    • Journal of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. 2022, 45(5): 1-6.
    • Abstract ( 418 )       
    • Human trajectory prediction is an essential and challenging task in robot navigation and autonomous driving applications. One of the most challenging tasks is to model the interaction between pedestrians. Pairwise attention is used by most of the existing models to model the interaction. However, when there are too many pedestrians in the scene, these methods have redundancy in interaction modeling and ignore the interaction differences of pedestrians at different distances. To address these challenges, a multi-resolution global-local model is proposed, which contains a novel multi-region interaction sub-network to capture the global interaction and an additional local interaction sub-network to model pedestrians' interactions in the local neighborhood. In the meantime, the temporal attention mechanism is introduced in the proposed model to fuse the interactive information of different time steps. The experimental results show that compared with previous models, the proposed model achieves better performance on two publicly available datasets.

Then, the clearance elevation model is constructed, and an algorithm is designed to determine the type of limit surface where the point is on, and calculate the limit height. The constructed airport clearance 3D model and elevation model are applied to the actual study, which verifies the validity of the model, and the accuracy and speed of the clearance limit height calculation are improved. Furthermore, the visualization of the clearance model is realized based on Cesium, which is convenient for the staff to quickly judge whether the building exceeds the clearance limit.

    • Journal of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. 2022, 45(5): 23-29.
    • Abstract ( 811 )       
    • To maximize the spectral efficiency of the multiple-input multiple-output ( MIMO) system assisted by reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS), the active beamforming of base station and the phase shift design of RIS have to be considered jointly. Therefore, a beamforming scheme based on the improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is proposed. First, the joint beamforming problem is decomposed into active beamforming at the base station and phase shift design at RIS by using an alternating optimization algorithm. Then, the two problems are solved alternately by the water-filling algorithm and improved PSO algorithm. Finally, the proposed scheme is extended to the RIS of the practical phase-shift model. The experimental results show that the beamforming problem can be effectively solved by the proposed scheme, and the spectral efficiency of the system is greatly improved.

    • Abstract ( 638 )       
    • With the wide application of power batteries in new energy vehicles, problems such as battery failure diagnosis and retired battery evaluation have to be solved urgently. Evaluating the state-of-health is a significant topic in the power battery field. Based on the analysis of the driving data of electric vehicles,a model is proposed which can evaluate the discharge performance of lithium-ion power batteries. According to the randomness of charge-discharge data in battery work, the adjustment and adaptation are carried out in the proposed model to solve the problem that the traditional evaluation method is difficult to apply to the real scenario. Due to its low complexity, it can give the evaluation results quickly, which is suitable for mass battery evaluation. Experiments show that the discharge performance index extracted by the proposed model decreases as the cumulative mileage increases, which has a similar trend with the change of battery capacity with mileage according to the grey relational analysis. It can evaluate the current discharge capacity of the battery from the actual work circumstance, and provide a reference for evaluating the state-of-health comprehensively.

    • ZHU Jun, YANG Jun, LI Kai, YU Wenxin
    • Journal of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. 2022, 45(5): 36-41.
    • Abstract ( 253 )       
    • The incomplete sample space of ray-tracing-data may increase high-prediction-error users in the massive multiple-input multiple-output channel amplitude prediction. To characterize the channel propagation features of all users, a method for 3D ray reconstruction is proposed based on extended probability distribution conditional variational auto-encoder (CVAE). The prior probability distribution is selected based on the sparsity of user ray samples. A new training set of ray samples is generated for high-prediction-error users by enhancing CVAE to make the latent variable distribution of ray-tracing-data fit the features of high-prediction-error users better. The simulation results show that the number of high-prediction-error users can be reduced to 53.59% by new training set based on the proposed method. Moreover, the new set improves the channel amplitude prediction accuracy by 7.8% while significantly reducing the time overhead of predicting the channel amplitude.

    • Journal of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. 2022, 45(5): 42-48.
    • Abstract ( 340 )       
    • Accurate detection of tiny defects in printed circuit board processing is the prerequisite to ensure the quality of electronic products. Due to the small feature size and complex circuit layouts, the existing target detection methods have many shortcomings. To solve this problem, a YOLOv3-dense target detection model is proposed for printed circuit board defect detection based on YOLOv3 algorithm. First, dense connection network modules are used to replace some residual units in the feature extraction network so as to enhance feature reuse of the network. Then, the loss function is improved, and the generalized intersection ratio between the prediction box and the true value is used to solve the problem that the optimization cannot continue when the intersection ratio is zero. The experimental results show that compared with other models, the proposed model can improve the recognition accuracy and reduce the model size.

