A novel initial ranging algorithm for OFDMA systems using smart antenna

To improve the capacity of initial ranging （IR） users simultaneously accessing into network and enhance the performance of the IR, a novel IR algorithm is presented for the orthogonal frequency division multiple access systems with the smart antenna. The beamforming weight vectors provided by the antenna array are introduced for the IR users, and the procedures of the multiuser parameter estimation and the interference cancellation are designed. The proposed method can improve the accuracy of the channel estimation of active paths and efficiently reduce the residual multiple access interference. Simulation results show that the proposed method has a much better performance than the available successive multiuser detection and interference cancellation algorithm and accommodates more active ranging users simultaneously accessing into a cell.     

A free space frequency‐time‐domain technique for electromagnetic characterization of materials using reflection‐based measurement

In this report, a free space frequency‐time‐domain technique is presented for characterizing the electrical properties and thickness of the sample using multiple reflections and fabry‐perot resonance phenomenon. The retrieval of constitutive electromagnetic parameters of the sample has been carried out by comparing the measured reflection coefficient data from the sample at two different incident angles. The relative permittivity as well as relative permeability along with the thickness of different samples viz., beryllia, silicon, and plexiglass have been evaluated with high accuracy in the frequency range 1 to 15 GHz. The method is also experimentally validated by successfully reconstructing the unknown material properties of two different samples. The unique advantage of this method lies in non‐requirement of any prior knowledge of the sample's thickness for measuring the complex relative dielectric constant as well as relative permeability of the sample. To determine the electromagnetic properties of the sample, the sole knowledge of reflection coefficient data are needed. Moreover, the method does not involve any additional measurement for the reference calibration. The simple, cost‐effective proposed scheme is quite useful in many applications like accurate determination of signal strength in indoor wireless communication, through wall imaging, food industry, and so on.     

Delay‐dependent stability of nonlinear hybrid neutral stochastic differential equations with multiple delays

In this article, we study the delay‐dependent stability of a class of hybrid neutral stochastic differential equations (NSDEs) with multiple delays which is highly nonlinear. Some novel stability criteria are investigated according to Lyapunov functions and generalized Itô's formula. In particular, we generalize and improve the results in Shen et al, Systems & Control Letters (2018) from a single delay to multiple delays.     

一种考虑电压岛边界约束的多电压布图算法

多电压设计(multiple supply voltage,MSV)是降低SoC功耗的有效方法之一.为便于电压岛供电引脚的放置,提出了一种考虑电压岛边界约束的多电压布图算法.首先,基于切分树表示的布图解特点,提出一种边界检查算法快速确定所有模块的边界信息.其次,以优化功耗为目标采用改进动态规划方法进行多电压分配并构建电压岛.最后,以模拟退火算法作为搜索引擎对芯片的面积、线长和功耗进行协同优化.为减少SA迭代次数,采用了一个两阶段的降温策略.对GSRC电路的实验结果表明,该算法可获得满足边界约束的多电压布图,且和不考虑边界约束时相比,仅在功耗上平均增加5.2％.     

Geohash编码抗k近邻攻击的脆弱性分析

Geohash编码作为一种降维技术目前已应用于空间数据库和空间数据引擎中,但其安全性还有待进一步研究。文章关注Geohash编码存在的安全漏洞,从理论上分析了此种降维技术产生推理通道的原因,并提出一种基于k近邻查询的加密Geohash字段重构算法,通过观察大量k近邻查询响应中的明文信息进行统计推断并重构出加密Geohash的原始值。对加密兴趣点数据库进行重构实验,实验表明,观察到的查询响应数量越多,重构值的精确度越高。在Geohash编码精度为30 bit的情况下,当观察到100000到3000000次查询响应时,重构值与原始值平均误差为0.074%到0.015%。该实验揭示了Geohash编码在抵抗k近邻查询推理攻击方面的脆弱性及形成机理,将促进相关地理信息系统行业的安全应用与研究。     

融入类贡献抑制因子的灰度级模糊C均值图像分割

基于灰度级模糊C均值图像分割算法具有分割速度快的优势。由于无损检测图像中背景类和目标类差异较大,该算法不能有效地将目标分割出来,故提出改进的基于灰度级的模糊C均值算法。构建了一种与类大小反向相关的类贡献抑制因子表达式,将之融入目标函数后能够降低较大类对目标函数的贡献,这可避免较小类的聚类中心受较大类的影响而靠近较大类的聚类中心。最小化新的目标函数可得新形式的隶属度和聚类中心表征形式。采用类大小差异较大的无损检测图像进行试验,结果显示本文算法得到的分割图像视觉效果良好,而且指标G_mean也更高,进一步提升了基于灰度级模糊C均值算法适应能力。

基于MRIO与SNA的中国水资源空间转移网络分析

基于2002年、2007年和2012年的多区域投入产出表的相关数据,利用多区域投入产出(MRIO)模型和社会网络分析法(SNA)分析了中国水资源流动网络的空间关联性和结构特征。结果表明:网络中的链接数量没有随水足迹贸易值的增加而增加,链接路径上的流量不断增加,网络的韧性不够,空间关联渠道有待拓展,存在一定的等级差异,稳定性需要加强;网络中一些省份链接的增加,会削弱其他省份的链接数目,这种可塑性特征有利于在全国范围内合理配置水资源;将网络划分为4个板块,板块间的溢出关系主要是以板块内部为主,且少数板块之间没有任何的溢出关系。     

基于多重约束的OpenXML复合文档内容源数据区容错定界算法

在高误码率条件下,接收到的OpenXML复合文档往往因数据含错而无法打开,而在文档修复过程中,对信源中每个源文件内容源数据区的定界经常容易出错,针对该问题,提出了一种基于多重约束的OpenXML复合文档内容源数据区容错定界算法。通过对文档协议冗余的分析与归类,将内容源数据区定界问题转化为对起始位置序列的最佳估计问题。在通过适当放宽匹配条件完成粗定界的基础上,利用冗余信息中的约束关系构建代价函数对观测数据进行筛选,有效地剔除“虚警”情况,进而实现对内容源数据区起始位置序列的最佳估计。仿真结果表明,在参数设置合理的情况下,该方法具有较好的容错定界能力。     

Risk reduction in Sechahun iron ore deposit by geological boundary modification using multiple indicator Kriging

Uncertainty on the geological contacts and the block volumes of the models along boundaries is often a major part of the global uncertainty of reserve estimation.This work introduces a geostatistical technique that has been developed and tested in an iron ore deposit at Bafq mining district,in central Iran,and that,based on a probability criterion,helps to objectively model the geometry of this iron ore deposit.The main problem in reserve estimation of this ore body is its geometrical modeling and uncertainty in geological boundaries.This work deals with the geostatistical method of multiple indicator kriging,which is used to determine the real boundaries of ore body in different categories.This approach has potential to improve project performance and decrease operational risk.For this purpose,the ore body is separated into two categories including rich iron zone （w（Fe）〉45%） and poor iron zone （20%〈w（Fe）〈45%）.It significantly benefits to decrease the risk of reserve evaluation in the deposit.This case study also highlights the value of multiple indicator kriging as a tool for estimates the position of grade boundaries within the deposit.Comparison of the resultant probability maps with the real ore/waste contacts on the extracted levels shows that the first indicator model could separate the whole ore body （poor plus rich） from the waste zone by probability of more than 0.35,which concludes the total reserve of 53 million tons.The second indicator model applied to separate the rich and poor domains and the results show that the blocks with the estimated probability of equal to or more than 0.4 lay within the rich ore zone consisting of 15.8 million tons reserve.
