A Novel Approach to DOA Estimation
Zhou Yi, Feng Da-zheng, Liu Jian-qiang
2005, 27(10): 1513-1516.
Abstract:
The key issue of the subspace-based Direction Of Arrival (DOA) estimation lies in the estimation of signal subspace with high quality. In the case of uncorrelated signals while the signals are temporally correlated ones, a novel approach for estimation of DOA in unknown correlated noise fields is proposed. Based on the biorthogonality between a matrix and its Moore-Penrose pseudo-inverse, the proposed method makes no assumptions on the spatial covariance matrix of the noise. The approach exploits the structural information of a set of spatio-temporal correlation matrices, and gives a robust and precise estimation of signal subspace to obtain a precise estimation of DOA. The performances are confirmed by computer simulation results.
A Novel Algorithm for Weak Signals DOA Estimation under Intensive Interferences
Chai Li-gong, Luo Jing-qing
2005, 27(10): 1517-1520.
Abstract:
A novel algorithm both for restraining intensive interferences and for estimating weak signals' DOA(Direction Of Arrival) information is presented on the basis of uniform linear array. Under the assumption knowing the number and directions of intensive interferences, first, the algorithm forms the beam on the sub-array level with the improved beam-forming method to constrain interferences; then, the algorithm estimates weak signals' DOA information based on all of these weighed sub-arrays. When both the desired signal and the interference are in the same beam, the merit of this algorithm shows higher estimation accuracy than that of high-resolution methods without improving the SNR for weak signal. Both the theoretical analysis and computer simulation indicate that the algorithm is effective.

Huang Lei, Wu Shun-jun, Zhang Lin-rang
2005, 27(10): 1531-1534.
Abstract:
An Algorithm Of Constant Modulus Signal Separation based on Minimal Rayleigh Entropy (MRE-AOCMSS) is presented. Utilizing an error cost function,a novel covariance matrix is constructed. Then an optimal weight vector used to extract the desired constant modulus signal is obtained via minimizing the Rayleigh entropy. Employing the algorithm, interferences can be cancelled effectively. The algorithm is still valid when co-channel interference signal's power is much greater than the desired signal's power. The simulation results indicate that this MRE-AOCMSS algorithm is effective in terms of constant modulus signal separation and interference suppression.

2005, 27(10): 1542-1548.
Abstract:
On the basis of the limitation of Farids universal blind steganalysis for color images, a new universal blind steganalysis scheme is proposed. In view of the luminance and the chrominance of the image, the class feature vector is extracted. A new approach is presented to extract the feature for the chrominance component that the image is directional processed using the vector directional filter, and then the vector direction correlation between the image and its directional filtered image is calculated. It reduces the number of the features enormously, and overcomes the fault of Farids scheme that neglects the inherent correlation between the RGB channels, which is propitious to simplify the design of classifier and to improve the performance of the classifier. Applying the scheme and Farids scheme to detecting the stego images produced by JSteg, F5, and EZStego respectively, the comparison of these simulation results shows that the scheme is quite more efficient for different size of messages embedded.

2005, 27(10): 1549-1554.
Abstract:
A fast interactive segmentation algorithm of image-sequences based on relative fuzzy connectedness is presented. In comparison with the existing algorithm, the proposed one, with the same accuracy, accelerates the segmentation speed by three times for single image. Meanwhile, this fast segmentation algorithm is extended from single object to multiple objects and from single-image to image-sequences. Thus the segmentation of multiple objects from complex background and batch segmentation of image-sequences can be achieved. In addition, a post-processing scheme is incorporated in this algorithm, which extracts smooth edge with one-pixel-width for each segmented object. The experimental results illustrate that the proposed algorithm can obtain the object regions of interest from medical image or image-sequences as well as man-made images quickly and reliably with only a little interaction.

Band Selection Using Divergence of Class-within PCA in Hyperspectral Images Classification
Huang Rui, He Ming-yi
2005, 27(10): 1588-1592.
Abstract:
Band selection from multispectral or hyperspectral image data is an effective method to remove redundancy among bands and thus reduce dimension. An efficient algorithm using divergence based class-within principal component analysis (PCA) and analysis of corresponding coefficients is proposed. At first, the covariance of each class is diagonalized through PCA transforms on class data respectively, and then the divergence only depends on the summation of individual feature separability of transformed bands. Secondly, after an analysis of corresponding PCA transform coefficients, the candidate bands, original bands essential to classification, are determined by majority vote. At last, the final band subset is obtained by analyzing the dependency and divergence of bands in every subset generated according to the correlations of original band in candidates. Compared with sequential forward selection, the proposed method reduces the computation complexity, and encouraging results have been shown by experiments with an Airborne Visible/InfraRed Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) data set.

