基于AWGN信道的Turbo码与SCCC的性能仿真与分析

本文详细介绍了Turbo码与SCCC的基本编译码原理,并通过仿真,研究了基于AWGN信道,分量码约束度m=4的条件下,Turbo码与SCCC各自的性能,并对两者进行了比较。仿真结果表明:当m=4时,Turbo码系统的BER特性总体要优于SCCC,但在高信噪比时,SCCC的性能比较好,而且避免了地板效应这一Turbo码的典型缺陷。     

串行Turbo编码连续相位调制

为了降低连续相位调制（CPM）系统的解调门限,减少复杂编码给系统带来的运算开销,保证系统结构简单高效,提出一种适用于CPM调制方式的串行Turbo码方案。该方案利用CPM调制本身的累加结构作为串行Turbo码的内码,利用卷积码作为外码。仿真表明,该方案的误码率优于并行Turbo编码CPM约3dB。     

基于SCCC结构非相干MAP译码的简化算法

差分编码和序列译码相结合是实现高性能非相干解调的主要方式。对采用差分编码的SCCC结构进行非相干译码,其性能近乎于相干解调,但在估计信道转移概率时引入了修正的零阶贝塞尔函数,因此译码复杂度过高,不利于工程实现。针对该问题,该文提出了两种基于SCCC结构的非相干MAP译码的简化算法。该算法利用对贝塞尔函数的近似式,简化了内码译码log-MAP算法中分支度量的计算。理论分析和仿真结果表明,简化后的算法在保证译码性能的前提下,显著地减小了译码复杂度。     

Link adaptation for Ka band low Earth orbit Earth Observation systems: A realistic performance assessment

In this paper, a proposal is sketched for realizing high data rate downlinks in next‐generation Ka band low Earth orbit (LEO) Earth Observation (EO) systems. The work aims at realistically assessing the throughput advantage stemming from link adaptation strategies—embraced by most wireless and satellite communication standards—compared with non‐adaptive transmission, which is the approach followed in conventional X band EO systems. The transmission strategies examined include constant, (static and dynamic) variable, and adaptive flavors of coding and modulation, each representing a different performance/system complexity trade‐off. Practicality is pursued to the extent possible by incorporating state‐of‐the‐art orbital, ground station, spacecraft, propagation, physical layer, and system implementation characteristics. The results manifest that under particular conditions, link adaptation offers throughput improvements of up to 100% against non‐adaptive transmission schemes in Ka band LEO EO systems.

miR-196b-5p and miR-107 Expression Differentiates Ocular Sebaceous Carcinoma from Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Conjunctiva

An Ocular Sebaceous Carcinoma (OSC) is a rare malignant tumor for which initial clinical and pathological diagnosis is often incorrect. OSCs can mimic Squamous Cell Carcinomas of the Conjunctiva (SCCC). The aim of this study was to find microRNA biomarkers to distinguish OSCs and SCCCs from normal tissue and from each other. Clinical OSC and SCCC case files and the corresponding histopathological slides were collected and reviewed. Micro dissected formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor and control tissues were subjected to semi-high throughput microRNA profiling. MicroRNA expression distinguishes OSCs and SCCCs from corresponding control tissues. Selected differentially expressed miRNAs were validated using single RT-PCR assays. No prognostic miRNAs could be identified that reliably predict SCCC metastasis or OSC recurrence. A comparison between OSCs (n = 14) and SCCCs (n = 18) revealed 38 differentially expressed microRNAs (p < 0.05). Differentially expressed miRNAs were selected for validation in the discovery cohort and an independent validation cohort (OSCs, n = 11; SCCCs, n = 12). At least two miRNAs, miR-196b-5p (p ≤ 0.05) and miR-107 (p ≤ 0.001), displayed a statistically significant differential expression between OSCs and SCCCs with miR-196b-5p upregulated in SCCCs and miR-107 upregulated in OSCs. In the validation cohort, microRNA miR-493-3p also showed significant upregulation in SCCCs when compared to OSCs (p ≤ 0.05). ROC analyses indicated that the combined miR-196b-5p and miR-107 expression levels predicted OSCs with 90.0% sensitivity and 83.3% specificity. In conclusion, the combined testing of miR-196b-5p and miR-107, can be of additional use in routine diagnostics to discriminate OSCs from SCCCs.

文中对串行级联卷积编码（Serial Concatenated Convolutional Code,SCCC）的原理和结构进行了详细的分析,并对其在低信噪比条件下通过AWGN信道时的纠错能力进行了仿真研究。仿真结果表明,在相同信噪比的情况下,交织器的交织长度和接收端译码算法的迭代次数都对系统误码率有很大影响,并给出了合适的交织长度和迭代次数,从而以较小的代价获得更好的译码性能。     

无线传感器网络中的帧同步方法

针对一般无线传感器网络(WSNs)中帧同步开销过大,传输效率不高的问题,提出了一种基于概率译码方法的通信帧同步方法.通过对发射前通信数据的间隔替换引入帧同步码,对通信数据替换所可能引入的已知位置误码问题,接收端在完成帧同步获取编码数据后,以帧同步码元的替换位置为基础进行译码初始化,然后进行概率译码.实验仿真表明:该方法在纠错性能恶化很小的基础上大大提高了传输效率.     

爆炸荷载下圆截面钢－混凝土－ CFRP －混凝土组合柱动力响应数值模拟

为研究爆炸荷载作用下 CFRP 管厚度对 SCCC 组合柱动力响应的影响,采用非线性有限元软件ANSYS／LS － DYNA 建立不同厚度 CFRP 管的 SCCC 组合柱、空气和炸药有限元模型,爆炸荷载对 SCCC 组合柱的作用采用多物质流固耦合法实现。数值模拟发现,与无 CFRP 管的柱对比,SCCC 组合柱的测点位移明显减小,钢管及核心混凝土失效的单元明显减少,且随着 CFRP 管厚度的增加,SCCC 组合柱测点移时程曲线分布逐渐变密。结果表明,CFRP 管可以有效的减小 SCCC 组合柱在爆炸荷载作用下的动力响应;随着 CFRP 管厚度的增加,新增加的 CFRP 对 SCCC 组合柱抗爆性能提高的作用逐渐减弱。
