A Novel Unitary Space-Time Modulation
Zou Li, Zhao Yu-ping, Wang Bing, Xiang Hai-ge, Liang Qing-lin
2004, 26(7): 1009-1016.
Abstract:
In order to improve the spectral efficiency, this paper proposes a new framework for designing a modulation consisting of more than one modulation method. The new modulation method is able to provide better spectral efficiency while preserving the merits of Unitary Space-Time Modulation (USTM), such as low error rate and demodulation simplicity. The necessary condition for this set of modulations is presented and several different options satisfying the condition are given. Finally a novel modulation called Differential Phase Unitary Space-Time Modulation (DPUSTM) is designed as a special case. DPUSTM, which consists of USTM and Differential Phase-Shift Keying (DPSK) modulation, is not only easier to improve the spectral efficiency than USTM, but also simpler to demodulate. The novel modulation can achieve low bit error rate as UST signals and be exploited in multi-rate data communication. The simulation results not only verify the theoretical analysis, but also show that DPUSTM provides a better performance than USTM and DSTM.
Novel Method Based on Signal-to-Noise Skew Ratio for Enhancing Quadratic Phase Dynamic Coupling Signals
Guo Ye-cai, Zhao Jun-wei
2004, 26(7): 1017-1023.
Abstract:
Signal-to-Noise SKew Ratio (SNSKR) is defined and its mathematical formula is obtained. A novel analysis based on the SNSKR is presented. When ambient noise is asymmetrical distributed noise, the SNSKR is equal to or greater than the original Signal-to-Noise Ratio(SNR); whereas the SNSKR is theoretically infinite value if ambient noise is symmetrical distributed noise. Theoretic analysis and simulation results have shown that the analysis is valid and that it is unnecessary to assume that the ambient noise is Gaussian distribution or asymmetrical distribution when employing third-order cumulant slices extracts the underwater target-radiated quadratic phase dynamic coupling signals. These conclusions are significance in engineering.

2004, 26(7): 1038-1044.
Abstract:
In TDD-CDMA system, the different asymmetrical requirements between uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) in different Base Station (BS) and different time will generate serious inter-cell interference. From the interference point of view, Dynamic Channel Allocation (DCA) is treated mandatorily on TDD-CDMA systems. In this paper, a novel and advanced DCA algorithm is presented, which is based on radio resource reserving related to pathloss assistance and BS-BS interference resolving mechanisms. Simulation results show the novel DCA can work better than the traditional DCA schemes for asymmetrical traffic.

Ding Xu-xing, Zhu Ri-hong, Li Jian-xin
2004, 26(7): 1064-1069.
Abstract:
The main advantages of Integer Wavelet Transform(IWT) are that the input and output values are all integers, all operations can be done in place, only a small memory is required and easy to be implemented in hardware. In the context of image coding, IWT is well suited for lossless compression. However, it performs a little worse compared to the conventional Discrete Wavelet Transform(DWT) for lossy compression. In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed for improving lossy compression performance of IWT, It is by means of the IWT based on lifting scheme combining with improved Embedded Zerotree Wavelet(EZW) based on morphological dilation operation. Simulation results show the proposed algorithm improves the Peak Signal Noise Ratio(PSNR) compared to conventional DWT without increasing computational complexity.

Abstract:
A multi-level elimination algorithm for fast motion estimation is proposed in this paper. The most matched block of the current block is detected in the next frame with a multi-level elimination strategy in this algorithm.

Then in further levels, more detailed characters are used for block-matching to eliminate more candidate blocks until the most matched block is selected in the last level. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can work steadily and get very close performance to the full-search algorithm while a computation reduction of about 12~14 times, with respect to the full-search algorithm.

Optimization Arithmetic for the Power Allocation Scheme on Partial Transmit Sequences
Lei Xia, Tang You-xi, Li Shaoqian, Xiao Yue
2004, 26(7): 1094-1100.
Abstract:
When the total transmitting power is limited, the authors investigate the effect of different power allocation schemes on the side-information and the arithmetic to obtain the optimal power allocation coefficient for the system with Partial Transmit Sequences (PTS). Besides, the authors propose a new simple arithmetic to obtain the sub-optimal coefficient. The simulation results indicate that reducing a little power on every data carrier will obtain large gain on side-information carriers. With increasing the signal to noise ratio, the system is apt to averagely allocate the total power on every carrier. The bit error rate with the optimal or sub-optimal coefficient is close to the ideal value.
A Dynamic-Weight RED Gateway
Jiang Hao, Yan Pu-liu, Xia De-lin, Chen Xiao
2004, 26(7): 1101-1106.
Abstract:
The congestion control mechanisms used in Internet have been the focus of numerous studies and have undergone a number of enhancements. However, even with these enhancements, TCP connections still experience alarmingly high loss rates, especially during times of congestion. The IETF has addressed this problem by advocating the deployment of active queue management mechanisms, such as RED, in the network, But RED have some problems, for example the average queue length changing slowly when congestion starting and ending. To alleviate this problem, a Dynamic-Weight RED(DWRED) is proposed which can quickly be conscious of the congestion and dynamic adjust the weight. DWRED use the average queue length to estimate the change of the queue and adjust the weight to alleviate the congestion and drop when the congestion is over. The time of congestion is shorter than the RED. The result is proved by the simulation.

Further analysis shows there is an optimum RTS threshold that can minimize the average energy consumption. The method of calculating optimum RTS threshold is also presented. All theoretical analysis is validated through computer simulation.

Xiang Bing, Wang Sheng, Li Le-min
2004, 26(7): 1114-1119.
Abstract:
In WDM networks, the bandwidth request of a traffic stream can be much lower than the capacity of a wavelength. Traffic grooming can aggregate low-rate connections onto high-capacity lightpaths to make full use of the bandwidth. But most of the researches related to traffic grooming has focused on ring networks, and fewer concerns are about the dependable traffic grooming of low-rate connections in WDM mesh networks. In this paper, a Shared Protection Traffic Grooming algorithm is proposed based on wavelength Layered-Graph (SPTG-LG) considering both the survivability and traffic grooming in WDM mesh networks. Some simulations and analysis are also given out.

Liu Ben-yong
2004, 26(7): 1137-1143.
Abstract:
Eigen-subspace and canonical-subspace methods are studied and applied to feature-extraction for target recognition using range profiles of a High-range-Resolution-Radar (HRR) system. Based on this study, a subspace cluster method is proposed to tackle the problem of aspect-sensitivity of range profiles. In subspace cluster method, the aspect scope of a radar target is divided into a proper number of zones, and eigen-subspaces are established for each zone. After the zone number of an unknown target is determined by radar, the range profile of this target is mapped into eigen-subspaces of the corresponding zone, and the class whose subspace has the maximum mapping energy is judged as the right class to which the unknown target belongs. This method is named as single-mode classification rule in the subspace cluster method. Experimental results on simulated data and field data show the efficiency of the subspace methods and subspace cluster method in target recognition.

By using the proposed algorithm, the amount of data needed to be processed is kept in necessarily minimal, saving the computation time as well as gaining the pixel-wise edges of the segmented objects.
