Workshop Oriented Tolerance Synthesis for Spatial PKM

To promote the pose accuracy performance of a spatial parallel kinematic Mechanism( PKM) in service,a workshop oriented tolerance synthesis method based on design of experiment( DOE) is proposed,which involves two consecutive stages. In the first stage of DOE,the tolerance factor sensitivities are obtained according to initial tolerance settings with the consideration of the current manufacturing capacity,and the second stage of DOE makes use of them to produce multiple tolerance allocations which can adapt to current manufacturing capacity. A tolerance synthesis procedure is developed and integrated in tolerance design system for PKM. Comparing the results with peer method,the validity and practicability of this method is verified.     

Simulation and Analysis of the Impacts of Anisotropic Ionospheric Scintallition on Geosynchronous Synthetic Aperture Radar

The impacts of ionospheric scintillation on geosynchronous synthetic aperture radar (GEO SAR) focusing is studied based on the multiple phase screen (MPS) theory. The power spectrum density of electron irregularities is first modified according to the ionospheric anisotropy. Then propagation wave equations in random medium are deduced in the case of oblique incidence in GEO SAR. The amplitude and phase errors induced by the random electron fluctuations are generated by the iterated MPS simulations and are superimposed into the GEO SAR signals. Through the following imaging and evaluation, the effects of the anisotropic ionospheric scintallition on GEO SAR are assessed. At last, the optimized integration time under different ionospheric scintillation conditions are recommended through Monte Carlo experiments. It is concluded that, greater ionospheric fluctuations and longer integration time will result in more severe deterioration, even no focus at all in the worst case.     

Exploiting Spectral-Energy Efficiency Tradeoff with Fairness in Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access Systems

The spectral efficiency (SE) and energy efficiency (EE) tradeoff while ensuring rate fairness among users in non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) systems is investigated. In order to characterize the SE-EE tradeoff with rate fairness, a multi-objective optimization (MOO) problem is first formulated, where the rate fairness is represented with the α-fair utility function. Then, the MOO problem is converted into a single-objective optimization (SOO) problem by the weighted sum method. To solve the converted non-convex SOO problem, we apply sequential convex programming, which helps to propose a general power allocation algorithm to realize the SE-EE tradeoff with rate fairness. We prove the convergence of the proposed algorithm and the convergent solution satisfies the KKT conditions. Simulation results demonstrate the proposed power allocation algorithm can achieve various levels of rate fairness, and higher fairness results in degraded performance of SE-EE tradeoff. A pivotal conclusion is reached that NOMA systems significantly outperform orthogonal multiple access systems in terms of SE-EE tradeoff with the same level of rate fairness.     

An improved artificial physics approach to multiple UAVs/UGVs heterogeneous coordination

This paper proposed an improved artificial physics(AP)method to solve the autonomous navigation problem for multiple unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs)/unmanned ground vehicles(UGVs)heterogeneous coordination in the three-dimensional space.The basic AP method has a shortcoming of easily plunging into a local optimal solution,which can result in navigation fails.To avoid the local optimum,we improved the AP method with a random scheme.In the improved AP method,random forces are used to make heterogeneous multi-UAVs/UGVs escape from local optimum and achieve global optimum.Experimental results showed that the improved AP method can achieve smoother trajectories and smaller time consumption than the basic AP method and basic potential field method(PFM).     

Image Classification Based on the Fusion of Complementary Features

Image classification based on bag-of-words (BOW) has a broad application prospect in pattern recognition field but the shortcomings such as single feature and low classification accuracy are apparent. To deal with this problem, this paper proposes to combine two ingredients:(i) Three features with functions of mutual complementation are adopted to describe the images, including pyramid histogram of words (PHOW), pyramid histogram of color (PHOC) and pyramid histogram of orientated gradients (PHOG). (ii) An adaptive feature-weight adjusted image categorization algorithm based on the SVM and the decision level fusion of multiple features are employed. Experiments are carried out on the Caltech 101 database, which confirms the validity of the proposed approach. The experimental results show that the classification accuracy rate of the proposed method is improved by 7%-14% higher than that of the traditional BOW methods. With full utilization of global, local and spatial information, the algorithm is much more complete and flexible to describe the feature information of the image through the multi-feature fusion and the pyramid structure composed by image spatial multi-resolution decomposition. Significant improvements to the classification accuracy are achieved as the result.

