动态分配模式下的宽带频谱感知

频谱感知是认知无线电的一项关键技术,其能够检测出未被主用户占用的频谱空穴,提高频谱利用率。提出两种宽带感知方法——矩形谱感知法和谱相关感知法,分别适用于已知主用户带宽和主用户功率谱(PSD)的情况。不同于以往将宽带频谱感知转换为窄带频谱感知的方法,利用主用户先验PSD在宽带范围内直接搜索主用户信号。该方法不需要带宽划分,直接在宽带内进行检测,对主用户信号PSD没有特殊要求,主用户信号可以随机出现在所检测的带宽范围内。仿真结果表明,由于谱相关法比矩形谱法利用了更多的先验信息,其检测性能优于矩形谱法,主用户载波估计更为准确。     

基于BP神经网络的协作频谱感知技术

认知无线电技术可以利用主用户未使用的频谱资源来有效地提高频谱利用率。单用户感知技术虽然简单但可靠性较低,协作频谱感知技术可以显著地提高频谱感知的性能。现有的大部分协作感知都是在假设各认知用户的信噪比相同的前提下进行研究。然而在实际环境中,由于每个认知用户所处的环境不同,其信噪比不同,对融合中心判决的影响也不同。如何在提升检测性能的同时提升系统的能量效率是关键问题。提出一种基于BP(Back Propagation)神经网络的协作频谱感知技术,它利用频谱环境的历史信息,通过BP神经网络提高频谱感知性能。仿真结果表明,该算法可以在保证协作感知性能的同时减少参与协作的认知用户数,从而减少能量消耗。     

衰落信道下提高协作频谱感知能力的方法

由于协作频谱感知能够更准确地确定主用户的存在与否,因此,它被认为是认知无线电技术中的一个重要研究分支.在协作频谱感知中,各认知用户需要通过报告信道发送其本地判决结果(0或1)到融合中心(FC).然而,在实际中,报告信道通常受衰落的影响,这将降低频谱感知的检测性能.针对这个问题,首先,文中提出一种基于认知用户选择的协作频谱感知算法.该算法通过减小由衰落信道引入的误码概率来提高协作频谱感知的检测性能.其基本思想为:只有具有较好瞬时信道增益报告信道的认知用户才将其本地二进制判决结果发送到FC,否则,该认知用户不发送其本地检测结果到FC.其次,提出一种基于空时编码的协作频谱感知方法.通过在CR网络中,利用空间分集增益来降低由衰落型报告信道引入的误码概率,从而提高检测性能.最后,对提出的这两种协作频谱感知方法的检测性能进行理论分析研究,并对其进行数值仿真.仿真结果表明:相比于传统的协作频谱感知,本文提出的这两种协作频谱感知算法都能提高对主用户的检测性能.     

动态阈值的双门限协作感知方法

随着通信技术的提高和通信应用的增多,无线频谱资源越来越匮乏.许多分配到资源的主用户利用率很低,认知无线电技术希望没有分配到资源的次用户合理使用主用户频谱来提高频谱的利用率.频谱感知技术关系到认知无线电中次用户对空闲频谱的使用机会,是认知无线电的关键技术之一.就是在已有的感知技术的基础上,提出了新的感知手段.在认知无线电网络中,不同的次用户由于与主用户距离以及自身所处环境的噪声影响不同,它们的信噪比一般是不一样的.这里采用的动态阈值的双门限协作感知方法,是对传统双门限能量感知方法的改进,通过充分考虑次用户之间的差异性来提高感知的性能.首先,根据对检测和虚警概率的要求,过滤掉一部分检测能力不满足条件的次用户.同时,每个次用户的用于能量感知的双门限会根据它们各自信噪比的不同而动态变化.通过与单门限能量感知以及传统双门限能量感知方法进行比较,可以看出本文提出的感知方法一定程度上提高了系统整体感知的性能.

