2008, 30(7): 1535-1539. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2007.01226
Abstract:
A cross-layer packet scheduling algorithm is proposed for multi-user MIMO-OFDMA systems with the mixed services, such as Real-Time (RT) and Non-Real-Time (NRT) services. The proposed scheduling algorithm is based on the channel state information of physical layer and user queuing delay of Medium Access Control (MAC) sub-layer, and constructs the corresponding utility functions for different types of services. Simulation results show that this algorithm can not only guarantee the delay requirements of RT service but also obtain good system throughput and satisfy the fairness criterion.

Abstract:
This paper investigates adaptive resource allocation scheme to maximize the sum-rate under the QoS constraint for multiuser MIMO/OFDM downlink. Specifically, the basestation exploits spatial division multiple access (SDMA) to support several users in each subcarrier, and linear precoding to reduce inferences among users. An adaptive power and bit allocation scheme with guaranteed QoS is provided. And two low-complexity suboptimal bit fill and bit removal algorithms which could be used in practical systems are proposed. Simulation results show that these two algorithms achieve nearly the same performance as the optimal one.

Yuan Qin, Fang Xu-ming
2008, 30(7): 1544-1547. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.01985
Abstract:
Call admission control (CAC) is one of the most important parts of resource management in mobile communication systems. It keeps the system work stable by accepting or rejecting users service requests. CAC solves the conflict between the service satisfaction of user and system resource utilization. This paper focuses on the dynamic CAC strategy providing guaranteed fairness in the CDMA systems with non-uniform traffic distribution among cells. A novel CAC strategy, which can support multi-traffic with different QoS requirements and VBR traffic, is proposed based on former research achievements. By adopting greedy algorithm, whether accepting or rejecting a new call request depends on the target Signal-to-Interference of the whole system. Therefore the equilibrium of blocking probability among cells with different arriving rates and the access fairness is guaranteed. It is very significant for practical system applications.

2008, 30(7): 1552-1556. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.01923
Abstract:
The frequency offsets and channel gains estimation problem for MIMO system in the case of flat-fading channels is addressed. Based on the MUSIC (Multiple Signal Classification) and the ML (Maximum Likelihood) methods, a new joint estimation algorithm of frequency offsets and channel gains is proposed. The new algorithm has three steps. A subset of frequency offsets is first estimated with the MUSIC algorithm. Then all frequency offsets in the subset are identified with the ML method. Finally channel gains are estimated with the ML estimator. The algorithm is a one-dimensional search scheme and therefore greatly decreases the complexity of the joint ML estimation, which is essentially a multi-dimensional search scheme.

Abstract:
Based on the immune clonal selection theory and the novel genetic quantum algorithm, an Immune Clonal Quantum Algorithm (ICQA) is proposed to solve high complexity of optimum multiuser detection in code division multiple access systems. Using this algorithm, the vaccine based on Hopfield neural network is inoculated into the Clonal Quantum Algorithm (CQA ) to improve further the fitness of the population at each generation. Such a hybridization of the CQA with the stochastic Hopfield neural network reduces its computational complexity by providing faster convergence. In addition, a better initial data estimation supplied by the CQA improves the performance of the vaccine, and the inoculated vaccine improves the performance of the CQA. The uniform theoretic framework of the making vaccine based on the stochastic Hopfield neural network is presented. Simulation results show that the proposed detector not only can achieves the global optimization value in fast convergence rate, but also is obviously superior to the conventional detector and the multiuser detectors based on previous intelligent algorithms in cancellation of the multiple access interference and the near-far effect.

2008, 30(7): 1571-1575. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2007.00914
Abstract:
A modulation classification method for phase-amplitude-modulated signals transmitted through frequency-nonselective fading Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) channels is presented based on Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) method. An equivalent dynamic state space model is first derived from the MIMO channel. Then the probabilities of all possible modulation types of different transmit antennas can be calculated by sequential importance sampling and type-move step. Finally, noise average is realized utilizing the un-correlation of transmitted data symbols over N channel observation lengths. Moreover, modulations classification is achieved along with estimation of transmitted data symbols. The complexity of the proposed method is linear with the observation channel lengths, number of transmit antennas, sample size, and cardinality of modulation constellation. Simulations show that the proposed method performs well on various constellations.

