  • To assist designers in designing large-scale urban underground parking lots characterized by irregular contour,large area and various obstacles,a mixed integer linear program model based on polygon decomposition is proposed to optimize the allocation of parking lots and roads together in the same direction within local irregular contours.This model not only considers the optimization of parking angles and position,but also has the ability to deal with the designing of parking lots and roads in contours of arbitrary shape.A decomposition method based on particle swarm optimization algorithm is presented to solve the model and engineering drawings were used to validate its efficiency.It is shown that the proposed method can arrange local irregular contours efficiently and help designers to find the optimal design of parking lots.Via visualization and human-computer interaction,the designers' development efficiency can be largely improved.

  • Aiming at the trade-off between the decoding complexity and the decoding performance of low-density parity check (LDPC) codes, and improving the reliability and applicability of the decoding algorithm, a dynamic self-corrected minimum sum(DSCMS)algorithm is proposed based on the self-corrected minimum sum(SCMS)algorithm. In the process of iterative decoding, the algorithm sets the threshold according to the variable node message, clarifies the judgement of the message reliability in SCMS, and improves the error characteristics and convergence characteristics of the algorithm. Simulation results show that the error performance and convergence performance of DSCMS are better than those of SCMS. When the coding rate is 1/2, the number of iterations of DSCMS can be reduced by up to 7.15% compared with SCMS.

  • Aiming at the inherent correlation of azimuths and tilts of the antennas installed on the base stations, a quaternion-based particle swarm optimization algorithms is proposed to optimize the coverage performance for mobile networks, in which the quaternions represents the antenna orientations, and the rotations formed by the multiplication in the quaternion field ensures that the feasible solutions, that is the particles, update along the shortest paths. Moreover, the author considers the process to perform infinitesimal movements towards different directions in turn and thus introduced a blending quaternion-based particle swarm optimization algorithm to overcome the problems that the destination of the particle movement depends upon the order of directions including along the inertial velocity, towards the individual historical optimal solution and towards the global optimal solution, which is indeed caused by the anti-commutative law of quaternions. Simulations show that the proposed algorithms, especially the latter, perform better than the canonical particle swarm algorithm, firefly algorithm and genetic algorithm both in the convergence efficiency and the final optimized coverage.

  • Journal of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. 2020, 43(4): 27-31. DOI:10.13190/j.jbupt.2019-268
  • Abstract ( 612 )     HTML     　　
  • A simple dual-band band-pass filter is proposed. It is composed of an unequal-length cross-shaped resonator and parallel coupled lines feed structures. Due to the symmetry of the filter distribution circuit, the transmission zero and transmission pole are analyzed using the even-odd mode analysis method. The designed filter has 3 transmission zeros and 4 transmission poles. The positions of the transmission zeros do not change with the changing of the impedance parameters. Among 4 transmission poles, the first even-mode transmission pole and the first odd-mode transmission pole constitute the first passband, and the remaining two transmission poles constitute the second passband. Compared with the equal-length cross-shaped filter, this structure has one extra transmission pole. The passband bandwidth can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the transmission poles. Then the physical parameters of the designed filter are given. The simulated results of the designed filter are obtained. Finally, the designed filter is fabricated and measured. Simulations are basically consistent with the measured ones, which verify the correctness of the design theory.

  • The noise robustness and parameter estimation performance of the classical three-dimensional estimating signal parameter via rotational invariance techniques (3D-ESPRIT) algorithm are poor when estimating parameters of the three dimensional geometric theory of diffraction(3D-GTD) model at low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). To solve this problem, a modified algorithm is proposed. The modified algorithm improves the parameter estimation accuracy by constructing conjugated matrix of the original back-scattered data, averaging the covariance matrices and performing quadratic power on the total covariance matrix to get another novel covariance matrix. The modified algorithm can broaden the differences between the eigenvalues of noises and signals, which is equivalent to increase SNR. Based on the parameters estimated by different algorithms, root-mean-square-errors of different parameters can be compared. Simulations verify that the parameter estimation performance and noise robustness of the modified algorithm are better than the classical 3D-ESPRIT algorithm and the improved algorithm without pair.

  • Abstract ( 497 )     HTML     　　
  • To improve the storage mechanism to provide a general privacy protection service, a data protection model based on edge computing is presented. The original data collected by wireless sensor networks is differentiated by privacy computing algorithm on edge servers. A small amount of core data is stored on edge servers and local servers,while other data is transferred to the cloud for storage. Based on the model,even if the data stored in the cloud is leaked,the original data cannot be recovered,so the privacy of the data can be ensured. The differential storage method reduces the data sent to the cloud and decreases the communication cost and storage cost. Both theoretical analyses and a large number of experiments have proved the effectiveness of the proposed method.

