Improving Information Freshness via Backbone-Assisted Cooperative Access Points

Information freshness, characterized by age of information (AoI), is important for sensor applications involving timely status updates. In many cases, the wireless signals from one sensor can be received by multiple access points (APs). This paper investigates the average AoI for cooperative APs, in which they can share information through a wired backbone network. We first study a basic backbone-assisted COoperative AP (Co-AP) system where APs share only decoded packets. Experimental results on software-defined radios (SDR) indicate that Co-AP significantly improves the average AoI performance over a single-AP system. Next, we investigate an improved Co-AP system, called Soft-Co-AP. In addition to sharing decoded packets, Soft-Co-AP shares and collects soft information of packets that the APs fail to decode for further joint decoding. A critical issue in Soft-Co-AP is determining the number of quantization bits that represent the soft information (each soft bit) shared over the backbone. While more quantization bits per soft bit improves the joint decoding performance, it leads to higher backbone delay. We experimentally study the average AoI of Soft-Co-AP by evaluating the tradeoff between the backbone delay and the number of quantization bits. SDR experiments show that when the number of sensors is large, Soft-Co-AP further reduces the average AoI by 12% compared with Co-AP. Interestingly, good average AoI performance is usually achieved when the number of quantization bits per soft bit is neither too large nor too small.

Schwarz boundary value problems for polyanalytic equation in a sector ring

In this article,we first give a modified Schwarz-Pompeiu formula in a general sector ring by proper conformal mappings, and obtain the solution of the Schwarz problem for the Cauchy-Riemann equation in explicit forms. Furthermore, a class of integral operators is introduced together with their properties. Finally, by virtue of these operators, Schwarz problems for a inhomogeneous polyanalytic equation and for a generalized polyanalytic equation are investigated, respectively.

Orthogonal trigonometric polynomials from Riemann-Hilbert view

In this work, some theorems are established for orthogonal trigonometric polynomials (OTP) including Favard, Baxter, Geronimus, Rakhmanov, Szegö and the strong Szegö theorems which are important in the theory of orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle (OPUC). All these results are based on the mutual representation theorem of OPUC and OTP which deduced by a Riemann-Hilbert problem simultaneously characterizing them. In addition, Szegö recursions, four-term recurrences and some new identities for OPUC and OTP are also obtained by using their Riemann-Hilbert characterizations respectively.

$L^p$ polyharmonic Robin problems on Lipschitz domains

In this paper, we study a class of boundary value problems (BVPs) with Robin conditions in some $L^p$ spaces for polyharmonic equation on Lipschitz domains. Utilizing polyharmonic fundamental solutions, these Robin BVPs are solved by the method of layer potentials. The crucial ingedients of our approach are the classical single layer potential and its higher order analog (which are called multi-layer $S$-potentials), and the main results generalize ones of second order (Laplacian) case to higher order (polyharmonic) case.

Higher order Poisson Kernels and $L^p$ polyharmonic boundary value problems in Lipschitz domains

In this article, we introduce higher order conjugate Poisson and Poisson kernels, which are higher order analogues of the classical conjugate Poisson and Poisson kernels, as well as the polyharmonic fundamental solutions, and define multi-layer potentials in terms of Poisson field and the polyharmonic fundamental solutions, in which the former formed by the higher order conjugate Poisson and Poisson kernels. Then by the multi-layer potentials, we solve three classes of boundary value problems (i.e., Dirichlet, Neumann and regularity problems) with $L^{p}$ boundary data for polyharmonic equations in Lipschitz domains and give integral representation (or potential) solutions of these problems.

Orthogonal Trigonometric Polynomials: Riemann-Hilbert Analysis and Relations with OPUC

In this paper, we study the theory of orthogonal trigonometric polynomials (OTP). We obtain asymptotics of OTP with positive and analytic weight functions by Riemann-Hilbert approach and find they have relations with orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle (OPUC). By the relations and the theory of OPUC, we also get four-terms recurrent formulae, Christoffel-Darboux formula and some properties of zeros for orthogonal trigonometric polynomials.