Abstract:
An Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) based noncoherent detection method for Chaos-Shift-Keying (CSK) communication system is proposed in this paper. The first symbol is used as the training symbol. The carrier signal is estimated from the received signal over the interval of the first symbol duration by using the unscented Kalman filtering algorithm. Then the estimated carrier signal is multiplied with the successive received signal, respectively, to demodulate the successive transmitted symbols. In comparison with the coherent detection method, this algorithm does not require chaos synchronization. In comparison with the existing noncoherent detection methods, simulation results indicate that the method has better BER performance, even outperforms that of the FM-DCSK communication system.

2008, 30(7): 1584-1587. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.02026
Abstract:
Compared with the conventional Time-Division Multiplexed (TDM) channel estimation scheme based on training sequences, the use of implicit training saves valuable bandwidth, where the training sequences are added to information sequences before antenna transmission. However, for a fixed total transmission power, the information power decrease with the increase of the training sequence power, which causes decrease in the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) at channel equalizer. In this paper, the relationship between the SNR of the channel equalizer and the training sequences power is analyzed for MIMO system. The optimal power allocation of the training sequence is derived based on the criterion of maximizing SNR of the equalizer. Analysis and simulation results show that the SNR of the channel equalizer is maximized at the optimal training sequence power, and the optimal power of the training sequences is increased with increase of the signal to noise ratio at the received antennas.

Simulation results prove that the new algorithm can effectively reduce the message sizes and shorten the session setup delay.

Simulation results show that the throughput, frame transmission delay and stability of the ALOHA IR-UWB network is much better than those of the ALOHA network based on carrier modulation technology.

2008, 30(7): 1610-1614. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.01926
Abstract:
A new Markov chain model for the IEEE 802.11e EDCA is presented. The model takes into account both the idle state and differentiation based on different AIFS-value for different traffic. The signal transfer function of the generalized state transition diagram can be used to derive a probability distribution of the MAC layer service time and the performance of EDCA from a non-saturated channel to a saturated medium by using presented M/G/1/K queuing model is analyzed. A good match between the analytical model and simulation which conforms the veracity of proposed model is observed. Simulation shows that despite providing prioritized QoS, the EDCA still can not support strict QoS for real-time application. It is inevitable that there is unfairness of channel access to prioritized traffic due to EDCA.

Abstract:
The existing mobility support scheme in Host Identity Protocol (HIP) does not support micro-mobility. In this paper, a new mobility support scheme in HIP based on dynamic hierarchical location management is proposed. The Internet is separated into some autonomous areas while each autonomous area is separated into some registration areas. When the node moves in the same registration area, it updates its registration at Local RendezVous Server (LRVS). When the node moves in the same autonomous area, it updates its registration at Gateway RendezVous Server (GRVS). The node selects LRVS and determines the optimal size of registration area according to its mobility and packet arrival rate. Analytical results show that the new scheme outperforms the existed mobility support scheme in terms of reducing the overall signaling cost.

Finally, extensive simulation using NS-2 is conducted to verify the effectiveness of these two models. Compared with the classical models, the experimental results indicate that the models have the favorable working performance.

2008, 30(7): 1671-1675. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.02006
Abstract:
A binary wavelet transform-based embedded lossless image coding algorithm called Progressive Partitioning Binary Wavelet-tree Coder (PPBWC) is proposed. In the PPBWC, by using a hybrid coefficient scanning technique, symbols are yielded through the sorting of wavelet coefficients according to the absolute values. The symbols are then encoded using a non-causal adaptive context modeling which takes the advantage of self-similarity between coefficients at different subbands and employs the future information of the encoding coefficient to improve the compression efficiency. Hybrid coefficient scanning and non-causal adaptive context modeling are the major factors that contribute to the compression gain of the PPBWC. Experimental results show that the PPBWC outperforms most of other embedded coders in terms of coding efficiency.

