  • The problem of predicting an ongoing business process based on sequence is discussed. Business process predictive monitoring is an important part of process mining. Most of the existing research focuses on forecasting based on explicit workflow models. However, the enterprise may not implement end-to-end workflow modeling and management for the process, or only own partial execution logs due to permissions. In these cases, it is difficult to make prediction based on the complete process model. This article proposes a frequent activity set based sequence encoding method to handle the low-frequency activities in the log, and performs prediction by searching historical similar data. As the log is updated, the algorithm will adapt to model changes due to the concept drift. The algorithm is validated on real data sets.

  • Journal of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. 2019, 42(4): 8-14. DOI:10.13190/j.jbupt.2018-125
  • Abstract ( 382 )     HTML     　　
  • A joint anti-interference optimization algorithm for multiple readers is proposed, which integrates random access and power control strategies. Firstly, considering the effects of access probability, transmitting power and channel selection on the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the reader, the anti-interference problem of multiple readers is modeled as a mixed integer programming problem. Secondly, the generalized Benders decomposition method is used to decompose the algorithm into an easy-to-solve primal problem and a master problem of binary programming. It is proved that the algorithm converges to the global optimal solution. Finally, the simulation results show that the algorithm outperforms the existing schemes in tag recognition rate and fairness.

  • Journal of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. 2019, 42(4): 15-23. DOI:10.13190/j.jbupt.2018-276
  • Abstract ( 487 )     HTML     　　
  • Broadband directional antenna arrays have uncertain phase centers, non-uniformly distributed far-field phases and limited main lobe widths. To settle these problems, a sectorial direction of arrival (DOA) estimation model of uniform circular array composed of directional antennas is proposed. Firstly, the phase center of one directional antenna is estimated by the optimization principle, the effective aperture of the array is deduced and the directional steering vector is constructed as well. Subsequently, considering the integrated effect of phase disturbance and phase center estimation error on DOA estimation accuracy, the error vector is analyzed and deduced. Finally, a DOA estimation model of conventional ideal point source antenna array is improved and some factors affecting DOA estimation error are simulated. Simulations show that the model has the advantages of small number of antennas and high accuracy of DOA estimation under the same error factors.

  • Abstract ( 517 )     HTML     　　
  • An improved approximate point-in-triangulation test (APIT) localization algorithm which based on weighted hybrid filtering and center of gravity method (HFG-APIT) was proposed. Hybrid filtering is used to filter abrupt signal strength values to make the data output smoothly and stably. Weighted median is then used to improve the accuracy of received signal strength indication (RSSI), the center of gravity method is used for interior point testing to reduce misjudgment and improve localization accuracy. Simulation results show that the hybrid filtering algorithm has higher ranging accuracy than other filtering methods in processing RSSI data and the localization errors of HFG-APIT are 41.7% and 23.8% of RSSI localization algorithm based on least squares method (LSM-RSSI) and APIT localization algorithm, the localization performance is also better than the other two algorithms.

  • ZHENG Shi-hui, WEN Kai, GU Li-ze
  • Journal of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. 2019, 42(4): 38-42. DOI:10.13190/j.jbupt.2018-287
  • Abstract ( 493 )     HTML     　　
  • After the advent of quantum computers, the widely used public key cryptosystem will be broken, so it is urgent to propose new public key schemes to resistant quantum computing attacks. A single qubit-rotation transformation and classical one-way functions (Hash functions) are used to construct a multi-qubit quantum public key encryption scheme. The analysis results show that the new scheme is against the known forward search attack and a chosen ciphertext attack. Furthermore, the number of public key qubits used in the new scheme is obviously lower than that in the scheme presented by Kawachi et al.

  • Abstract ( 470 )     HTML     　　
  • In order to meet the quality of service requirements of different types of users in different application scenarios and improve spectrum efficiency, the wireless resource allocation model is constructed based on network slicing. In order to obtain the optimal resource allocation scheme, the quality of service requirements of users are transformed into the wireless resources requirements, and the wireless resource optimization problem is formulated with the goal of maximizing the total system rate. Since the optimization is a mixed integer nonlinear optimization, the complexity of optimal solution is considerably high. A solution based on Lagrange duality is proposed and the solving algorithm is given. Finally, compared with the proportional fairness algorithm and the maximum system capacity algorithm, the simulation results show that the proposed algorithm improves the system capacity while sacrificing partial fairness, which verifies the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

  • Abstract ( 483 )     HTML     　　
  • To solve low accuracy of parameter estimation and high complexity of algorithms in frequency hopping signal under low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and complex electromagnetic environment, a new algorithm combined short-time Fourier transform (STFT) with smoothed pseudo Winger-Ville distribution (SPWVD) is proposed. Firstly, the received signals are converted to time-frequency domain by using STFT, and then adaptive noise reduction is used in time-frequency domain. Secondly, the accurate frequency is estimated by adaptive clustering algorithm. Thirdly, the time-frequency information of the signals is extracted and all kinds of interference are eliminated. After the network is sorted, the rough estimation range of the hopping time can be calculated. Finally, SPWVD algorithm and a truncation threshold are used to deal with the rough estimation range, and then a precise frequency estimation is obtained. Simulations show that the parameter estimation of the algorithm has high accuracy and low complexity under the condition of hybrid networking and low SNR. The parameter estimation problem of existing frequency switching time in actual frequency hoppingcommunication system has been effectively solved.

  • A requests redirection algorithm for load balance based on buffer queueing length dynamic prediction (BMP) was presented. The M/M/1 model is used to describe the load balancing problem for content distribution networks. This method provides reduction of the unnecessary redirection with the queueing length prediction mechanism. And meanwhile, the overload of single point can be avoided. Evaluation shows that the proposed BMP algorithm achieved more balancing effect in server queue length compared to the so-called control law for load balancing algorithm. And the total cost of the request response time is obviously decreased due to the natively reduction of the unnecessary request redirection.

  • Combining Text Classification and Text Matching for FAQ-Based Question Answering
  • MO Qi, WANG Xiao-jie
  • Journal of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. 2019, 42(4): 76-81. DOI:10.13190/j.jbupt.2018-299
  • Abstract ( 325 )     HTML     　　
  • Text classification and text matching are two ways to solve the frequently asked questions (FAQ)-based question answering. However, using the text classification method alone cannot effectively utilize the information of the standard question itself. When the text matching method is used alone, the selection of the negative sample is a very difficult problem. A series of models that combine text classification and text matching methods are proposed, which not only can select negative examples that really need to be distinguished, but also can effectively use the information of standard questions. Experiments show that the proposed models achieve the best performance on multiple FAQ-based question answering data.
