COBOS: Cooperative backoff adaptive scheme for multirobot task allocation

In this paper, the cooperative backoff adaptive scheme (COBOS) is proposed for task allocation amongst a team of heterogeneous robots. The COBOS operates in regions with limited communication ranges, and is robust against robot malfunctions and uncertain task specifications, with each task potentially requiring multiple robots. The portability of tasks across teams (or when team demography changes) is improved by specifying tasks using basis tasks in a matrix framework. The adaptive feature of COBOS further increases the flexibility of robot teams, allowing robots to adjust their actions based on past experience. In addition, we study the properties of COBOS: operation domain; communication requirements; computational complexity; and solution quality; and compare the scheme with other task-allocation mechanisms. Realistic simulations are carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Tight lower bounds for certain parameterized NP-hard problems

Based on the framework of parameterized complexity theory, we derive tight lower bounds on the computational complexity for a number of well-known NP-hard problems. We start by proving a general result, namely that the parameterized weighted satisfiability problem on depth-t circuits cannot be solved in time n^o(k)m^O(1), where n is the circuit input length, m is the circuit size, and k is the parameter, unless the (t − 1)-st level W[t − 1] of the W-hierarchy collapses to FPT. By refining this technique, we prove that a group of parameterized NP-hard problems, including weighted sat, hitting set, set cover, and feature set, cannot be solved in time n^o(k)m^O(1), where n is the size of the universal set from which the k elements are to be selected and m is the instance size, unless the first level W[1] of the W-hierarchy collapses to FPT. We also prove that another group of parameterized problems which includes weighted q-sat (for any fixed q 2), clique, independent set, and dominating set, cannot be solved in time n^o(k) unless all search problems in the syntactic class SNP, introduced by Papadimitriou and Yannakakis, are solvable in subexponential time. Note that all these parameterized problems have trivial algorithms of running time either n^km^O(1) or O(n^k).

Improved LUT Technique for HPA Nonlinear Pre-Distortion in OFDM Systems

In this paper, we focus on the Look-up Table (LUT) technique for the compensation of HPA nonlinear distortion. An improved LUT method is proposed with better performance compared with conventional LUT technique in terms of convergence speeds, BER and total degradation (TD). It can get over 8 dB gain in out-of-band spectrum re-growth suppression and about 0.3 dB BER performance gain than conventional LUT technique with the same iteration times. Also, we propose an actual application of HPA with pre-distorter in OFDM transmitter. Ai Bo was born in Shannxi Province in China on February 7, 1974. He received a BSc.
