The Region 1 & 3 Broadcasting‐Satellite Service Plan after WRC‐03

The 1977 Broadcasting‐Satellite Service (BSS) Plan for Region 1 & 3 had been widely acknowledged to be out‐of‐date by the late 1980s. Development of digital modulation in the early 1990s provided an opportunity to update the technical provisions of the Plan to make it more economically viable. After a decade of work and three World Radiocommunication Conferences (WRCs), the revision of Region 1 & 3 BSS Plan was finally completed in 2003. The new Plan increased channel assignments from 5 to 10 analog‐equivalent channels for each country in Region 1, and from 4 to 12 channels for each country in Region 3. Yet, despite the increase in capacity, the new Plan is surprisingly similar to the original one in terms of the technical parameters. It is still based on national coverage, and the channel plan, orbital location, orbital spacing, and polarization are also the same. As a result, the new Plan is no more economically viable to implement than the old. To create economically viable BSS systems would most likely require modifications to the assignment in the Plan. Yet, modification procedures were made more difficult to apply after replanning. Less future implementation of BSS networks than would otherwise have occurred can be expected, and an inefficient usage of these frequency bands will likely result. On the other hand, less implemented systems will mean more capacity set aside for future use. This is important for countries that currently do not have satellite operations. In the end, BSS replanning reflects the eternal conflict between efficient usage and guaranteed future access. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

频域盲源分离的邻频幅角比排序算法

频域盲源分离方法通过STFT变换将时域的线性卷积模型转化为频域的瞬时混合模型,可以利用瞬时混合的成熟算法,然而缺点是存在排列和尺度的不确定性,会使逆STFT变换后的信号发生再次混叠。对分离矩阵内部结构进行研究,提出邻频幅角比的概念,通过纠正图样中发生排列错误频点处的分离矩阵结构,达到正确拟合已分离信号的目的。仿真结果表明,邻频幅角比排序算法可以纠正大多数频点上的排序错误,正确进行盲源分离。

A simplified approach to independent component analysis

Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is one of the fastest growing fields in the area of neural networks and signal processing. Blind Source Separation (BSS) is one of the applications of ICA. In this paper, ICA has been used for separating unknown source signals. BSS is used to extract independent signal components from their observed linear mixtures at an array of sensors. Various statistical techniques based on information theoretic and algebraic approaches exist for performing ICA. In this paper, we have used an objective function based on independence criterion of the signals. Optimisation of this objective function yields a neural algorithm along with a non-linear function for signal separation. Performance of the algorithm for artificially generated signals as well as audio signals has been evaluated.     

Interleaving Planning and Robot Execution for Asynchronous User Requests

ROGUE is an architecture built on a real robot which provides algorithms for the integration of high-level planning, low-level robotic execution, and learning. ROGUE addresses successfully several of the challenges of a dynamic office gopher environment. This article presents the techniques for the integration of planning and execution.ROGUE uses and extends a classical planning algorithm to create plans for multiple interacting goals introduced by asynchronous user requests. ROGUE translates the planner';s actions to robot execution actions and monitors real world execution. ROGUE is currently implemented using the PRODIGY4.0 planner and the Xavier robot. This article describes how plans are created for multiple asynchronous goals, and how task priority and compatibility information are used to achieve appropriate efficient execution. We describe how ROGUE communicates with the planner and the robot to interleave planning with execution so that the planner can replan for failed actions, identify the actual outcome of an action with multiple possible outcomes, and take opportunities from changes in the environment.ROGUE represents a successful integration of a classical artificial intelligence planner with a real mobile robot.     

基于变步长A*与车身稳态转向模型的UGV路径规划

针对A*算法寻路时间长、生成的路径存在冗余折点的问题,本文提出一种基于车身稳态转向模型的变步长A*算法,首先通过设置子目标点的方式调节A*算法的搜索步长,减少寻路时间;其次在全局路径的折点处根据车身转向运动学约束进行局部重规划,从而得到一条易于跟踪的平滑路径;此外考虑到UGV (Unmanned Ground Vehicle,无人地面车辆)的实际宽度,改进后的算法还引入了障碍物延伸策略,使规划出的路径满足实际工程应用;最后通过仿真实验验证了本文改进算法的有效性,并与3种寻路算法进行对比,结果表明,本文改进的算法寻路时间更短、生成的路径更平滑,且与障碍物之间保持了安全距离.
