Diary 0609: It is not the appropriate time to start the trip in stock market

Read some articles about the stock. For a conclusion: it is not the appropriate time to start the stock trip. Why?

First reason, I haven't enough money to start. I think the enough money means that you have at least 20000 saving, and then you can play 5000 for stock.

Second reason, I can spend these time and energy to focus on my first station of career. 

Third reason, I will need stock knowledge and need enlarge my fortune in 5 years.

So the appropriate time to start the stock trip will be around 2013.  

Diary 0609: The difference between WiFi and WiMAX

  1. Wi-Fi runs on the Media Access Control's CSMA/CA protocol, which is connectionless and contention based, whereas WiMAX runs a connection-oriented MAC.
  2. WiMAX and Wi-Fi have quite different quality of service (QoS) mechanisms:
  • WiMAX uses a QoS mechanism based on connections between the base station and the user device. Each connection is based on specific scheduling algorithms.
  • Wi-Fi uses contention access - all subscriber stations that wish to pass data through a wireless access point (AP) are competing for the AP's attention on a random interrupt basis. This can cause subscriber stations distant from the AP to be repeatedly interrupted by closer stations, greatly reducing their throughput.
3. Both 802.11 and 802.16 define Peer-to-Peer (P2P) and ad hoc networks, where an end user communicates to users or servers on another Local Area Network (LAN) using itsaccess point or base station. However, 802.11 supports also direct ad hoc or peer to peer networking between end user devices without an access point while 802.16 end user devices must be in range of the base station.

What is the sense of math and what is optimization

It is too later to write this note to think more about math and the important issue --optimization-- used in my research. 

In the research, we try to solve some problem comes from real world. For example, we need to design a new network to provide bandwidth to residential. What topology we should deploy constrained with cost of network elements. After implementation, how to adjust the network if the bandwidth is not enough? Most of problem in this world can be solved by optimization methods. 
 
We use mathematical concepts and constructions not simply to add rigor to the proceedings but because they are the language in terms of which calculation procedures are best developed, defined, and understood.

First of all, we need to establish the model of problem. In this model, we should correlate all the independent variables and define the performance criterion which we can evaluate according our expectation. We need to consider the boundaries of this model because it is a real scenario from reality. 

If all have been done, we choose some ways to solve this model, and find the best answer of this problem. There are many ways to solve optimization of engineering according different kind of model.

We can solve this model by describing in computing language, such as cplex. We can solve it without computer also.

Diary 0601: The Energy Efficiency of Network.(Core Network, Access Network and Data Center)

It is a critical issue about energy efficiency of ICT. It is more easily to save energy by improving the network components and computing devices.

But there are some opportunities to save energy from the viewpoint of network, including core network, access network and the data center.

In the core network, typically, we can save energy by turning off some line card, traffic grooming, and other new scheme to design the network.

In the Data center, by analyzing the energy consumption in different part of holistic data center, we can improve energy efficiency by enhance the 
cooling system, by change the site of data center near to the power plant and shut down some unused packs.

In the access network, it should be more opportunities to save energy, because the utilization in this area is lowest as 15%. We can improve the 
energy efficiency by reshaping the traffic inter-ONUs, we can redesign the protocol to save energy.

In one world, from the perspective of network, we can scheduling the traffic, redesign the network to shut down some resource.