    • YE Kang, ZHANG Shujun, GUO Qi, LI Hui, CUI Xuehong
    • Journal of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. 2022, 45(5): 49-53,78.
    • Abstract ( 477 )       
    • To capture the global and local features of sign language actions and preserve the original structure and context in the image, an improved convolution multilayer perceptron Transformer ( CM-Transformer) model is proposed for continuous sign language recognition. The structural consistency advantage of convolution layer and the global modeling performance of self attention model encoder are combined by CM-Transformer to capture long-term sequence dependence. Meanwhile, the feedforward layer of self attention model is replaced by multilayer perceptron to perform translation invariance and locality. In addition, random frame discarding and random gradient stopping techniques are used to reduce the training computation in time and space, and prevent over fitting. Thus, an efficient and lightweight network has been constructed. Finally the connectionist temporal classification decoder is used to align the input and output sequences to obtain the final recognition result. Experimental results on two large benchmark data sets show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

    • Construction and Performance Analysis of SWIPT-Based Product Polar Coded Cooperation
    • ZHANG Shunwai, XIA Zihan
    • Journal of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. 2022, 45(5): 54-59.
    • Abstract ( 186 )       
    • In order to achieve green reliable communication, a product polar coded cooperation system based on simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) is proposed. Firstly, the product polar coded cooperation model based on SWIPT is established. Secondly, the polar code is used as the component code of the product code to construct the product polar code, which is row coded at the source node and column coded at the relay node. Finally, a two-step decoding algorithm with low decoding delay is proposed at the destination node. In the first step, row successive cancellation ( SC) decoding and column SC decoding are performed on the codeword matrix of the received product polar code. If the first step decoding fails, the second step decoding is performed, in which the codeword matrix of the product polar code is transformed into a single line polar code, and then decoded by SC. Theoretical analysis and simulation show that compared with point-to-point system, the product polar coded cooperation based on SWIPT greatly reduces the decoding delay. Compared with the product low density parity check coded cooperative system that uses the belief propagation decoding algorithm, the proposed system has better bit error performance.

    • LI Zhendong, TAN Zhenting, FANG Ping
    • Journal of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. 2022, 45(5): 60-65.
    • Abstract ( 291 )       
    • The dispersion relation of a monoatomic two-dimensional lattice with long-range interactions is derived according to the theory of lattice dynamics. Based on a simple harmonic approximation, a general dispersion relation that takes into account arbitrary neighbor interactions is obtained. The results of the nearest neighbor and the second nearest neighbor approximation are analyzed. When the order of the nearest neighbors p is large, the contribution of the pth nearest neighbors to the average vibration frequency in the Brillouin zone decays in a power law form with the increase of the neighbor number. Moreover, the long-range Coulomb interaction is analyzed as an example. Based on this microscopic dynamics, the effect of long-range interaction on macroscopic heat capacity is numerically investigated, and the heat capacity of the system decays in a power law form with the increase of the neighbor number.

    • Abstract ( 586 )       
    • The size of traditional electric antenna is proportional to the transmitted wavelength. Although the low-frequency electromagnetic wave (30 ~ 300 kHz) reaches several kilometers, the low-frequency electric antenna has some problems, such as excessively large size, poor concealment and high power consumption. To solve the problems of large size and power consumption of electrical antenna and improve the flexibility of low-frequency wireless communication applications, a mechanical antenna based on piezoelectric effect is proposed. Mechanical antenna generates electromagnetic waves by direct excitation of mechanical motion charges. The physical mechanism of the piezoelectric mechanical antenna is studied. The impedance characteristics of piezoelectric mechanical antenna are studied by impedance frequency curve. The low-frequency radiation performances of piezoelectric mechanical antennas with various side lengths are compared by using a wireless communication system. Meanwhile, the magnetic field radiated by piezoelectric mechanical antenna changes with the distance between the receiving end of wireless communication system and piezoelectric mechanical antenna, and its variation law is verified. The result shows that the piezoelectric mechanical antenna has great potential in portable, low-cost and high-performance low-frequency wireless communication applications.

