    • Joint optimization assisted by the time and power allocation of spectrum sensing and data transmission is a new paradigm for cooperative wireless network. By taking full account of different cognitive user`s transmit power over channels and their mis-detection/false alarm probability of licensed users, a new joint optimization scheme with amplify-and-forward mode based on system energyefficiency maximization is proposed for sensing-transmission time allocation and power control. It is proven that the global optimal solution of this scheme can be tractable by sequential optimization method. Simulation shows that the energy efficiency of the relay-assisted transmission using our proposed scheme outperforms the non-relay transmission, and the system performance will be improved with sensing-transmission ratio decrement and signal-to-noise ratio of the licensed user increment.

    • A Robust Interference Alignment Scheme with Imperfect CSI Used in Multi-Cell System
    • Journal of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. 2012, 35(3): 6-10. DOI:10.13190/jbupt.201203.6.xiexzh
    • Abstract ( 2428 )     HTML       
    • In practical communication systems, the prefect channel state information (CSI) is hardly obtained by transmitters owing to imperfect estimate or feedback of the channel coefficients. In order to mitigate the adverse impact of imperfect CSI on bit error rate, based on the constraint of zero-forcing channel error, a robust minimum interference leakage algorithm is proposed for multi-cell multi-user multi-input multi-output system. The formulation of system sum rate is derived under new objective constraint with channel error. Simulations show that if the imperfect CSI is known, the performance on bit error rate and average sum rate of the user in cell edge can be improved by the proposed robust algorithm, especially at the high signal noise rate values.

    • Journal of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. 2012, 35(3): 20-24. DOI:10.13190/jbupt.201203.20.gengx
    • Abstract ( 2534 )     HTML       
    • In order to realize the channel estimation for multiple input multiple output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems in fast timevarying environments, an algorithm of channel estimation based on the polynomial basis expansion model (BEM) and the parallel interference cancellation algorithm with iterative decision feedback is proposed. With help of the parallel interference cancellation algorithm, the accurate channel estimation and the removed intercarrier interference are achieved based on the feature of which the BEM can transfer the channel estimation to a small amount of parameter estimation. Simulations shows that the signal to noise ratio gain reaches approximately 5 dB when the bit error rate is about 10-3, compared to the traditional estimation algorithms of least square and linear minimum mean square error. Furthermore, the algorithm doesnt need to know the channel characteristic of time domain. The phase shift orthogonal pilot sequence is adopted, and the computational complexity of channel estimation is reduced thereafter.

    • JIANG
    • Journal of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. 2012, 35(3): 25-29. DOI:10.13190/jbupt.201203.25.jiangwt
    • Abstract ( 2093 )     HTML       
    • Clustering is an important energy-saving mechanism in sensor networks. Most existing clustering algorithms ignore the reverse-data-forwarding phenomenon suffering from limitations in energy efficiency. A directional clustering algorithm (DCA) is proposed for data aggregation in sensor networks. DCA ensures that node’s data is always transmitted towards to sink but not away from it during the whole forwarding route, so as to avoid energy waste caused by the reverse-data-forwarding phenomenon. Simulations show that DCA possesses higher energy efficiency and can prolong the lifetime of sensor networks.

    • Abstract ( 2538 )     HTML       
    • To improve the spectrum efficiency and reliability of relay system, two transmission protocols combined network coding and hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) are proposed, the HARQ protocol is based on determination network coding(DNC-HARQ) ,and the HARQ protocol is based on opportunity network coding(ONC-HARQ). The performance of outage probability of system and the spectrum efficiency of these two protocols are analyzed. Furthermore, an optimize problem is elicited to maximize the spectrum efficiency of system. As the optimize problem is nonconvex, an iterative algorithm is designed to solve it. Simulations confirm that the two protocols presented is with higher reliability than the protocol with network coding, more spectrum efficiency of systems is obtained than the protocol with HARQ.

