A variable-power (VP) adaptive modulation (AM) scheme with space-time block code (STBC) is developed in MIMO systems, and the corresponding performance is investigated in Nakagami fading channels. The optimum switching thresholds are derived so that the spectrum efficiency (SE) under an average power and a target bit error rate (BER) constraint is maximized. By the switching thresholds, average BER and SE are further derived. As a result, closed-form expressions are obtained. Besides, the exact and approximate BER expressions of VP AM and constant-power (CP) AM systems with delayed feedback are respectively derived. Simulation results show that the theoretical SE and BER can match the corresponding simulation well. The results indicate that VP-AM with STBC provide higher spectrum efficiency than the CP counterparts, and has slighter bite error rate performance degradation when the normalized delay is less than 0.01. 相似文献
Lead-bismuth eutectics (LBE) have considerable potential as a candidate material for accelerator-driven sub-critical systems (ADS). However, LBE corrosion and irradiation damage are two urgent challenges remaining to be solved for impellers of primary pumps. In this study, we have explored the possibility of using Fe-based amorphous coatings to overcome LBE corrosion and concurrently to sustain irradiation damage. Specifically, the Fe54Cr18Mo2Zr8B18 amorphous coating was prepared by high-velocity oxygen-fuel (HVOF) spraying on 316L steel and exposed to saturated oxygen static LBE for 500 h at 400°C. The coating with high thermal stability (Tg=615°C and Tx=660°C) effectively prevented the substrate steel from being corroded by LBE owing to its unique long-range disordered atomic packing. The coating also exhibited strong irradiation resistance when being subjected to 45 dpa (displacement per atom) Au ion irradiation at room temperature, with no sign of crystallization even at the maximum implantation depth of 300 nm. Consequently, the hardness of the coatings before and after irradiation increased slightly. The current findings shed new insights into understanding corrosion mechanism and irradiation behavior of amorphous solids in LBE and expand the application range of amorphous materials.
By introducing a space-time coding scheme based on amicable orthogonality, we develop a distributed differential space-time
coding scheme with the amplify-and-forward (AF) method for wireless cooperative networks. The scheme requires no knowledge
of the channel state information at both transmitters and receivers, and effectively decreases the realization complexity
due to no channel estimation. Moreover, it has lower decoding complexity and higher coding advantage than the existing scheme,
thus avoiding the shortcoming of exponential decoding complexity of some existing schemes. According tothe pairwise error
probability (PEP) analysis of the system, the power allocations of source and relay terminals are jointly optimized, and as
a result, the PEP is minimized, which will provide a helpful guideline for system design. Numerical calculation and simulation
results show that the developed scheme is superior to the existing scheme. Moreover, the scheme with optimal power allocation
yields obvious performance improvement over that with equal power allocation.

LiFePO4/C composite with network connections of nano-carbon wires was successfully prepared by using polyvinyl alcohol as carbon source. The composite was characterized by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopic, and its electrochemical performance was investigated by galvanostatic charge and discharge tests. The experimental results show that LiFePO4 grains are tightly connected by the network of nano-carbon wires. Moreover LiFePO4/C composite exhibits high capacity of 168 mAh g−1 applied 15 mA g−1 current density (C/10), excellent cyclic ability and rate capability. When 1500 mA g−1 current density (10C) was applied, the high discharge capacity of 129 mAh g−1 has been obtained at room temperature. 相似文献
In this paper, by introducing orthogonal space-time coding scheme, the multiuser CDMA systems with different space time codes
are given, and corresponding system performance is investigated over Rayleigh fading channel. A low-complexity multiuser receiver
scheme is developed for space-time coded CDMA systems. The scheme can make full use of the complex orthogonality of space-time
coding to simplify the high decoding complexity of the existing scheme. Compared to the existing scheme with exponential decoding
complexity, it has linear decoding complexity. Based on the performance analysis and mathematical calculation, average bit
error rate (BER) of the system is derived in detail, and tight closed-form approximation expressions of BER are attained.
Simulation results on average BER are in agreement with the theory analysis. The results show that the proposed scheme can
achieve almost the same performance as the existing scheme. Moreover, on the condition of same system throughput and concatenation
of channel code, the given full-rate space-time coded CDMA system has lower BER than the full-diversity space-time coded CDMA
systems. 相似文献