为提高频谱资源的利用率,针对实际无线通信信道,搭建基于Matlab和通用软件无线电外设的无线通信系统平台,应用能量检测法对主用户信号进行频谱感知和可用频谱带宽估计,实现频谱检测并为次用户的频谱接入提供判断依据。实验结果表明,该方法能快速准确地实现无线电系统通信,并且在高信噪比和采样个数较多的情况下,能较好地检测频谱占用情况,满足认知无线电频谱感知的要求。     

基于PCA与主动学习AdaBoost的频谱感知算法

针对认知网络中各低信噪比环境下主用户信号检测率偏低的问题,提出一种基于主成分分析和主动学习AdaBoost的主用户信号频谱感知算法.该算法首先采用主成分分析算法对信号特征参数进行提取,获得信号的主成分,之后利用主动学习算法通过多次迭代抽样,获取有利于提高分类性能的样本,并对AdaBoost分类器进行训练,最后利用训练完成的AdaBoost分类器对待测信号进行分类检测.仿真实验表明,在各低信噪比情况下与ANN和MME算法相比较,所提算法具有较高的分类感知性能,有效地实现了对主用户信号的频谱感知.     

基于能量指纹匹配的无线认知网络仿冒主用户攻击检测

频谱感知是无线认知网络有效工作的基础,现有研究主要集中在提高频谱检测的效率,对于如何保证在不可信的网络环境中实现安全可靠的频谱感知还没有理想的解决方案。针对频谱感知过程中存在的一种典型攻击行为一仿冒主用户攻击,提出了一种基于能量指纹匹配的检测方案。认知用户利用自身的位置分布特征,使用能量检测生成主用户的能量指纹,以此作为节点的身份标识,分析不同用户对频谱资源的使用方式,最终实现对仿冒行为的检测。理论分析以及模拟测试表明,该方案在误检概率较低的前提下,可以有效地检测仿冒攻击行为,提高频谱感知的准确率。     

分布式认知网络中多用户频谱接入算法研究

认知频谱接入技术通过感知侦测并伺机接入空闲频带,大大缓解了频谱资源稀缺和利用率低下的矛盾.在未知信道占用信息情况下,认知用户如何快速找到最优空闲信道,并避免相互之间的冲突,是认知接入算法的难点和关键技术.本文中提出一种低复杂度的分布式认知接入算法,通过学习物理层的感知结果和链路层的发送确认信息,同时获取主用户的信道占用概率和从用户之间的冲突概率,能快速选择感知信道,并有效避免了从用户之间的竞争.仿真结果表明,该算法在未知信道占用概率信息的情况下,网络平均吞吐量明显优于贪婪等算法,很好地解决了认知网络中多个从用户频谱共享问题,同时收敛速度较快.     

MAC与TCP跨层的认知无线网络传输性能增强

认知无线网络中,认知用户需要具备频谱感知的功能,在主用户到来时,可以实现动态频谱切换,从而不影响主用户的通信.但是频谱感知和切换带来的时延可能使认知用户TCP频繁的启动慢启动,而影响传输性能.提出的TCP-CWN(TCP for cognitive wireless network认知无线网络TCP)算法,通过TCP-MAC跨层可以消除由于频谱感知和切换带来的慢启动问题.本方案在NS2上进行仿真,实验结果显示在认知环境下TCP-CWN能很好的缓解由于频谱感知对传输的影响,提高认知用户的传输吞吐量.     

基于认知用户移动性的协作频谱感知研究

协作频谱感知能在一定程度上消除多径和阴影的影响,然而现有协作频谱感知方案均假设各认知用户处于静止状态,未考虑认知用户在协作感知期间的移动对检测性能的影响。针对上述问题,在集中式频谱检测方法的基础上,提出一种认知用户移动状态下的协作检测模型,使主用户处于静止状态,认知用户以一定速度作匀速直线运动。仿真及分析结果表明,随着移动认知用户速度的增大,运用线性融合规则的移动认知用户与静止认知用户协作检测性能均逐渐降低,因此需选择移动速度较小的认知用户作为协作对象以提高频谱感知的整体检测性能。     

Only connect: teaching, technology and telesis

Abstract This paper describes an approach to the design of interactive multimedia materials being developed in a European Community project. The developmental process is seen as a dialogue between technologists and teachers. This dialogue is often problematic because of the differences in training, experience and culture between them. Conditions needed for fruitful dialogue are described and the generic model for learning design used in the project is explained.     

European Community policy and the market

Abstract This paper starts with some reflections on the policy considerations and priorities which are shaping European Commission (EC) research programmes. Then it attempts to position the current projects which seek to capitalise on information and communications technologies for learning in relation to these priorities and the apparent realities of the marketplace. It concludes that while there are grounds to be optimistic about the contribution EC programmes can make to the efficiency and standard of education and training, they are still too technology driven.

