Vertical handoff algorithm in heterogeneous networks to maximize system benefit

A new vertical handoff decision algorithm is proposed to maximize the system benefit in heterogeneous wireless networks which comprise cellular networks and wireless local area networks (WLANs). Firstly the block probability, the drop probability and the number of users in the heterogeneous networks are calculated in the channel-guard call admission method, and a function of the system benefit which is based on the new call arrival rate and the handoff call arrival rate is proposed. Then the optimal radius of WLAN is obtained by using simulation annealing (SA) method to maximize the benefit. All the nodes should handoff from cellular network to WLAN if they enter WLAN’s scope and handoff fromWLAN to cellular network if they leave the scope. Finally, the algorithm in different new call arrival rates and handoff call arrival rates is analyzed and results show that it can achieve good effects.     

Automatic patent document summarization for collaborative knowledge systems and services

Engineering and research teams often develop new products and technologies by referring to inventions described in patent databases. Efficient patent analysis builds R&D knowledge, reduces new product development time, increases market success, and reduces potential patent infringement. Thus, it is beneficial to automatically and systematically extract information from patent documents in order to improve knowledge sharing and collaboration among R&D team members. In this research, patents are summarized using a combined ontology based and TF-IDF concept clustering approach. The ontology captures the general knowledge and core meaning of patents in a given domain. Then, the proposed methodology extracts, clusters, and integrates the content of a patent to derive a summary and a cluster tree diagram of key terms. Patents from the International Patent Classification (IPC) codes B25C, B25D, B25F (categories for power hand tools) and B24B, C09G and H011 (categories for chemical mechanical polishing) are used as case studies to evaluate the compression ratio, retention ratio, and classification accuracy of the summarization results. The evaluation uses statistics to represent the summary generation and its compression ratio, the ontology based keyword extraction retention ratio, and the summary classification accuracy. The results show that the ontology based approach yields about the same compression ratio as previous non-ontology based research but yields on average an 11% improvement for the retention ratio and a 14% improvement for classification accuracy.

Reduced K-best sphere decoding algorithm based on minimum route distance and noise variance

This paper focuses on reducing the complexity of K-best sphere decoding （SD） algorithm for the detection of uncoded multi-ple input multiple output （MIMO） systems. The proposed algorithm utilizes the threshold-pruning method to cut nodes with partial Euclidean distances （PEDs） larger than the threshold. Both the known noise value and the unknown noise value are considered to generate the threshold, which is the sum of the two values. The known noise value is the smal est PED of signals in the detected layers. The unknown noise value is generated by the noise power, the quality of service （QoS） and the signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） bound. Simulation results show that by considering both two noise values, the proposed algorithm makes an efficient reduction while the performance drops little.     

Optimized LDPC differential-encoded 16QAM scheme for high-speed transmission systems

The 16-ary quadrature amplitude modulation （16QAM） is a high spectral efficient scheme for high-speed transmission systems. To remove the phase ambiguity in the coherent detection system, differential-encoded 16QAM （DE-16QAM） is usually used, however, it will cause performance degradation about 3 dB as compared to the conventional 16QAM. To overcome the performance loss, a serial concatenated system with outer low density parity check （LDPC） codes and inner DE-16QAM is proposed. At the receiver, joint iterative differential demodulation and decoding （ID） is carried out to approach the maximum likelihood performance. Moreover, a genetic evolution algorithm based on the extrinsic information transfer chart is proposed to optimize the degree distribution of the outer LDPC codes. Both theoretical analyses and simulation results indicate that this algorithm not only compensates the performance loss, but also obtains a significant performance gain, which is up to 1 dB as compared to the conventional non-DE-16QAM.     

An Analysis of an SIRS Epidemic Model with General Direct Immunization in Networks北大核心CSCD

We consider an SIRS epidemic model with a general direct immunization rate on networks. By constructing suitable Lyapunov functions, we find that the dynamical behvaior of the model is completely determined by the epidemic threshold λc. When λ≤λc, the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable; when λ>λc, the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. In addition, we propose a uniform direct immunization and a targeted direct immunization. The results show that under the same average immunization rate s there exists a critical immunization-lost rate δc so that the epidemic threshold of the targeted direct immunization is smaller (larger) than that of the uniform direct immunization if δ<δc(δ>δc). © 2017, The Journal of Agency of Complex Systems and Complexity Science.

MIMO-OFDM系统中联合时域和空间域信号处理的改进PTS算法

为了降低多输入多输出正交频分复用(multiple input multiple output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, MIMO-OFDM)系统中传统部分传输序列(partial transmit sequence, PTS)算法的计算复杂度,提出了联合时域和空间域信号处理的改进PTS算法。在时域信号处理部分,通过信号子块循环移位实现备选序列的增加;在空间域部分,利用天线间信号子块交换实现峰均功率比(peak to average power ratio, PAPR)抑制。同时在接收端 ,利用子块相位旋转引起的相位差异,本方法通过比较接收信号与星座点的距离,可以实现信号的盲检测,从而有效高MIMO-OFDM系统的频谱利用率。仿真结果表明,提出的方法能有效地抑制MIMO-OFDM信号的PAPR,而且明显降低了传统PTS算法的计算复杂度,同时可获得跟传统PTS方法已知边带副信息时相似的比特误码率(bit error rate, BER)性能。     

基于GIS和USLE模型的巢湖流域土壤侵蚀评价

土壤侵蚀是全世界都关心的土地资源与环境保护问题。巢湖作为中国第五大淡水湖,近年来由于水体富营养化产生的水华现象引起多方重视,对巢湖流域土壤侵蚀评估对于环境保护战略与土地规划政策具有重要的意义。基于GIS平台,采用通用土壤流失方程(USLE)来评估巢湖流域14县/区2000年到2010年土壤侵蚀空间分布变化趋势。研究表明:(1)巢湖流域土壤侵蚀严重区域主要分布在金安区、舒城县、居巢区以及含山县的丘陵地区,即杭埠河-丰乐河流域、裕溪河流域与柘皋河流域的上游地区;(2)从2000年到2010年,土壤微度侵蚀、强度侵蚀、极强度侵蚀和剧烈侵蚀区域占巢湖流域总面积比例分别减少了0.5%、0.05%、0.21%和0.23%,而轻度侵蚀、中度侵蚀区域所占比例分别增加了0.98%和0.01%,总体呈现土壤强度侵蚀、极强度侵蚀与剧烈侵蚀区域向轻、中度侵蚀转移的趋势。(3)植被覆盖度变化是巢湖流域土壤侵蚀分级发生变化的主要原因,总体上,2000~2010年研究区由于植被覆盖度的波动性增加呈现土壤侵蚀分级波动性降低的趋势。
