Liu Yu-Xi, Liu Ju, Zheng Li-Na, Xu Hong-Ji, Guo Wei-Dong
2011, 33(10): 2287-2292. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2011.00157
Abstract:
The capacity of a Mobile User (MU) is analyzed for downlink distributed communication system in multi-cell environment, when MU locates at any position within the cell. Moreover, the closed-form expression of the capacity is derived. Most papers adopt Central Limit Theory (CLT), and the precondition of it is that the interference terms are more enough. If the interference terms are few, the CLT method has defects in system performance analysis. The contribution of the paper is that the constraint condition is relaxed. The interference plus noise is considered as Gaussian noise with fixed variance when adopting CLT. On the contrary, the variance of the interference plus noise is considered as a random variable influenced by transmit power as well as propagation pathloss in the paper. Under the relaxed condition, the system performance is re-analyzed and the repeated-root problem making use of Moment Generation Function (MGF) is overcome. Through theoretical analysis along with numerical simulations, it demonstrates that the proposed analytical method can represent the propagation pathloss effect on interference more accurately. Thus, the whole system performance is improved.

Wang Xiao-Tao, Qian Hua, Xu Jing, Yang Yang
2011, 33(10): 2300-2305. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2011.00413
Abstract:
There exists circular trap in Circular Viterbi Algorithm (CVA) and deficiencies in CVA-based decoding algorithms of Tail-Biting Convolutional Codes (TBCC). A high efficient decoding algorithm is proposed for TBCC. The checking rule for circular trap in the new algorithm is that comparing whether the two maximum likelihood paths obtained from two different iterations are identical to each other, if they are identical, the CVA should be terminated. Meanwhile, when there no trap happens, a new adaptive stopping rule for CVA is proposed which is based on comparing the maximum likelihood path with the best maximum likelihood tail-biting path. Furthermore, the path used as the measurements in the checking rule and in the stopping rule is replaced by its net path metric to reduce the complexity of decoder. The results of experiments show that the new algorithm improves the decoding efficiency and reduces the decoder complexity.

Abstract:
Cooperative transmission for cognitive radio networks not only enhances the anti-fading capability of the system, but also improves the bandwidth efficiency. But its really a worth considering issue when the relay node should assit the source node to transmit information. This paper proposes a cooperative guideline based on cooperative level. Firstly the notion of cooperative level is defined, then the expressions of system bandwidth utilization and the average symbol error rate are deduced, finally the system performance function is got through the compromise between the coorperative thresholds and power ratio. This paper also employs particle swarm optimization algorithm to solve optimal cooperative threshold and optimal power ratio. The simulation results verify the performance of the proposed scheme and show that good link state from source node to destination node and cooperative transmission by the relay node are both useful for optimizing the system performance.

Su He-Guang, Xia Shu-Tao
2011, 33(10): 2334-2339. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2010.01202
Abstract:
This paper considers the issue of finding good puncturing patterns for rate-compatible LDPC codes. When studying the puncturing of LDPC codes, Ha, et al. obtain a so-called grouping and sorting puncturing scheme to maximize the number of lower k-SR nodes. Though the grouping and sorting scheme outperforms random puncturing schemes, it guarantees only single survived check node. This paper investigates the effect of multiple survived check nodes, and proposes an effective puncturing scheme called MSCN, which maximizes the number of survived check nodes. Simulation results over AWGN channels show that the proposed MSCN scheme is superior to the grouping and sorting scheme at low rates. By theoretical analysis and experimental results, it is indicated that multiple survived check nodes enhance the decoding performance of LDPC codes.

Rigidity Guided Trajectory Design of Mobile Anchor in Wireless Sensor Networks
Wang Han, Qi Wang-Dong, Wang Kun
2011, 33(10): 2353-2357. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2011.00199
Abstract:
In most mobile-assisted localization schemes, mobile anchors usually follow predefined scan trajectories or move randomly. When sensors are deployed non-uniformly in various terrains with complex shapes, random and predefined trajectories lead to wasted efforts in localization and uncertain localization performance. In this paper, by utilizing deployment topology information, a novel scheme of trajectory design for mobile anchor is proposed. Based on rigidity theory, the original network is first partitioned into localization units. The shortest path traversing all units is chosen as the trajectory of mobile anchor. Anchor moves along this path and localizes units in turn. Large scale simulations show that the new scheme avoids unnecessary movements and position broadcast efficiently and accommodates all kinds of deployment scenarios smartly. Compared with classic scan based trajectory, anchor travels at much shorter path and broadcasts much fewer positions.

