Figure 2 Illustration of the two sets of attraction forces acting on each backbone node: backbone-terminal for network coverage optimization and backbone-backbone for backbone connectivity optimization.
In this paper, we label backbone-backbone links as essential or priority links and backbone-terminal links as nonessential or nonpriority links.
The loss of a single backbone-backbone link may cause multiple end-to-end disruptions, while the loss of a single backbone-terminal link causes at most one end-to-end disruption.
An architectural approach is followed, where positions of backbone and terminal nodes are optimized for very large networks (e.g., 50 × 50 km2).
We measured the average number of SD connections for each of the simulations using the convex energy model for backbone-to-terminal links versus the Morse potential model.
Table 3 Average percentage improvement in SD connections using the Morse potential for backbone-to-terminal links, with maximum transmitted power of 3 W, 5 W, and 7 W.
The use of the Morse potential at the backbone-to-terminal links allows the network to release high-cost links that have an effect on the overall assurance of end-to-end connectivity.
After illustrating the dynamic and self-organizing network control process, we are interested in comparing the performance of the network control methodology when we include the Morse potential for the characterization of the backbone-to-terminal links.
Thermal properties and viscosities have been investigated in relation to molar mass, backbone structure and terminal functionality; comparisons are made with related saturated and unsaturated systems, and with polymers containing terminal ionic functionalities, formed by alkylation, protonation, or coordination with Cu II), Ni II) and Fe III) chlorides.
A set of nodes must be partitioned into terminals and hubs, hubs must be connected through a backbone network, and terminals must be assigned to hubs and connected to them through access networks, being the objective to minimize the total cost.
The N-terminal backbone primary amino group was found to be the only point of conjugation.