Lin Chuan, Feng Quan-yuan
2008, 30(7): 1676-1679. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.01924
Abstract:
The tap-length and tap-weight adjusting problems of adaptive filter are converted into a single tap-weight adjusting problem. Based on this, a general tap-length updating formula and a new variable tap-length LMS algorithm are presented. The rationality and convergence property of the new algorithm are analyzed. The new algorithm uses time-mean square error to estimate steady state mean square error of the long and short filter and employs adaptive tap-length step size, thus it can update the tap-length fast before the tap-weight converges. It is also proved that several existing variable tap-length algorithms in the literatures can be regarded as special cases of the general updating formula. The theory analysis and numerical simulation results verify the new algorithm.

This paper analyses several typical estimate approaches of the a priori SNR firstly, and then expresses them in the same form, finally presents an improved estimate of the a priori SNR, which is based on the united speech presence probabilities. Simulation results verify that the performance of the proposed estimator is better than those conventional estimators in terms of the segmental SNR and the log-spectral distance.

2008, 30(7): 1684-1689. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.01897
Abstract:
In the state space method based speaker tracking system, the nonlinearity of the measurement function degrades the localizing accuracy of the speaker tracking method severely. The iterated central difference Kalman filter algorithm, which incorporates the iterated filtering theory and the Central Difference Kalman Filter (CDKF) method, is proposed to reduce linearization error. In comparison with traditional CDKF method, the proposed method has higher tracking accuracy, faster convergence speed and more robust stability. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Liu Peng-yuan, Zhao Tie-jun, Yang Mu-yun, Li Zhuang
2008, 30(7): 1690-1694. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2007.01029
Abstract:
This paper describes an unsupervised translation disambiguation method based on the Equivalent Pseudo Translation (EPT). EPT is constructed by using non-ambiguous words of target language, which is semantically equivalent to the source ambiguous words. Sense-tagged examples are automatically extracted from a large scale Chinese corpus, by which a semantic classifier of EPT is formed. In order to apply the EPT classifier, English examples are mapped into a set of Chinese words by Hownet. This method is evaluated on the Senseval-2 framework of English lexical sample task, achieving the top performance against all other previous works which extract sense-tagged examples automatically. The results are very close to the state-of-the-art comparable unsupervised systems.

A Segmentation Algorithm of Infrared Image Based on Variational Formulation Level Set Model
Mei Xue, Xia Liang-zheng, Li Jiu-xian
2008, 30(7): 1700-1702. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2007.00314
Abstract:
Infrared images always have little priori-information and blurry boundaries or even with discontinuous boundaries, and therefore the segmentation of infrared image is very difficult. A variational formulation level set model based on the image global information is obtained, which can detect contours both with and without gradient based on global information and eliminate the re-initialization procedure. The stopping term does not depend on the boundary gradient of the image, which overcomes greatly the over segmentation. This algorithm forces the level set function to be close to a signed distance function, and therefore reduces the number of iterations and the error of re-initialization. The method is used in the segmentation of an infrared image, and the experiment results reveal the effectiveness of the algorithm listed in this paper.

Li Lun-bo, Ma Guang-fu
2008, 30(7): 1703-1707. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2007.01638
Abstract:
A novel feature extraction algorithm is presented for the recognition of traffic sign symbols undergoing degradations in this paper. In order to cope with the degradations, the Combined Blur-Affine Invariants (CBAIs) are adopted to extract the features of traffic sign symbols without any restorations which usually need a great amount of computations. A new magnitude normalization method is proposed for the great differences of magnitude of combined blur-affine invariants. Under the deep discussion of PNN and K-means algorithm, a probabilistic neural network classifier is designed using global K-means algorithm and applied to the classification of degraded traffic signs. The simulation results indicate that CBAIs are efficient for the feature extraction of degraded images, and the designed network is not only parsimonious but also has better generalization performance.