2011, 33(10): 2372-2377. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2011.00125
Abstract:
The sparse representation based on overcomplete dictionary is a new signal representation theory. Recent activities in this field concentrate mainly on the study of dictionary design algorithm and sparse decomposition algorithm. In this paper, a novel speech signal sparse representation algorithm is proposed based on adaptive overcomplete dictionary. Considering stationary signal with autocorrelation function of exponential decay, an adaptive overcomplete dictionary is constructed in terms of the Karhunen-Love (K-L) expansion. Furthermore, an effective algorithm based on the nonlinear approximation is proposed to obtain sparse decomposition of signal with the adaptive dictionary. The experimental results indicate that short-term stationary speech signal sparse representation based on the adaptability and algebraic structure of atom in the overcomplete dictionary has higher sparsity and better reconstructive precision. The sparse representation algorithm can preferably be used in compressed sensing.
A Novel Template Reduction K-Nearest Neighbor Classification Method Based on Weighted Distance
2011, 33(10): 2378-2383. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2011.00051
Abstract:
As a nonparametric classification algorithm, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) is very efficient and can be easily realized. However, the traditional KNN suggests that the contributions of all K nearest neighbors are equal, which makes it easy to be disturbed by noises. Meanwhile, for large data sets, the computational demands for classifying patterns using KNN can be prohibitive. In this paper, a new Template reduction KNN algorithm based on Weighted distance (TWKNN) is proposed. Firstly, the points that are far away from the classification boundary are dropped by the template reduction technique. Then, in the process of classification, the K nearest neighbors weights of the test sample are set according to the Euclidean distance metric, which can enhance the robustness of the algorithm. Experimental results show that the proposed approach effectively reduces the number of training samples while maintaining the same level of classification accuracy as the traditional KNN.

2011, 33(10): 2384-2389. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2011.00009
Abstract:
A blind audio watermarking algorithm with self-synchronization for copyright protection is proposed. In the application of media copyright management, the decoding results should have a time precision, better robustness and fidelity. However, most of algorithms can not provide enough robustness and time precision. To deal with these problems, in this paper, spread spectrum theory and the short-time relevance of audio signal are used to generate a watermark. To improve the fidelity of audio, a psychoacoustic auditory model is further used. Moreover, special synchronization strategy and watermark message frame structure are used to get a high time precision decoding results. Experimental results show that the watermarking scheme is robust against common audio editing attacks while keeping the watermarked audio a high perceptual quality.

Yu Lu, Xie Jun, Zhu Lei
2011, 33(10): 2390-2395. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2010.00939
Abstract:
In the existing local discriminant analysis methods, weight matrices in objective functions are determined by neighborhood relationship (in original space) of samples before they are projected, without consideration of changes of the neighborhood after the projection. In order to depict the optimization goal of classification more accurately, a local discriminant projection method based on objective space is proposed, in which weight matrices in objective function are determined by the neighborhood of projected samples, namely, neighborhood in objective space. The objective function is optimized by an iterative procedure. The underlying idea of the new method is that the desired projection should make neighbors, in objective space, of the same class close and neighbors of different class apart. Experiment results show that the method overcomes effectively the problems of local discriminant analysis in original space and achieves good performance on both synthetic data and standard data set of handwriting digital.

Abstract:
To solve the problem of estimating two dimensional Direction Of Arrival (DOA) using sparse representation, a novel DOA estimation method is proposed to estimate the DOAs of two-dimensional signals based on sparse representation of space angle. So the space angle is put forward to construct the dictionary. By this way, the dimension of dictionary is reduced to one-dimension from two-dimensional space, and the length of the redundant dictionary is largely reduced. Then the algorithm is extended to frequency domain, and the frequency sparse representation of space angle method is presented. Compared with the traditional high-resolution methods, the proposed method has lower SNR threshold and smaller snaps. Theoretical analysis and simulation experiments verify the algorithm has a better performance in the aspect of precision and resolution to estimate the DOAs of two-dimensional coherent signals than the MUSIC algorithm.

Abstract:
Micro-motion feature is one of the effective features used for radar target recognition in the middle section of the ballistic curve.