Study on the DS-SS Signals Despreading without the PN Sequence under Narrow Band Interference
Zhang Tian-qi, Lin Xiao-kang
2005, 27(10): 1600-1604.
Abstract:
In this paper, an approach of eigen-analysis for DS-SS signals under narrow band (multiple tone) interference is proposed, which can estimate the PN (Pseudo Noise) sequence blindly in the low SNR(Signal Noise Ratio) and SIR(Signal Interference Ratio) DS-SS signals. Of course, the parameters of the DS-SS signals (such as period and chip interval of the PN sequence) need to be known. Firstly, the received signal is divided into a lot of non-overlapping temporal vectors according to the period of PN sequence, and then the correlation matrix of the vectors is calculated and accumulated. The eigenvalue decomposition of the matrixes can be computed and the narrow band interference waveforms and the PN sequences of the received signals from the main component eigenvectors can be blindly estimated in the end. Based on the estimated narrow band interference waveforms and PN sequences, the narrow band interference can be rejected, and the DS-SS signals despreading without the PN code can be realized too. Theoretic analysis and experimental results show that the approach is very effective. It can work well on the lower SNR and SIR ambient.
Effect of Relative Delay on Performance of Multiuser Detection in Asynchronous DS-CDMA Systems: Analysis and Evaluation
Wang Ling, Jiao Li-cheng, Tao Hai-hong, Liu Fang
2005, 27(10): 1605-1612.
Abstract:
Multiuser detection is a key technique in DS CDMA systems. The received signal of uplink receiver is superposition of the spreading signal transmitted by users over asynchronous channels. Many multiuser detectors deal with discrete signal sampled at symbol or chip rate after passing through matched filterers. However, different relative delay between users results in distinct partial correlation coefficients thus bringing about distinct performance of multiuser detectors. It is very important to effectively evaluate the average and extreme performance of system. In this paper, the expression of average partial correlation coefficients is analyzed and the corresponding numerical computation method is proposed. On the other hand, relative delay corresponding to the maximal and minimal correlation coefficients is also solved by the evolution algorithm. Based on the obtained results, the performance of the decorrelating and Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) multiuser detectors in asynchronous DS-CDMA systems are evaluated by numerical simulation.

2005, 27(10): 1616-1619.
Abstract:
V-BLAST receiver is effective technique in achieving high data rate in wireless communications. However, the complexity of V-BLAST is very high because much time must be consumed in performing linear nulling, successive interference canceling and sorting, and the application of V-BLAST is limited. The complexity of the ZF receiver and MMSE receiver is low, but performance is worse than V-BLAST. In this paper, a new layered space-time receiver is proposed using two stage successive interference canceling, and the complexity of new scheme is very low compared with the V-BLAST. The simulation results indicate that the performance of the proposed receiver based on MMSE is outperforms ZF V-BLAST receiver.

Lü Shu-juan, Wei Guo, Zhu Jin-kang, Du Zheng
2005, 27(10): 1620-1624.
Abstract:
A new differential unitary space-time modulation scheme based on cyclic unitary group code is proposed for systems with multiple transmit antennas in fast fading channels. By exchanging the sequence of transmitted symbols, this new differential unitary space-time modulation scheme reduces the influence from time-variance of fast fading channels at the cost of larger processing delay and additional transmission power. For larger processing delay, the additional transmission power is negligible. Theoretical analysis and Monte Carlo simulations using matlab are carried out to investigate the performance of the conventional and the proposed differential unitary space-time modulation schemes. It is demonstrated that this new differential unitary space-time modulation scheme can achieve significant gains compared with the conventional differential unitary space-time modulation in fast fading channels with very little cost.

Abstract:
There exist Inter-Carrier Interference (ICI) phenomena when OFDM signals are transmitted through time-varying fading channels. The performance of communication systems also decreases. Based on decomposing of time-varying fading channels, the system can be treated as data transmitting through a discrete-time white noise filter model channel. The Viterbi algorithm is used to receive the signal. In this way, the ICI and error floor in traditional OFDM system are removed, and the performance is enhanced.

Finally, a united form is used to describe two algorithms and some research is done for the dependency on extrinsic information in iterative decoding numerically, from the result it is found that SNR and iterative number do not affect the best scale of extrinsic information used in component decoder.

Abstract:
Alternating Direction Implicit-Finite Difference Time Domain(ADI-FDTD) is unconditionally stable and the maximum time step size is not limited by the Courant stability condition, but rather by numerical error. Compared with the conventional FDTD method, the time step size of ADI-FDTD can be enlarged arbitrarily. In this paper 2D PML implementation is proposed for ADI-FDTD in dispersive media using recursive convolution method. ADI-FDTD formulations for dispersive media can be derived from the simplified Perfectly Matched Layer (PML). Numerical results of ADI-FDTD with PML for dispersive media are compared with FDTD. Good agreement is observed.

Abstract:
More and more researches show that network traffic is not Markovian process, but shows the burst nature called self-similarity at any time scale .The mathematic models describing network traffic mainly include self-similar process and long range dependence structure. Due to some network parameters obeying heavy tail distribution, network traffic shows the burst nature at large time scale. This paper analyses the drawbacks of the classical network traffic models and performance evaluation, and describes the basic trademarks of evolutionary traffic models. This paper studies three important models of self-similar network traffic: ON/OFF model, user access probability model and fluid flow close loop model, and discusses relative research directions. Some issues and principles that shall be noticed during studying and modeling network traffic are given in the end.