Avoiding semantic and temporal gaps in developing software intensive systems

Development of software intensive systems (systems) in practice involves a series of self-contained phases for the lifecycle of a system. Semantic and temporal gaps, which occur among phases and among developer disciplines within and across phases, hinder the ongoing development of a system because of the interdependencies among phases and among disciplines. Such gaps are magnified among systems that are developed at different times by different development teams, which may limit reuse of artifacts of systems development and interoperability among the systems. This article discusses such gaps and a systems development process for avoiding them.     

Designing economic np control charts: A programmed simulation approach

This paper presents control charts models and the necessary simulation software for the location of economic values of the control parameters. The simulation program is written in FORTRAN, requires only 10K of main storage, and can run on most mini and micro computers. Two models are presented - one describes the process when it is operating at full capacity and the other when the process is operating under capacity. The models allow the product quality to deteriorate to a further level before an existing out-of-control state is detected, and they can also be used in situations where no prior knowledge exists of the out-of-control causes and the resulting proportion defectives.     

The development of robot art

Going through a few examples of robot artists who are recognized worldwide, we try to analyze the deepest meaning of what is called “robot art” and the related art field definition. We also try to highlight its well-marked borders, such as kinetic sculptures, kinetic art, cyber art, and cyberpunk. A brief excursion into the importance of the context, the message, and its semiotics is also provided, case by case, together with a few hints on the history of this discipline in the light of an artistic perspective. Therefore, the aim of this article is to try to summarize the main characteristics that might classify robot art as a unique and innovative discipline, and to track down some of the principles by which a robotic artifact can or cannot be considered an art piece in terms of social, cultural, and strictly artistic interest. This work was presented in part at the 13th International Symposium on Artificial Life and Robotics, Oita, Japan, January 31–February 2, 2008     

Explanation and prediction: an architecture for default and abductive reasoning

Although there are many arguments that logic is an appropriate tool for artificial intelligence, there has been a perceived problem with the monotonicity of classical logic. This paper elaborates on the idea that reasoning should be viewed as theory formation where logic tells us the consequences of our assumptions. The two activities of predicting what is expected to be true and explaining observations are considered in a simple theory formation framework. Properties of each activity are discussed, along with a number of proposals as to what should be predicted or accepted as reasonable explanations. An architecture is proposed to combine explanation and prediction into one coherent framework. Algorithms used to implement the system as well as examples from a running implementation are given.     

Three Process Perspectives: Organizations, Teams, and People

This paper provides the author's personal views and perspectives on software process improvement. Starting with his first work on technology assessment in IBM over 20 years ago, Watts Humphrey describes the process improvement work he has been directly involved in. This includes the development of the early process assessment methods, the original design of the CMM, and the introduction of the Personal Software Process (PSP)^SM and Team Software Process (TSP){^SM}. In addition to describing the original motivation for this work, the author also reviews many of the problems he and his associates encountered and why they solved them the way they did. He also comments on the outstanding issues and likely directions for future work. Finally, this work has built on the experiences and contributions of many people. Mr. Humphrey only describes work that he was personally involved in and he names many of the key contributors. However, so many people have been involved in this work that a full list of the important participants would be impractical.

提出了一种基于复小波域统计建模与噪声方差估计显著性修正相结合的合成孔径雷达(Synthetic Aperture Radar,SAR)图像斑点噪声滤波方法。该方法首先通过对数变换将乘性噪声模型转化为加性噪声模型,然后对变换后的图像进行双树复小波变换(Dualtree Complex Wavelet Transform,DCWT),并对复数小波系数的统计分布进行建模。在此先验分布的基础上,通过运用贝叶斯估计方法从含噪系数中恢复原始系数,达到滤除噪声的目的。实验结果表明该方法在去除噪声的同时保留了图像的细节信息,取得了很好的降噪效果。     

How do children do mathematics with LOGO?

Abstract  This paper considers some results of a study designed to investigate the kinds of mathematical activity undertaken by children (aged between 8 and 11) as they learned to program in LOGO. A model of learning modes is proposed, which attempts to describe the ways in which children used and acquired understanding of the programming/mathematical concepts involved. The remainder of the paper is concerned with discussing the validity and limitations of the model, and its implications for further research and curriculum development.