    • A method for codebook design is proposed to support beamforming mechanism in a 60 GHz millimeter-wave wireless communication environment. The codebook is designed with only phase shifting but not any amplitude adjustment to meet the low power consumption requirement. N complex numbers of the same phase interval and amplitude of 1 are designed to generate a codebook matrix. Simulation shows that, compared with the codebook in IEEE802.15.3c, a similar mainlobe patterns can be obtained in the proposed high-order codebook, while the sidelobe level appears lower, and the antenna gain at the direction of main response axis is higher. Meanwhile the interference decreases obviously with an improved total channel capacity in the practice environment, and the codebook is also robust to the beam shifting deriving from phase errors.

    • A method of similarity computation for executable objects homology detection based on structural signature was proposed. At first step, considering the characteristic of clone code, a signature of basic code block was designed. On the basis of the hierarchical structure of filefunctionbasic code block, similarity measurement of basic code block was built based on its basic properties and structural information. At second step, to evaluate the homology between original and object files, the similarity was calculated through constructing function weight by means of function structural information. Aiming at the most common clone patterns, some experiments were conducted between the proposed method, the method without considering weight and some mainstream similarity detection tools. Comparative results demonstrate that the proposed method can measure the similarity of two executable objects more accurately than other methods.

    • Journal of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. 2012, 35(3): 74-78. DOI:10.13190/jbupt.201203.74.zhangtq
    • Abstract ( 2425 )     HTML       
    • Based on cyclic autocorrelation, an algorithm of blind recognition of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals in the multi-path fading channels is proposed. Derivation of the cyclic autocorrelation characteristics for OFDM signals with a cyclic prefix in the multipath fading channels is done, it verifies that the cyclic autocorrelation of OFDM signals will appear peaks at a certain time delay, while single-carrier signals is without peaks. So, OFDM signals can be recognized from single-carrier signals in multipath fading channels. The new recognition algorithm eliminates the preprocessing tasks, such as symbol timing estimation, carrier and waveform recovery, and signal to noise ratio estimation as well. Also, the proposed algorithm is with low computational complexity and high recognition rate. Simulation verifies that the proposed recognition algorithm is correct and efficient.

    • Abstract ( 2461 )     HTML       
    • A timing synchronization scheme using constant amplitude zero auto correlation sequence as training sequence is proposed for multiple input multiple output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems in multipath fading channels. A modified cyclic delay sequence is used in each antenna. The cross correlation between local sequence and received signal and the symmetrical correlation of received signal are calculated respectively. The two correlations are then combined together to detect the time offset of each transmitter element. Furthermore, multipath backward searching technique is employed at the receivers to cope with the situation where the first path is not the strongest. The threshold is variable at different signal to noise ratios in order to guarantee acceptable synchronization performance. Performance of this proposed scheme is verified and compared by simulations in both additive white gaussian noise and multipath fading channels.

    • In order to solve the problem of resource location in content delivery networks, a new algorithm for selecting optimal service nodes is proposed. The algorithm provides a good solution for both service performance and overhead. First, by taking advantage of the network coordinates approach, the computation and communication overhead of different service nodes are computed depending on network and server status change. Then, based on the hierarchical clustering algorithm, all the service nodes are reorganized in the coordinate space. Finally, the user requests are adaptively redirected to the service nodes with minimum overhead without sacrificing the service performance. Experiments verified that the precision of resource location is improved and the overhead is reduced with acceptable time performance by the new algorithm.

    • For a two-user layered Alamouti-coded multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)system, the complexity of the maximum-likelihood decoding is high while full diversity is achieved. Using low-complexity partial interference cancellation (PIC) group decoding and its combination with successive interference cancellation (PIC-SIC) group decoding, one space-time coding scheme is proposed. Full diversity gain is proved to be achieved with the PIC-SIC group decoding by the analytical derivation of the symbol error rate. Simulation confirms the derivation and its better biterror rate performance over layered with the PIC and PIC-SIC group decoding.
