Revisit the rate of tidal disruption events: the role of the partial tidal disruption event

Kavli Affiliate: Rainer Spurzem | First 5 Authors: Shiyan Zhong, Shuo Li, Peter Berczik, Rainer Spurzem, | Summary: Tidal disruption of stars in dense nuclear star clusters containing supermassive central black holes (SMBH) is modeled by high-accuracy direct N-body simulation. Stars getting too close to the SMBH are tidally disrupted and a tidal disruption event […]

An Efficient Piggybacking Design Framework with Sub-packetization $lle r$ for All-Node Repair

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, Zhifang Zhang, , , | Summary: Piggybacking design has been widely applied in distributed storage systems since it can greatly reduce the repair bandwidth with small sub-packetization. Compared with other existing erasure codes, piggybacking is more convenient to operate and the I/O cost is lower. […]

Geometry-Based Stochastic Probability Models for the LoS and NLoS Paths of A2G Channels under Urban Scenario

Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Minghui Pang, Qiuming Zhu, Cheng-Xiang Wang, Zhipeng Lin, Junyu Liu | Summary: Path probability prediction is essential to describe the dynamic birth and death of propagation paths, and build the accurate channel model for air-to-ground (A2G) communications. The occurrence probability of each path is complex and time-variant […]

CHARLES: Channel-Quality-Adaptive Over-the-Air Federated Learning over Wireless Networks

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Jiayu Mao, Haibo Yang, Peiwen Qiu, Jia Liu, Aylin Yener | Summary: Over-the-air federated learning (OTA-FL) has emerged as an efficient mechanism that exploits the superposition property of the wireless medium and performs model aggregation for federated learning in the air. OTA-FL is naturally sensitive to wireless […]