Zhao Chuan-qiang, Wang Hui-yuan, Wu Xiao-juan
2008, 30(7): 1708-1712. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.01959
Abstract:
Linear Discriminant Analysis(LDA) is one of the most popular linear projection techniques for feature extraction. The major drawback of applying LDA is that it often encounters the Small Sample Size(SSS) problem. Besides, their optimization criteria is not directly related to the classification accuracy. In this paper, an improved null space LDA method based on DCT is proposed to solve both problems. First, by employing the DCT instead of the pixel grouping and redefining the within class scatter matrix, a new null space method is given. Then, combining this method with F-LDA an efficient new feature extraction algrithm is proposed for face recognition. Experimental results show that this method achieves better performance than existing ones.

Wang Shen-chao, Miao Duo-qian, Chen Min, Wang Rui-zhi
2008, 30(7): 1713-1716. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2007.00450
Abstract:
Most of traditional clustering algorithms get a partition of sample set with mutually exclusive classes, while there is no explicit boundary between classes mostly in the real world. Introducing rough set theory into clustering analysis, this paper proposes a kind of overlapping-based rough clustering algorithm called KMMRSC which represents a class with multiple centroids and describes the belongingness of samples with the concepts of upper approximation and lower approximation, thus there is overlapping relationship between classes. Experiments show that the algorithm KMMRSC, which can find non-spherical clusters, outperforms classic k-means.

2008, 30(7): 1717-1721. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.02012
Abstract:
An squint mode image formation algorithm for Tandem Bistatic Synthetic Aperture Radar(BSAR) is addressed in terms of its geometry and echo models, which is relative to second range compression in monostatic SAR. Aspects of second range compression, range migration and azimuth focusing, which are different with those in monostatic SAR due to the separation of receive-transmit platforms, are resolved successfully. The algorithm is validated for bistatic SAR with arbitrary bistatic angle geometry.
SAR Target Feature Extraction and Recognition Based on Two-Stage 2DPCA
Hu Li-ping, Liu Hong-wei, Wu Shun-jun
2008, 30(7): 1722-1726. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.01919
Abstract:
Feature extraction based on PCA for 2 dimensional images has the disadvantages of evaluating the covariance matrix accurately with great difficulty and high computational complexity, 2-dimensional PCA (2DPCA) overcomes these flaws. However, a drawback of 2DPCA is that it needs more features, since it only eliminates the correlations between rows. In this paper, two-stage 2DPCA is applied to further compress the dimensions of features and decrease the recognition computation. Experimental results performing on SAR ground targets based the Moving and Stationary Target Acquisition and Recognition (MSTAR) database indicate that two-stage 2DPCA combining with the pre-processing method in this paper not only decreases sharply feature dimensions, but increases recognition rate, and is robust to the variation of target azimuth.

Abstract:
Layover is a nodus in SAR imaging. The unitary ESPRIT algorithm was introduced to resolve the layover problem on the frame of multibaseline InSAR in this paper. The data model of multibaseline InSAR with layover was expatiated firstly, and the layover problem in multibaseline InSAR was boiled down to the estimation of the interferometric phase angle. The basic principle and advantage of the unitary ESPRIT algorithm was depicted, its efficiency was validated by the Monte Carlo simulations. The simulations indicate that unitary ESPRIT algorithm can work well when the looks are very small but the performance of other algorithms degrade sharply.

