Scalable Multiuser Immersive Communications with Multi-numerology and Mini-slot
This paper studies multiuser immersive communications networks in which
different user equipment may demand various extended reality (XR) services. In
such heterogeneous networks, time-frequency resource allocation needs to be
more adaptive since XR services are usually multi-modal and latency-sensitive.
To this end, we develop a scalable time-frequency resource allocation method
based on multi-numerology and mini-slot. To appropriately determining the
discrete parameters of multi-numerology and mini-slot for multiuser immersive
communications, the proposed method first presents a novel flexible
time-frequency resource block configuration, then it leverages the deep
reinforcement learning to maximize the total quality-of-experience (QoE) under
different users' QoE constraints. The results confirm the efficiency and
scalability of the proposed time-frequency resource allocation method
Controllable Synthesis of Carboxymethyl Cellulose and Its Application in Tobacco Sheets
Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) with different degree of substitution (DS) was prepared by controlling feed ratio and times of alkalization and etherification. CMC with different molecular weight was prepared by degradation of hydrochloric acid solution. Orthogonal experiments were designed to study the effects of addition amount, molecular weight and DS of CMC on the tensile strength of tobacco sheets. The effects of CMC on the thermal properties and aerosol release of tobacco sheets were also studied. The results showed that the addition amount and the molecular weight of CMC had obvious effect on the tensile strength of tobacco sheets. The DS of CMC had no significant effect on the tensile strength of tobacco sheets. The addition of CMC improved the thermal stability of tobacco sheets to a certain extent, and had certain influence on the content of nicotine in aerosol
