The algorithm fills in blocks of missing data in a wireless image after transmission through the network. When images are transmitted over fading channels, especially in the severe circum- stances of a coal mine, blocks of the image may be destroyed by the effects of noise. Instead of using com- mon retransmission query protocols the lost data is reconstructed by using the adaptive curvature-driven diffusion (ACDD) image restoration algorithm in the gradient domain of the destroyed image. Missing blocks are restored by the method in two steps: In step one, the missing blocks are filled in the gradient domain by the ACDD algorithm; in step two, and the image is reconstructed from the reformed gradients by solving a Poisson equation. The proposed method eliminates the staircase effect and accelerates the convergence rate. This is demonstrated by experimental results.展开更多

Its core idea is that any of its wireless equipment can act as both an Access Point (AP) and a router. Each node in the network can send and receive signals as well as directly communicate with one or several peer nodes. One important issue to be considered in wireless Mesh networks is how to secure reliable data transmission in multi-hop links. To solve the problem, the 3GPP system architecture proposes two functionalities: ARQ and HARQ. This paper presents two HARQ schemes, namely hop-by-hop and edge-to-edge, and three ARQ schemes: hop-by-hop, edge-to-edge, and last-hop. Moreover, it proposes three solutions for WMNs from the perspective of protocol stock design: layered cooperative mechanism, relay ARQ mechanism and multi-hop mechanism.展开更多