2008, 30(7): 1736-1739. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.02049
Abstract:
A new method based on cyclic-correlation character for estimating the Doppler and multipath time delay of the wideband echoes for LFM pulse radar by only one pulse signal is presented. First, the Doppler is estimated by energy cumulation of multipath component based on cyclic-correlation transform. Then, an order-reduced signal is reconstructed combining the Doppler with the prior knowledge of the transmitted signal, and the echoes signal is converted to many single-frequency signals. Finally, the multipath time delay is obtained by zero-frequency section cyclic-spectrum where the overlapping echoes can be separated and the resolution is doubled. The method is adapted for low SNR noise, can restrain the affection of the cross-items, and has a high time-delay estimation resolution. Some computer simulations are given in this paper and the results show that the new method is valid.

2008, 30(7): 1740-1743. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.01925
Abstract:
In order to solve the problem of model mismatch when using parametric approach to estimate the density of High-Resolution Range Profile(HRRP) in radar target recognition, a nonparametric methodStochastic Learning of the Cumulative(SLC) is presented for the density estimation of HRRP. SLC uses a multiplayer network to estimate the distribution function of the training samples and obtains density by taking derivative. SLC not only describes the density function more comprehensive and accurately, but also avoids the problem of being sensitive to window width that many nonparametric approaches may suffer. Experimental results using outfield real data demonstrate the validity of the proposed learning algorithm.

2008, 30(7): 1744-1746. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2007.00367
Abstract:
Polarimetric Interferometric SAR (PolInSAR) is a new advanced technique recently based on measurement techniques of polarimetric SAR and interferometric SAR, and making use of PolInSAR data for retrieving the vertical structure parameters of the vegetation layer becomes the hot research topic of the PolInSAR at present. The most useful Single-baseline PolInSAR inversion algorithm is the three-stage inversion algorithm, which was proposed by Cloude and Papathanassiou, but this algorithm has the errors on the its three aspects: coherence estimation, line fitting and volume coherence estimation, and this errors straightly effect the inversion precision. This paper proposes a new inversion algorithm based on the statistic characteristic and PolInSAR phase optimization algorithm, and takes the PolInSAR simulated data to prove the validity of this algorithm.
A New Method to Extract Polynomial Phase Error for Airborne SAR
Xue Guo-yi, Zhou Zhi-min
2008, 30(7): 1747-1750. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.02018
Abstract:
When an airborne platform on which Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) mounted on flies very complicatedly over subaperture time, traditional quadratic phase error can not depict the errors introduced by the platform motions, and the phase errors need be modeled as polynomial errors with higher order. A new algorithm to extract polynomial errors with higher order from SAR echoes, named as Time Phase Adjustment by Contrast Enhancement (TPACE), is proposed in this paper. The TPACE takes the contrast function as object function and the polynomial coefficients of phase errors as variables to be estimated, directly extracting those coefficients by optimization. The gradient of the contrast function with respect to the variables, which is the key point to implement TPACE algorithm, is derived detailed in the paper. Compared to those existed algorithms that can extract polynomial phase errors, the computation load of TPACE is much less and the TPACE is very useful for real time processing. The results processing real ultra-wide band SAR echoes show the method can extract effectively polynomial phase errors from SAR echoes.

Tian Xiao-lin, Jiao Li-cheng, Gou Shui-ping
2008, 30(7): 1751-1755. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2007.00921
Abstract:
Possibilistic C-Means (PCM) clustering algorithm exhibits the robustness to noise, but the spatial information is not considered in this algorithm. Due to the effect of speckle in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images, the serious inaccuracies with segmentation can be resulted by using the PCM algorithm. A robust segmentation algorithm based on an extension to the traditional PCM algorithm is proposed in this paper. The relative location information and intensity information of neighboring pixels are introduced into the objection function of the PCM algorithm. The values of these information are determined by previous clustering result. The degree of influence of these information on clustering is optimized with Immune Clonal Algorithm (ICA), so the degree of influence is adjusted adaptively. Meanwhile, the clustering results of the PCM algorithm are optimized. In the paper, synthetic image and real SAR images are segmented to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithm. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is insensitive to the initial segmentation result and improves the segmentation performance dramatically.
