O. Box 18839, 1400 John R. Lynch Street, Jackson, MS 39217, USA Tel: 01-601-979-3661 E-mail: [email protected] Levon Paul Judon, Jr. Department of Computer Science, Jackson State University E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Given a fixed energy budget for the operation of a mobile ad hoc network (MANET), on-demand recharging is the technique of charging the nodes initially with identical, but reduced energy level called the recharge quantum, and then recharging the nodes with the recharge quantum of energy whenever the energy level at a node goes below a threshold level. Transmission power control is the technique of adjusting the transmission power at a sender node depending on the distance to the receiver node. The high-level contribution of this paper is a simulation-based analysis of the network lifetime obtained for each of the following four scenarios: [a] No power control, No on-demand recharging; [b] Power control, but no on-demand recharging; [c] On-demand recharging, but no power control and [d] Both power control and on-demand recharging. Network lifetime is defined as the time of first node failure due to the exhaustion of energy level at the node and the inability to further charge the node. The on-demand routing protocols studied are: Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Flow-Oriented Routing Protocol (FORP) and the Min-Max Battery Cost Routing (MMBCR) algorithm run on the top of DSR. We illustrate the improvement obtained in network lifetime as we transition from scenarios [a] through [d]. Simulation results illustrate that scenarios involving on-demand recharging ([c] and [d]) yield a higher network lifetime than scenarios [a] and [b]. When we operate the network with both on-demand recharging and power control, we obtain the maximum improvement in network lifetime. The percentage of the supplied energy that has been consumed in the network at the time of first node failure for each of the four scenarios and the three routing protocols is also measured to illustrate the effectiveness of on-demand recharging in maximizing the usage of the available energy budget. Keywords: On-demand Recharging, Mobile Ad hoc Networks, Transmission Power Control, Network Lifetime, Routing Protocols 1. Introduction A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a dynamic distributed system of wireless nodes where in the nodes move independent of each other. MANETs have several operating constraints such as: limited battery charge per node, limited transmission range per node and limited bandwidth. Routes in MANETs are often multi-hop in nature. Packet transmission or reception consumes the battery charge at a node. Nodes forward packets for their peers in addition to their own. In other words, nodes are forced to expend their battery charge for receiving and transmitting packets that are not intended for them. Given the limited energy budget for MANETs, inadvertent over usage of the energy resources of a small set of nodes at the cost of others can have an adverse impact on the node lifetime. There exist two classes of MANET routing protocols: proactive and reactive. The reactive (also called on-demand) routing protocols tend to be more economical in terms of energy and bandwidth usage (Broch, Maltz, Johnson, Hu & Jetcheva, 1998; Johansson, Larsson, Hedman, Mielczarek & Degermark, 1999) in dynamically changing scenarios, characteristic of MANETs. Hence, in this paper, we restrict ourselves to the class of on-demand routing protocols. We use three on-demand routing protocols: Dynamic Source Routing (DSR – Johnson, Maltz & Broch, 2001), Flow-Oriented Routing Protocol (FORP – Su & Gerla, 1999) and Min-Max Battery Cost Routing (MMBCR – Toh, 3 Vol. 3, No. 1 Computer and Information Science 2001). DSR, FORP and MMBCR are respectively selected as representatives of the minimum-hop, stable path and power-aware routing strategies. In an earlier work (Meghanathan, 2008), it has been observed that FORP discovers the sequence of most stable (long-living) routes among the currently available MANET stable path routing protocols. DSR discovers minimum-hop routes with a lower routing overhead (Broch, Maltz, Johnson, Hu & Jetcheva, 1998). MMBCR is a power-aware routing algorithm that attempts to equally distribute energy consumption to all the nodes in an ad hoc network and takes into consideration the available energy level at the nodes before route selection. The residual energy of a path is the minimum of the energy levels of the intermediate nodes on the path and MMBCR chooses the path with the maximum residual

  • Ip Man 2 (2010) Secondo Capitolo Per La Saga Del Maestro Di Bruce Lee, Questa Volta Alle Prese Con La Boxe Dei Colonialisti Inglesi
    Ip Man 2 (2010) Secondo capitolo per la saga del maestro di Bruce Lee, questa volta alle prese con la boxe dei colonialisti inglesi. Un film di Wilson Yip con Donnie Yen, Lynn Hung, Simon Yam, Sammo Kam-Bo Hung, Xiaoming Huang, Siu-Wong Fan, Kent Cheng, Darren Shahlavi, Amber Chia, Jiang Dai-Yan. Genere Azione durata 109 minuti. Produzione Hong Kong 2010. Nonostante le innumerevoli difficoltà economiche e l'atteggiamento ostile delle altre scuole di kung fu, Ip Man persevera nel suo progetto e fonda una scuola per diffondere lo stile wing chun. Emanuele Sacchi - www.mymovies.it Sembra di tornare ai tempi belli del cinema di Hong Kong dei '70 e '80, grezzo al limite dell'ignoranza ma dalla creatività inesauribile, quello che, con inequivocabile razzismo, talora metteva in scena gli inglesi (o gli occidentali in genere) come trogloditi dall'ignoranza ferina, di solito apostrofandoli come "diavoli". Immaginare qualcosa di simile mescolato a citazioni da nientemeno che 'Rocky IV' non può che produrre risultati dal gusto ai limiti del trash, ma è anche di questa sana grevità che si nutre un progetto come quello della saga di 'Ip Man' - maestro di Bruce Lee e reinventore dello stile di arti marziali Wing Chun - che giunge al secondo capitolo in un tripudio di duelli, risse ed esibizioni di abilità nelle arti marziali. E se i match della seconda metà del film tra il pugile inglese e i 'sifu' di kung fu vanno visti nell'ottica succitata, la prima metà, incentrata sulla faticosa diffusione da parte di Ip Man del Wing Chun e dai duelli tra lui e gli altri maestri, appartiene allo stato dell'arte del genere.

Dongfang Zhang , pianist, was born in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, China in 1984. Mr. Zhang started to learn piano at the age of 4. He studied in a high school affiliated to Nanjing Arts Institute when he was 15 years old with Professor Chuan Qin. In 2003, he studied as an undergraduate student at Shanghai Normal University, studying with Professor Meige Lee during the whole 4 years and got the Bachelor degree in 2007. He participated in various concerts and competitions since 12. Mr. Zhang obtained the Shanghai Musicians’ Association’s Piano Performance Level 10 for Amateurs (Highest Level) at 13. He performed many famous pieces in various concerts at the prestigious Lyceum Theatre, Shanghai. As a young pianist, Mr. Zhang obtained many prizes.