Super-Resolution Image Reconstruction Based on an Improved Maximum a Posteriori Algorithm

A maximum a posteriori (MAP) algorithm is proposed to improve the accuracy of super resolution (SR) reconstruction in traditional methods.The algorithm applies both joints image registration and SR reconstruction in the framework,but separates them in the process of iteratiion.Firstly,we estimate the shifting parameters through two low resolution (LR) images and use the parameters to reconstruct initial HR images.Then,we update the shifting parameters using HR images.The aforementioned steps are repeated until the ideal HR images are obtained.The metrics such as PSNR and SSIM are used to fully evaluate the quality of the reconstructed image.Experimental results indicate that the proposed method can enhance image resolution efficiently.     

Novel LFM Jammer Suppression Algorithm for DSSS in FRFT Domain

A novel algorithm is proposed to resolve the defects in the traditional linear frequency modulation (LFM) jamming suppression algorithm in the fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) domain. The traditional LFM jamming suppression algorithm in the FRFT domain has some defects. For example, the exact threshold is difficult to set and both the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) loss and spectrum leakage are serious in strong jamming-to-signal ratio (JSR) situations. Windowing, overlapping and inverse windowing techniques are used in the FRFT domain to reduce the spectrum leakage and the SNR loss. Under the condition that only the direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) signal and white Gaussian noise are present, the amplitude of the received signal after FRFT is assumed to be Rayleigh distributed. Based on the distribution characteristic, hypothesis testing is used to suppress the jamming spectrum using the algorithm. Simulation results show that the performance of proposed algorithm is better than that of the conventional algorithms, especially in a strong jamming and multi component LFM jamming environment.     

Robust Control Strategy for the Speed Control of Brushless DC Motor

Brushless DC motor (BLDCM) speed servo system is multivariable, nonlinear and strong coupling. The parameter variation, the cogging torque and the load disturbance easily influence its performance. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve superior performance by using the conventional PID controller. To solve the deficiency, the paper represents the algorithm of active-disturbance rejection control (ADRC) based on back-propagation (BP) neural network. The ADRC is independent on accurate system and its extended-state observer can estimate the disturbance of the system accurately. However, the parameters of Nonlinear Feedback (NF) in ADRC are difficult to obtain. So in this paper, these parameters are self-turned by the BP neural network. The simulation and experiment results indicate that the ADRC based on BP neural network can improve the performances of the servo system in rapidity, control accuracy, adaptability and robustness.     

Fault diagnosis of power-shift steering transmission based on multiple outputs least squares support vector regression

A method of multiple outputs least squares support vector regression (LS-SVR) was developed and described in detail, with the radial basis function (RBF) as the kernel function. The method was applied to predict the future state of the power-shift steering transmission (PSST). A prediction model of PSST was gotten with multiple outputs LS-SVR. The model performance was greatly influenced by the penalty parameter γ and kernel parameterσ2 which were optimized using cross validation method. The training and prediction of the model were done with spectrometric oil analysis data. The predictive and actual values were compared and a fault in the second PSST was found. The research proved that this method had good accuracy in PSST fault prediction, and any possible problem in PSST could be found through a comparative analysis.

MSMSE-based optimal beamforming design and simplification on AF MIMO two-way relay channels

An optimal cooperative beamforming for the amplify-and-forward (AF) MIMO two-way relay channels was designed. Supposing the channel state information (CSI) was perfectly known by the receiver and transmitter as well as the relay, optimal beamforming vectors (matrices) of all nodes were jointly designed based on the criterion of minimizing the sum mean square errors (MSMSE). The analysis result shows that the performance effect of transmitting and receiving beamforming pairs is to maximize the receive signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at two communication nodes, and the rank of the optimal relay beamforming matrix is no larger than two when there is only one data stream at each source node. A simplified algorithm was put forward to accomplish the design based on the analysis conclusions. Simulation results provide that the system performance, which is characterized in terms of bit error rates (BER), is significantly improved by cooperative beamforming, and the performance of the simplified method is not only very close to the optimal one but also with faster iteration speed and much lower computational complexity.

Performance analysis of network code division multiplexing over wireless sensor networks

In a wireless sensor network (WSN), multiple groups of source nodes communicate with their respective destination nodes with the help of a common relay network. To remove the inter-session interference among multiple transmission sessions at each destination in a wireless sensor network, a network code division multiplexing (NCDM) scheme is proposed for the parallel session model. The fundamental of the NCDM scheme takes advantage of the property of the low-density generator matrix (LDGM) code to calculate the equivalent received signal. Then the NCDM scheme is analyzed. Based on the analysis of the soft processing, a new code design criterion for the construction of the generator matrix is developed. Simulation results show that by following the proposed code design criterion, the bit error ratio (BER) performance gap between the scheme we studied and the serial session scheme can be managed effectively.
