  • Publication number: 20220141629
    Abstract: A method includes: when data of a first service needs to be sent to a receive end, sending m indication frames to the receive end if a type of the first service is a target service type; receiving n trigger frames sent by the receive end based on the m indication frames; and each time one trigger frame is received, sending the data of the first service to the receive end by using a transmission resource indicated by the trigger frame.

  • Publication number: 20220141785
    Abstract: Embodiments of this disclosure disclose a multi-link communication method and a related apparatus. In a scenario in which simultaneous transmission and reception over a plurality of links is not supported, a multi-link device first sends a first physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) over a first link, and then sends a second PPDU over a second link through channel contention, where an end time of the second PPDU is not later than an end time of the first PPDU. The method not only ensures fairness of multi-link access, but also can reduce an idle rate of the plurality of links.

  • Publication number: 20200294413
    Abstract: Embodiments of methods, systems, and computer-readable media for coupling two or more simulators to simulate a coupled multi-physics model of a subsurface formation are provided. A coupling framework loads one or more simulators as shared libraries into a common process and a common memory space with a first simulator to create the coupled multi-physics model of the subsurface formation. During simulation, the coupling framework controls data exchange between the first simulator and the other simulator(s) through the common memory space and controls execution of the first simulator and the other simulator(s) responsive to the common process. In the event of two-way coupling, the coupling framework can receive feedback from the other simulator(s) and alter execution of the first simulator. In the event of grid misalignment, the coupling framework can map data between the first simulator and the other simulator(s) such as in a globally conservative (e.g., mass, energy, etc.) manner.

  • Publication number: 20160267290
    Abstract: An information viewing method, relative device, system, and storage medium are provided. The method includes: sending, by a first server, an interactive message comprising a searching instruction to a second server when receiving the searching instruction sent by a client; searching for, by the second server, corresponding target information according to a configured searching permission corresponding to the user information in the searching instruction, generating a searching link address associated with a storage address of the target information and sending the generated searching link address to the first server; returning, by the first server, the searching link address to the client; and presenting, by the second server, the corresponding target information when receiving a viewing request.

  • Patent number: 8855986
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product is disclosed for utilizing proxy models to evaluate a subterranean reservoir. The method includes constructing a proxy model from a set of sampling points to approximate simulation outputs of a reservoir model. The set of sampling points is updated by adding at least one new sampling point that is selected from a location associated with surface non-linearities such as gradients, curvature, and bending energy. Response surface values at new sampling points and distances to existing sampling points can also be used to evaluate new sampling points. Proxy models are refined with the updated set of sampling points until the proxy model satisfies a predetermined stopping criterion, such as when a predetermined number of iterations are reached or when changes to the response surface are below a predetermined threshold.
