  • Based on the dual-system integration scenario, the geometric dilution of precision is modeled. Due to the low real-time performance of the traditional algorithm, a satellite selection algorithm based on the geometric distribution of satellites and differential evolution is proposed. According to the distribution of the elevation angle and the system type, the distribution of the satellite combination is determined. By setting different fitness thresholds and adaptively changing and the population size according to the number of remaining satellites, the rapid satellite selection is realized. Simulations show that, compared with the traditional algorithms, the proposed algorithm has a difference range from 0 to 0.25. And the average time to select a hundred times at a single time is 8.09% of the traditional algorithm; Moreover, this algorithm can be applied to dual-mode navigation scenarios where the number of visible satellites increases.

  • The coexistence mechanism between enhanced mobile broadband(eMBB) and ultra reliability low latency communication(URLLC) is an important problem in the evolution of the fifth generation of mobile communications system. Existing downlink multiplexing mechanisms include resource reservation and puncture preemption with different characteristics and performance. A fuzzy logic based multiplexing mechanism selection algorithm is proposed to make optimal selections between resource reservation and puncture preemption according to the characteristics of URLLC services. The algorithm improves the system performance by combining the advantages of the two mechanisms. Simulations show that the queueing delay of URLLC services is reduced by nearly 50% after the optimal selection. At the same time, the reduction in throughput of eMBB services caused by URLLC services is less than 4%.

  • Aiming at the problem that the depth of network is related to the size of training image patches and improving the matching accuracy for the weak texture and edge regions, a multiscale attention network for stereo matching is presented. The method is divided into two stages:in the first stage, a deep network for computing matching cost is proposed, which is composed of basic layer and scale layer, in the second stage, a disparity refinement network based on multiscale attention is proposed, in which multiple disparity clues are combined and multiscale attention is added to boost stereo matching accuracy. The percentage of 3-pixel bad points on KITTI 2012, KITTI 2015, and SceneFlow is 1.13%, 1.87%, and 2.29%, respectively.

  • In order to achieve low-latency data transmission in the cloud wireless access network (C-RAN), a base station caching and fronthaul link multicast transmission mode is proposed to minimize the system transmission delay by jointly optimizing fronthaul link beamforming and access link beamforming. The non-convex time delay minimization problem is transformed into a convex one by using L0 norm approximation, successive convex approximation and semi-definite relaxation techniques. An effective iterative algorithm is proposed to obtain the solution of the problem. The proposed scheme can determine the service status of base stations, which are suspended service, continuing service status according to the content cached by base stations and the channel quality of fronthaul link. They are different from the traditional multicast transmission for cache-enabled C-RAN. Simulations show that compared with the traditional scheme, the proposed scheme can effectively reduce the system transmission delay.

  • Currently commonly-used micro electro mechanical system magnetic sensors have time-varying soft magnetic and hard magnetic errors, which seriously affect the performance of geomagnetic-based heading estimation and geomagnetic matching positioning algorithms. Using the opportunistic natural rotation of pedestrians during normal walking, the gyroscope is used to sense the small-scale attitude changes of magnetic sensors, and a nonlinear objective cost function based on residual dynamic weighting is constructed, which contains multiple optimal magnetic observation pairs. The cuckoo nonlinear optimization algorithm with global optimal solution is used to dynamically estimate the soft and hard magnetic errors online. The average heading error of 3.09 degrees can be reduced by using the proposed magnetic calibration algorithm, and the relative error of the navigation estimation is 2.09% when tested on the pedestrian dead reckoning algorithm.

  • The global navigation satellite system does not work ideally, because the satellite signal decays rapidly indoors due to the occlusion and absorption of building materials. As a result, the localization technologies based on beacons become state-of-art indoor localization technologies. The accuracy of these localization technologies is tightly related to the beacons' calibration accuracy. Based on the fact that beacons are usually set on the walls, a beacons self-calibration technology based on building information modeling is proposed to improve the performance of self-calibration. In the meantime, Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) is used to analyse its performance in theory. Based on the semidefinite programming self-calibration algorithm, the proposed algorithm considers to use the building information modeling. CRLB analysis and simulation shows the proposed algorithm efficiently improve the accuracy of self-calibration.

  • The training set of the existing person re-identification model comes from limited fixed collection equipment, and the sample style lacks diversity. Through the cyclic generative adversarial network, the image data captured by different cameras can be styled and style transferred, which can improve the diversity of sample styles at a lower cost. In order to improve the generalization ability of the model, a new training mechanism of positive and negative samples fusion is designed. Firstly, the samples after the style transfer are regarded as negative samples, and the samples before the style transfer are regarded as positive samples. The positive and negative samples are sent to the model training at the same time. Furthermore, in order to prevent over fitting and consider the loss of false labels positions, label smoothing regularization is adopted. At the same time, in order to pay more attention to difficult and error-prone samples, and to optimize the loss of negative samples, a focal loss function is adopted. Experiments show that there is a significant increase of 1.51% and 2.07% on the Market-1501 and DukeMTMC-reID datasets, respectively.

  • In order to solve the problems such as low precision, poor anti-jamming ability in attitude estimation algorithms based on filtering for low-cost inertial sensors, a new adaptive hybrid filter algorithm based on conjugate gradient method and complementary filter is proposed. The conjugate gradient algorithm adopted to process the data measured by accelerometer and magnetometer at first, and estimated their attitude quaternion iteratively. Then, the complementary filter is used to fuse the information of the gyro updated attitude and the iterative optimized attitude of the conjugate gradient method. Finally, according to the motion state of the carrier, the complementary filtering parameter is adjusted adaptively to obtain the optimal attitude estimation. To verify that the algorithm is feasible and anti-interference, it is compared with other filter fusion algorithms in the experiments of anti-magnetic interference and anti-interference of motion acceleration. It is shown that the proposed algorithm effectively reduces the interferences caused by magnetic field and motion acceleration, and has better precision of attitude angle estimation than that of traditional gradient descent algorithm, Gauss Newton algorithm and conjugate gradient algorithm.

  • In order to realize high-precision identification of multiple communication emitters in low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) environment, a method of communication emitter identification based on steady-state cyclic spectrum characteristics is proposed. By using the strong robustness of cyclic spectrum's cross-sectional spectrum in frequency domain to Gaussian noise, the intrinsic differences between shaping filters of different emitters are extracted for identification. Specifically, the cyclic spectrum's cross-sectional spectra in frequency domain are extracted from the received steady-state signals, and the dimensions are reduced by principal component analysis. Then the emitters' categories are determined by Pearson correlation coefficient method, probabilistic neural network and Fréchet distance method, etc. Simulation shows that the proposed feature is superior to the traditional slice feature in cyclic frequency domain by using probabilistic neural network and Pearson correlation coefficient, which proves that it has certain application value.
