks and the assistance of navigation ephemeris, which are not available on microsatellite platforms. This work focuses on a scalable multisatellite measurement scheme that adopts a distributed broadcast-based time division multiple access mechanism as the media access control layer and uses an asymmetric double-side TWR method as the physical layer. The measurement performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated through in-depth theoretical modeling, simulation verification, and experimental validation, along with a comprehensive comparison with the conventional TWR method. The experimental results show that centimeter-level measurement accuracy can be achieved with the proposed scheme when only a common miniaturized frequency source is used. This accuracy level is two orders of magnitude better than that of the TWR method, and thus satisfies the application requirements of general large-scale microsatellite formations.