  • Abstract ( 609 )     HTML     　　
  • Due to the fading of the channel,the energy harvester converts the harvested electromagnetic wave energy into a power source for transmitting wireless signals again,and its power has random dynamic characteristics. Aiming at the wireless communication environment with Nakagami-m channel fading,linear radio frequency energy harvesters combining with multi-slot "harvest-storage-use" and "harvest-use" schemes to realize EH are proposed. The effective throughput of the "harvest-storage-use" EH scheme and the average bit error rate of binary digital coherent and incoherent demodulation of the "harvest-use" EH scheme are studied and analyzed. The simulation results show that the wireless communication adopting the "harvest-storage-use" strategy has the optimal number of time slots to achieve the best effective throughput,while the wireless communication adopting the "harvest-use" EH scheme should use a small number of time slots to balance the bit error rate and communication delay.

  • Abstract ( 766 )     HTML     　　
  • In massive-multiple input multiple output (massive-MIMO) multi-user system, the existing energy efficiency (EE) and spectral efficiency (SE) trade-off performance methods cannot adapt to the changing scenarios for single objective optimization, and thus cannot effectively track the optimization objectives. To solve this problem, a trade-off method of energy efficiency and spectral efficiency is proposed, which can adapt to the changing scenarios. By constructing a trade-off optimization function between them, the non-convex multi-objective optimization problem is transformed into a single-objective convex optimization problem, and solved by Lagrange multiplier method. The theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the proposed trade-off method can change the system energy efficiency or spectral efficiency by setting a trade-off factor under the power consumption limitation of the system circuit, and simultaneously obtain the optimal performance trade-off of energy efficiency and spectral efficiency.

  • The ranging accuracy and image sharpness of radar system are directly related to parameters of time-to-digital converter(TDC), including measurement resolution, linearity, temperature adaptability and so on. A double-chain three-route TDC with high-resolution is designed based on Xilinx 28 nm Artix-7 field programmable gate array(FPGA), which could break the resolution limitation of the single delay tap and effectively subdivide the wide tap. The structure offers significant advantages of low cost and high resolution. The pipeline encoders are designed to economize logic cells. The code density scheme is used to determine the exact value of the bin width one by one and the equivalent resolution. The chip temperature is determined according to the xilinx analog to digital converter module in the FPGA and the temperature calibration coefficient could be obtained to correct the measurement value. Parameter indexes of the TDCs included 5.63 ps equivalent bin width and 11.7 ps root mean square resolution under normal temperature. The compensation is finished in the circuit in the range from 5 ℃ to 85 ℃. Compared with the six-chain delay line TDC, the double-chain three-route TDC has the similar index, which reduces the utilization of logic resources of the FPGA by up to 43.1% and cuts power consumption by up to 36.8% respectively.

  • Based on satisfying the requirements of end-to-end delay and reliable service among nodes,to solve the problem of high energy consumption of existing multi-path routing protocols,a quality of multi-service(QoS) constrained route algorithm for edge computing and node energy optimization(MQEN) was proposed. The QoS constraints of end-to-end delay,reliability,and energy expenditure were considered. The related technologies of edge computing and machine learning were utilized to create a sensor network model of multi-constrained majorization path,introducing a wake-up strategy of energy-aware node as well as reward and punishment mechanism based on learning automaton. This algorithm combined edge computing to preprocess the original data of the node,speeding up effective data transmission and treatment. The automata-environment interaction approach was adopted to accelerate algorithm convergence. The technique of sleep activation of control node was employed to optimize network power consumption and extend the network life cycle. Experiments indicate that the MQEN algorithm reduces network power expenditure and corresponds to the demands of multiple QoS constraints for the end-to-end delay and credible services.

  • In view of the threat of low-rate denial of service attacks on inter-domain routing system,the existing failure recovery methods fail to solve problems including high time complexity and node aggregation control. A failure-recovery algorithm based on degree-constrained minimum spanning tree named degree-constrained minimum spanning tree based failure recovery (DR) is proposed. By designing the Fundamental Transfer sub-algorithm and the complex transfer sub-algorithm,a new recovery topology can be constructed according to the survival topology of the attacked routing system under the condition of given degree constraint. For the above two types of transfer sub-algorithms,two selection sub-algorithms are respectively advanced for the determination and calculation of key nodes. Theoretical analysis and simulation experiments verify that the recovery topology generated by DR has better performance while effectively controlling the node degree.