    • DING Qingfeng, YANG Qian, XU Mengyin
    • Journal of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. 2022, 45(5): 91-96.
    • Abstract ( 330 )       
    • In order to ensure the anti-eavesdropping security of signal transmission, a mapping-varied strategy based on multiple reconfigurable intelligent surfaces ( RIS ) is proposed. First, based on instantaneous channel quality between RIS and transmitter, the transmitter selects different mapping modes of spatial modulation and constellation modulation to improve the difficulty of eavesdropping. In order to ensure the security rate and bit error rate of legitimate receivers, the position and phase shift of RIS are optimized to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio of legitimate receivers. Meanwhile, the gradient projection method is used to solve the non-convex constant mode constraint problem of RIS phase shift. Simulation results show that the proposed secure transmission strategy can guarantee the performance of the legitimate receiver at a lower signal-to-noise ratio. Meanwhile, in instantaneous mapping mode, the eavesdropper cannot decode the eavesdropping information correctly, which greatly ensures the anti-eavesdropping security of the system.

    • LI Xilan, DUAN Jizhong
    • Journal of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. 2022, 45(5): 97-102.
    • Abstract ( 262 )       
    • The sensitivity encoding ( SENSE) technique utilizes sensitivity information from multiple receiving coils to reduce scan time. The existing SENSE-based parallel MRI reconstruction methods have problems of artifacts and missing details, which is not conducive to clinical diagnosis. By introducing data-driven adaptive sparse transform learning (TL) into the SENSE algorithm, TL-SENSE algorithm is proposed, that reduce the artifacts and improve the quality of parallel MRI reconstruction. The proposed algorithm employs the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) to solve the target optimization problem. And The proposed algorithm comprises three steps: transform updating, hard threshold denoising and image updating. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm performs well in image denoising and restoration and preserves the texture details and edge information. It also achieves higher consistency between the reconstructed image and the original image. For the selected 48 sets of data, the average signal noise ratio of TL-SENSE increased by 4.62 dB, 1.91 dB, 1.30 dB and 0.89 dB compared with that of SENSE, L1-SENSE, TV-SENSE, and LpTV-SENSE, respectively.

    • Abstract ( 324 )       
    • A YOLOv3-based multi-target detection method is proposed to address the problem of missed and false detection caused by the small percentage of target pixels and mutual occlusion in traffic scenes. The method implants a spatial pyramid pooling module in the YOLOv3 network structure to enhance feature representation, and a multi-scale feature fusion mechanism is proposed to obtain both spatial information and semantic information. The semantic information of the target to be detected is refined by extending the prediction branch of the prediction layer. In addition, the improved K-means + + clustering algorithm is used to extract the initial center of the priori box and improve the matching degree between the prediction anchor box and the target to be detected. Meanwhile, a flexible non-maximum suppression algorithm is applied to adjust the confidence score flexibly. The experimental results based on the hybrid data set show that the proposed method improves the detection accuracy effectively.

    • Journal of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. 2022, 45(5): 109-114.
    • Abstract ( 296 )       
    • To solve the problem that the current dialogue system is mainly passive response and still unable to carry out active dialogue well, a knowledge driven human-machine active dialogue management strategy is proposed, which simulates human communication mode and divedes the dialogue into two sub-tasks: topic switching and topic depth. A personalized dialogue management strategy is designed to realize active guidance and topic transfer in multi-round dialogues. The proposed strategy determines the time of the system's active dialogue based on the emotional state of human-machine interaction, and uses the knowledge graph as the background knowledge information to actively search the multi-hop neighbor set of the dialogue entities that are triggered by the knowledge graph, so as to determine the next interaction content. For topics of users' negative emotions, new topics are actively sought for through outward communication method. For topics with users' positive emotions, the current topic can be deeply respond to through cohesion. The experimental results show that the initiative of model dialogue is improved by the strategy while balancing global dialogue coherence and local topic consistency, which is a new reference for the development of human-machine active dialogue system.

    • Abstract ( 823 )       
    • In the case of limited measurement information, Kalman filter (KF) is difficult to deal with unmanned aerial vehicle tracking by using a single motion model. To solve this problem, a novel long short-term memory(LSTM)-KF algorithm combining LSTM and KF algorithm is proposed. First, LSTM is used to predict the average and instantaneous velocity of the target so that the problem of poor generalization ability of nonparametric model can be solved in position prediction task. Then, the prediction limitation of KF algorithm using motion model is analyzed, and the method of using LSTM prediction results to modify the prediction results of motion model is proposed to reduce the prediction error. The revised prediction results are combined with the measurement data to realize the state estimation of the target. Finally, the proposed algorithm is verified on the generated trajectory. The simulation results show that LSTM-KF algorithm has higher tracking accuracy and stronger robustness than the existing models.
