Currently, the IEEE 802.11 wireless local-area network (WLAN) has been prevalent around the world due to the advantages of mobility, flexibility, and scalability. WLAN offers the wireless internet-access method through an access-point (AP) at homes, schools, or offices. When multiple APs are deployed in the network field, the proper transmission power of each AP is essential to improve the performance, considering the coverage area, transmission capacity, and interference. In this paper, the authors study the transmission power optimization of concurrently communicating two APs in WLAN. Based on extensive experiment results, the authors propose a method of selecting the best power for each AP from the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of receiving signal strength (RSS). For evaluations, the authors implemented the proposed method on the elastic WLAN system testbed using Raspberry Pi for APs and conducted experiments for nine network topologies in two buildings at Okayama University. The results show that the proposal always selects the best power in any topology.

AbstractVisible light communications (VLC) is considered as an alternative communications technology for providing indoor wireless services. VLC systems are expected to offer high data transmission rate and seamless coverage. In order to achieve these requirements, VLC systems utilizing multi-lightbeam access points (multibeam VLC-AP) for downlink transmission have been proposed recently. In this paper, we present a lightbeam configuration method and an interference elimination resource scheduling mechanism (IERS) for indoor multibeam multi-access point VLC systems. The proposed lightbeam configuration method ensures seamless connectivity between user equipment and VLC-AP. The proposed IERS mechanism consists of a beam assignment algorithm and a resource allocation algorithm for eliminating co-channel interference as well as improving system performance. Performance results obtained by computer simulation indicate that there are significant improvements in terms of downlink signal to interference plus noise ratio, user throughput and packet delay when the proposed IERS mechanism is deployed.

With the advent of structural genomics a variety of crystallization techniques have been automated and applied to high-throughput pipelines, yet seeding, which is the most common and successful optimization method, is still being performed predominantly manually. The aim of this study was to devise simple automated seeding techniques that can be applied in a routine manner using existing robots and not requiring special tools. Two alternative protocols for automated seeding experiments are described. One involves the delivery of microcrystals from stock to target wells using the robot dispensing tip as a seeding tool. The second harnesses an animal whisker as the seeding tool. Larger and better ordered crystals were obtained using both techniques.