Using the method to extract six precession and structural parameters in different angles of incidence is analyzed, and the simulated results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

2011, 33(10): 2477-2482. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2011.00193
Abstract:
Based on the bistatic scattering coefficients deduced from perturbation method and the simulated data of bistatic sea echo spectrum, Howells algorithm is adopted to derive the wave-number spectrum and to extract the information of significant wave height and wind speed. In this paper, the applicable condition of Howells algorithm is complemented. The selection principle of the retained number of singular values of the kernel matrix is determined. Inversion results show that the inversion errors of significant wave height and wind speed decrease as the wind direction tends to perpendicular. And the inversion errors also decrease as the appropriate operating frequency is selected according to the sea state (i.e. wind speed or significant wave height). If the operating frequency and the retained number of singular values of the kernel matrix are appropriate, the inversion error of significant wave height will be less than 3% and the inversion error of wind speed will be less than 1%.

2011, 33(10): 2483-2488. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2011.00231
Abstract:
An algorithm for multi-target three-dimensional (3D) localization in bistatic Multiple-Input Multiple- Output (MIMO) radar system with uniform linear transmit array and L-shape receive array is presented. After forming a complex matrix based on ESPRIT, the receive angles of each target can be calculated from the imaginary part and real part of each eigenvalue of that complex matrix. Then the transmit angles of each target can be obtained by utilizing eigenvectors of that complex matrix and signal subspace. The receive angles and transmit angle can be paired automatically. The proposed method does not need to know the variance of noise, and the computed load is low. Simulation results verify that the method is more effective in the low SNR condition, and the mean square errors of estimated angles are close to the Cramer Rao bound.

According to the signal structure of China Mobile Multimedia Broadcasting (CMMB), this paper analyzes the ambiguity function of CMMB signal as illuminator of opportunity for passive radar systems. The mechanism of these ambiguity peaks is researched and compared with Europe Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial (DVB-T) signal. As for the adverse effects because of the side peaks caused by cyclic prefix and Doppler ambiguity strips due to sync-signal, a method for suppressing these ambiguities is proposed. Simulation and experimental results show that the analysis of side peaks' mechanism is correct and the method can suppress side peaks effectively, which lays the foundation for target detection.

2011, 33(10): 2494-2499. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2011.00147
Abstract:
In the paper, the percentage of the Intrinsic Mode Function (IMFs) energy in the whole sea clutter energy is analyzed, the percentage variation affected by the target is discussed. As shown of the results, the energy of the pure sea clutter is focused on the former 3 IMFs, but the latter 6 IMFs are pervaded by the energy of the sea clutter when the target appears, and the intrinsic mode energy entropy can describe the variational distribution of the energy when the target appears. So the intrinsic mode energy entropy is proposed to detect the weak target. Compared with the target detection method directly using the box dimension and the multi-pulses CA-CFAR (100 pulses) and the CFAR target detection method in frequency domain, the method proposed improves the detection performance of the weak target in the sea clutter distinctly.

2011, 33(10): 2500-2505. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2011.00053
Abstract:
To accelerate the locking speed of the Digitally Controlled Phase-Locked Loop (DCPLL), a Dynamic Bandwidth Management (DBM) algorithm for DCPLL is presented. Only when the phase error sensed by the phase detector is less than the boundary condition for three times, the proposed algorithm decreases the DCPLL bandwidth. In addition, the proposed algorithm increases the DCPLL bandwidth immediately when the sensed phase error is larger the boundary condition. To verify the proposed algorithm, a behavioral model is developed in MATLAB environment. The simulation results show that, under the same condition, the locking time of the DCPLL with the proposed algorithm is reduced to 28.6%?85.7% of the locking time with the traditional DBM algorithm. Finally, a DCPLL is implemented by CSM 0.18 m 1P6M CMOS and tested. The measured results show that the proposed algorithm can decrease the phase error rapidly and keep the DCPLL in locking status. Therefore, the proposed algorithm can avoid the limitation of traditional DBM algorithm, decrease the probability of changing the PLL bandwidth falsely, and accelerate the locking speed.

2011, 33(10): 2506-2510. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2011.00085
Abstract:
Considering that the Code-Aided (CA) carrier recovery algorithms perform small synchronization range and big inaccuracy in extremely low Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) deep space communication systems, two joint assisted carrier synchronization algorithms by code and pilot are proposed. First the Log-Likelihood-Function (LLF) of CA carrier estimation is derived by Maximum-Likelihood (ML) criterion and two new CA fine synchronization algorithms which have closed-form expression are got by simplify the Maclaurin series of LLF and its derivative. And then, a coarse synchronization algorithm is proposed based on pilot symbols in order to handle larger parameter offsets and its Mean Squared Error (MSE) is also derived. Finally, two joint assisted carrier synchronization algorithms by code and pilot are got by orderly combining the coarse estimation algorithm and fine estimation algorithm. And the simulations by the LDPC-Hadamard code with rate 1/12 verify that the new algorithm can increase synchronization range and improve accuracy, achieving perfect synchronization with a certain amount of pilot symbols at extremely low SNR.

