Studies assessing phenotypes of plant populations traditionally place their primary focus on increasing measurement precision and improving accuracy. Phenotyping methods that use imaging, remote sensing, spectroscopy, continue to increase throughput capacity, but information has been unavailable assess the tradeoffs between increased any potential decreases in In this simulation study, we compa...

Preliminary work introduced Non-Renegable Selective Acknowledgments (NR-SACKs) and showed they (i) better utilize a data sender’s memory in both SCTP and CMT, and (ii) improve throughput in CMT. In this paper, we provide the latest specification of NR-SACKs, and extend the investigation of throughput improvements that NR-SACKs can provide. Using ns-2 simulation, for various loss conditions and ...

The asymptotic throughput-delay tradeoff has been extensively studied for dense wireless mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) as a function of increasing density. However, many practical applications exist for sparse MANETs where mobile node density goes to zero and the number of nodes is small. Asymptotic throughput-delay laws discovered for dense networks need not identically hold in this sparse r...

Energy harvesting communication has raised great research interests due to its wide applications and feasibility of commercialization. In this paper, we investigate the multiuser energy diversity. Specifically, we reveal the throughput gain coming from the increase of total available energy harvested over time/space and from the combined dynamics of batteries. Considering both centralized and d...

This paper investigates the performance of CLAMP, a distributed algorithm to enhance the performance of TCP connections that terminate in a wireless access network. CLAMP works at a receiver to control a TCP sender by setting the TCP receiver’s advertised window limit. CLAMP provides explicit control over wireless link utilisation and queueing delay at the access point buffer, and can drastical...

This letter proposes a novel frequency channel blocking (FCB) scheme for millimeter-wave (MMW) entrance networks. In the FCB scheme, any frequency channel is determined to be blocked whether or not, based on not only the network throughput but also the newly defined fairness index. As the results, the FCB scheme yields better throughput and fairness performances with a little increase in comput...

This paper describes how Merit Based Scheduling (MBS) can be used to increase the average throughput in an asynchronous bufferless Optical Packet Switched (OPS) network. Basically, MBS means that packets are forwarded based on its merit, which includes priority, number of resources taken, number of resources left etc. We show that using MBS increases the average throughput, but only in a limite...

At Skyworks Solutions throughput of the back side through-wafer via etch process was low because of a high rework rate. The high rework rate was due to an organic residue blocking the etch. A process was first developed to remove the residue and then integrated into the via etch process. The optimized via etch process resulted in a reduction in reworks and a significant increase in process thro...
