A completely new approach to artificial intelligence, named mechanism approach, was presented in the paper to cope with the advanced intelligence(AI) research. It was discovered that the core mechanism of intelligence formation is a series of conversions—the one from information to knowledge and the one from knowledge to intelligence (intelligent strategy), or more concisely informationknowledge-intelligence transform. It was also discovered that there is a system of knowledge ecology from experimental knowledge to regular knowledge and further to commonsense knowledge. To combine the mechanism approach and the ecology system of knowledge, it is discovered that the three existed schools of advanced intelligence theory (the structuralism, functionalism, and behaviorism) are unified within the framework of the mechanism approach. More interestingly, it can also be proved that the general form of mechanism approach is the information conversion which is an effective approach to advanced intelligence and as significant as that of material conversion and energy conversion in physics.
The metabolic grey model (MGM) is investigated for network traffic prediction. It is shown that, when the MGM modeling-length is shorter than the traffic primary-period length, the accuracy is satisfactory. Small modeling-length MGM is preferred. Residual grey model (RGM) is not needed for its contribution to accuracy improvement is limited. The prediction of MGM, auto regressive integrated moving average(ARIMA )and Elman neural network(ENN) are compared. The MGM accuracy is better than the ARIMAs, and equals to the ENNs. Furthermore, MGM is adaptive to traffic changes.
The problems of the joint subcarrier allocation, power allocation, transmission mode selection and relay selection optimization which maximizes the weighted sum rate are addressed in orthogonal frequency division multiple access-based decode-and-forward(OFDMA-DF) relaying systems. Based on convex optimization theory, an optimal resource allocation algorithm is proposed. The complexity of this algorithm is only linear in the number of subcarriers. Simulation demonstrates that the scheme can achievenot only fair resource allocation but also effective relay utilization that enhances the system capacity through adjusting weighting factors for each user.
Aiming at the high complexity of non-linear combined quantization caused by constellation biased distribution in lattice reduction aided(LRA) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) detection, a sorted feedback non-linear quantization scheme is proposed. It considers the border of transformed constellation and the correlations between elements, meanwhile, the element is selected to be quantized according to the value of the quantization errors. Simulation shows that the performance of LRA MIMO detection based on this quantization scheme is superior to the performance of LRA MIMO detection based on non-sorted feedback and independent element quantization. Furthermore, the LRA MIMO detection based on the proposed scheme can approach the performance of maximum likelihood detection in polynomial complexity in a flat fading channel.

Compared with the optimal codebook selection scheme, the proposed selection strategy can reduce codebook number and computation complexity effectively. Simulation results demonstrate that the performance of the proposed strategy near to that of the optimal codebook selection scheme.

To build an efficient, scalable, and security trust model in peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, the P2P trust model is studied and a risk-aware P2P trust model is built. This model constructs a new relationship model between risk and reputation, and interlards recommendation reputation with risk. By means of the new risk evaluation function and the computation of probability model in series, the risk brought by direct exchange and indirect recommendation is well quantified. To avoid slander or coordinated cheat attack among malicious nodes, this model filters the local recommendation reputation and local recommendation risk with the center deviation method. Through P2P networks simulations, the performance gains brought by this model are significant and the system security is greatly improved.

Experiment proves that this system can most eliminate the interference from users head motion.
In distributed multi-user opportunistic spectrum access (OSA) environment, user-synchronization problem is the vital reason for network throughput deteriorating. To resolve this problem, a changeable-domain based sensing policy is proposed. By adopting randomized sensing policy it can weaken user-synchronization. When changing the number of channels which are available for randomized access (i.e. the width of the random domain), the proposed policy can achieve a tradeoff between optimal myopic sensing and user-synchronization avoidance. Simulations show that the policy can achieve higher network throughput compared to the randomized sensing policy over the whole channels.
An image segmentation method based on the modified intersecting cortical model (MICM) is proposed to set the MICM parameters adaptively according to the different characteristics of images and choose the optimal segmentation results automatically, which are two main obstacles for the basic intersecting cortical model(ICM) to be used in practice. Experiments show that the comprehensive evaluation value of MICM is close to those of basic pulse coupled neural network(PCNN) and basic intersecting cortical model. Compared with the fuzzy C-means algorithm and OTSU algorithm, MICM is of visually better segmentation and the comprehensive evaluation value of MICM increases by approximately 15% and 13% respectively.
Based on discrete Fourier transform(DFT) estimator, the effect of virtual subcarriers is analyzed. It is shown that, on edge subcarriers, the estimation errors caused by channel information missing are much larger than that caused by noise. Therefore the estimation errors of edge subcarriers are getting worse. A low complexity channel estimator is proposed. The proposed estimator takes the least square(LS) estimation instead of the DFT estimation on edge subcarriers. Then replacement criteria and the bound of mean square error(MSE) are presented. The simulation shows that the MSE and BER performances of the proposed method are better than that of LS estimator or DFT-based estimator.

To reduce the negative effect of channel estimation error, a dynamic adaptive modulation scheme is proposed. This scheme dynamically adjusts the SINR thresholds for different modulation orders according to the feedbacks information from the receiver until the all the data are received correctly. Without increasing the signaling load and modifying original system parameters (e.g., modulation order and threshold), it can be easily extended to the cross-layer design existing channel estimation error.