Abstract:
In the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems, based on the studying of Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) reduction by using Partial Transmit Sequence (PTS) technology, an improved PTS scheme of multi-stage optimization is proposed. This method is to find the optimal phase rotation factors by increasing the number of optimization steps and reducing the number of pre-determined phase elements in the set of each step, and change the trend of computational complexity which is higher with more disjoint sub-blocks and more predetermined phase factors. This method can be used in conjunction with suboptimal search algorithm. Analysis of computational complexity and simulation results show that, compared with traditional scheme, this method can not only largely reduce the computational complexity, but also reduce the PAPR.

2011, 33(10): 2516-2520. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2011.00239
Abstract:
Reasonable clustering algorithm can prolong the Large Scale Wireless Sensor Network (LS-WSN) lifetime, so as to reduce the cost of using it. Up to now, most research on WSN clustering assumes that the nodes in WSN are uniformly distributed. But this assumption is different from practical LS-WSN. In this paper, a novel clustering algorithm is proposed, which is suitable for the non-uniformly distributed LS-WSNs. In the proposed algorithm, LS-WSN is clustered according to the location aware clustering method, which based on the hexagons virtual grid, then the clusters are adjusted following a game theoretic adjustment process. After the algorithm, the numbers of nodes in each cluster is nearly similar. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively balance the number of nodes in each cluster, thus prolonging the effective lifetime of WSN.

Abstract:
In order to achieve bit synchronization of high-dynamic and weak GPS signal, a bit synchronization method based on differential coherent accumulation is proposed, called differential accumulation method. With this method, every one of complex samples after coherent integration within a navigation data bit period is multiplied with the conjugated of the previous corresponding sample that the interval between them is an integer number of navigation data bit length and the product is accumulated, and then non-coherent accumulated as a statistic to calculate the value of the 20 candidate locations, the starting position of differential coherent accumulation corresponds with the largest value is determined as navigation data bit boundary position to perform bit synchronization. Simulation results show that the differential accumulation method is suitable for high-dynamic, weak GPS signal bit synchronization.

Abstract:
Due to suppression the influence of impulsive noise spikes (outliers) from desired signal direction of arrival in Global Positioning System (GPS) signals, an improved Householder-based MultiStage Wiener Filter (HMSWF) is proposed. The method substitutes parts of the weights of the Householder-based MultiStage Wiener Filter for the minimal module weights, which have the minimal module of the samples quotient, and adoptes in space-time anti-jamming processing in GPS receiver. The improved method has the prominent ability of restricting the influence of the impulsive noise spikes (outliers) from desired signal direction of arrival to adaptive weights. Computational simulation results indicate the method achieves better interference suppression ability and a good performance in reducing the influence of the impulsive noise spikes (outliers) to adaptive weights.

2011, 33(10): 2531-2535. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2011.00153
Abstract:
Since human face movements distribute on a nonlinear manifold, there are inherent alignment residuals brought by the global linearity hypothesis in the traditional Principal Component Analysis (PCA) based Active Appearance Models (AAM). In this paper, a famous manifold learning method, Local Linear Embedding (LLE) is improved to model human face shape space for reducing the inherent alignment residuals. The experimental results show that the method, LLE-AAM, obtains lower alignment residuals to the tiny alterations of human face and still make successful alignment when PCA-AAM failed to some large alterations. According to the statistical analysis, LLE-AAM could reduce the residual to a certain extent.

Abstract:
Betweenness centrality is a widely used indicator to measure the node importance in complex network s, but it is computationally-expensive to calculate betweenness centrality. In this paper, analysis on the traditional betweenness centrality algorithms is completed and a novel algorithm is proposed to meet the hardware design features. Based on this algorithm, parallel computing system is implemented on FPGA with task level coarse grained parallelism and pipeline based fine grained parallelism. The experimental results show that the FPGA based implementation achieves up to 4.31 times speedup compared with an 8-core CPU implementation.
