We consider all-to-all broadcast and unicast among nodes in a multi-channel single-hop ad hoc network, with no time synchronization. Motivated by the hard delay requirement for ultra-reliable and low-latency communication (URLLC) in 5G wireless networks, we aim at designing medium access control (MAC) schemes to guarantee successful node-to-node transmission within a bounded delay. To provide a hard guarantee on the transmission delay, deterministic sequence schemes are preferred to probabilistic schemes such as carrier sense multiple access (CSMA). Therefore, we mainly consider sequence schemes, with the goal to design schedule sequence set to guarantee successful broadcast/unicast within a common sequence period. This period should be as short as possible since it determines an upper bound on the transmission delay. In previous works, we have considered sequence design under time division duplex (TDD). In this paper, we focus on another common duplex mode, frequency division duplex (FDD). For the FDD case, we present a lower bound on period of feasible sequence sets, and propose a sequence construction method by which the sequence period can achieve the same order as the lower bound, for both broadcast and unicast models. We also compare the sequence length for FDD with that for TDD.

We review our recent achievements in monolithic 3D-ICs and flexible electronics based on single-grain Si TFTs that are fabricated inside a single-grain with a low-temperature process. Based on pulsed-laser crystallization and submicron sized cavities made in the substrate, amorphous-Si precursor film was converted into poly-Si having grains that are formed on predetermined positions. Using the method called µ-Czochralski process and LPCVD a-Si precursor film, two layers of the SG Si TFT layers with the grains having a diameter of 6µm were vertically stacked with a maximum process temperature of 550°C. Mobility for electrons and holes were 600cm2/Vs and 200cm2/Vs, respectively. As a demonstration of monolithic 3D-ICs, the two SG-TFT layers were successfully implemented into CMOS inverter, 3D 6T-SRAM and single-grain lateral PIN photo-diode with in-pixel amplifier. The SG Si TFTs were applied to flexible electronics. In this case, the a-Si precursor was prepared by doctor-blade coating of liquid-Si based on pure cyclopentasilane (CPS) on a polyimide (PI) substrate with maximum process temperature of 350°C. The µ-Czochralski process provided location-controlled Si grains with a diameter of 3µm and mobilities of 460 and 121cm2/Vs for electrons and holes, respectively, were obtained. The devices on PI were transferred to a plastic foil which can operate with a bending diameter of 6mm. Those results indicate that the SG TFTs are attractive for their use in both monolithic 3D-ICs and flexible electronics.

In the context of Web 2.0, the interaction between users and resources is more and more frequent in the process of resource sharing and consumption. However, the current research on resource pricing mainly focuses on the attributes of the resource itself, and does not weigh the interests of the resource sharing participants. In order to deal with these problems, the pricing mechanism of resource-user interaction evaluation based on multi-agent game theory is established in this paper. Moreover, the user similarity, the evaluation bias based on link analysis and punishment of academic group cheating are also included in the model. Based on the data of 181 scholars and 509 articles from the Wanfang database, this paper conducts 5483 pricing experiments for 13 months, and the results show that this model is more effective than other pricing models - the pricing accuracy of resource resources is 94.2%, and the accuracy of user value evaluation is 96.4%. Besides, this model can intuitively show the relationship within users and within resources. The case study also exhibits that the user's knowledge level is not positively correlated with his or her authority. Discovering and punishing academic group cheating is conducive to objectively evaluating researchers and resources. The pricing mechanism of scientific and technological resources and the users proposed in this paper is the premise of fair trade of scientific and technological resources.

We report our studies on the spectral sensitivity of superconducting NbN thin-film single-photon detectors (SPD's) capable of GHz counting rates of visible and near-infrared photons. In particular, it has been shown that a NbN SPD is sensitive to 1.55-µm wavelength radiation and can be used for quantum communication. Our SPD's exhibit experimentally measured intrinsic quantum efficiencies from 20% at 800 nm up to 1% at 1.55-µm wavelength. The devices demonstrate picosecond response time (<100 ps, limited by our readout system) and negligibly low dark counts. Spectral dependencies of photon counting of continuous-wave, 0.4-µm to 3.5-µm radiation, and 0.63-µm, 1.33-µm, and 1.55-µm laser-pulsed radiations are presented for the single-stripe-type and meander-type devices.

Signed networks are ubiquitous in the real world. It is of great significance to study the problem of community detection in signed networks. In general, the behaviors of nodes in a signed network are rational, which coincide with the players in the theory of game that can be used to model the process of the community formation. Unlike unsigned networks, signed networks include both positive and negative edges, representing the relationship of friends and foes respectively. In the process of community formation, nodes usually choose to be in the same community with friends and between different communities with enemies. Based on this idea, we proposed a game theory model to address the problem of community detection in signed networks. Taking nodes as players, we build a gain function based on the numbers of positive edges and negative edges inside and outside a community, and prove the existence of Nash equilibrium point. In this way, when the game reaches the Nash equilibrium state, the optimal strategy space for all nodes is the result of the final community division. To systematically investigate the performance of our method, elaborated experiments on both synthetic networks and real-world networks are conducted. Experimental results demonstrate that our method is not only more accurate than other existing algorithms, but also more robust to noise.

To address slow response and scattered resources in patent service, this paper proposes a one-stop service business model based on scientific and technological resource bundle. The proposed one-step model is composed of a project model, a resource bundle model and a service product model through Web Service integration. This paper describes the patent resource bundle model from the aspects of content and context, and designs the configuration of patent service products and patent resource bundle. The model is then applied to the patent service of the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration in China, and the monthly agent volume increased by 38.8%, and the average response time decreased by 14.3%. Besides, it is conducive to improve user satisfaction and resource sharing efficiency of urban agglomeration.

Resource sharing is to ensure required resources available for their demanders. However, due to the lack of proper sharing model, the current sharing rate of the scientific and technological resources is low, impeding technological innovation and value chain development. Here we propose a novel method to share scientific and technological resources by storing resources as nodes and correlations as links to form a complex network. We present a few-shot relational learning model to solve the cold-start and long-tail problems that are induced by newly added resources. Experimentally, using NELL-One and Wiki-One datasets, our one-shot results outperform the baseline framework - metaR by 40.2% and 4.1% on MRR in Pre-Train setting. We also show two practical applications, a resource graph and a resource map, to demonstrate how the complex network helps resource sharing.
