Wang Wei-Gang, Yang Zhen, Hu Hai-Feng
2013, 35(2): 255-260. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2012.00862
Abstract:
Compressed Sensing (CS) technology paves the way for quick wideband spectrum detection and the WSN based on CS can provide Cognitive Radio (CR) users with the spectrum information. For the spectrum data detected in WSN, a two-dimensional compression Space-Frequency Compressed Sensing (SFCS) model is established in the space and frequency domain, and the corresponding algorithm for reconstruction is proposed and the performance of SFCS is analyzed. The simulation results show that SFCS needs less transmitted data than the traditional model on the same detection probability and the performance of Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) in the algorithm is better than that of traditional method on the same total compressed rate.

Hui Yong-Tao, Li Bing-Bing, Tong Zhao, Xue Lei-Lei
2013, 35(2): 261-266. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2012.00805
Abstract:
Because of the problem of the Minimum Mean Square Error with Successive Detection (MMSE-SD) algorithm with high computational complexity for OFDM systems in the presence of frequency and time double selective channels, an improved low-complexity MMSE-SD algorithm is proposed in this paper. The algorithm extends firstly the channel matrix and detection matrix, then establishes the relationship between them by using recursive inversion instead of direct inversion at each detection. Both theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the improved algorithm retains the performance of the original algorithm with much lower computational complexity compared to the original MMSE-SD algorithm; Compared to other algorithms, the improved algorithm balances the performance with the computational complexity. The larger normalization Doppler frequency shift, the better performance it possesses with the unchanged computational complexity.

2013, 35(2): 267-272. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2012.00787
Abstract:
Dynamic channel sharing policy is the key technology to improve the spectrum utilization in cognitive radio networks. First, the scenario is considered that several cognitive networks with finite user population coexist. Then, a three-dimensional Markov chain model is developed to analyze the performance of the partial channel sharing policy in the cases with and without channel handoff. Finally, the blocking probability, the forced termination probability, handoff probability of the users and the system throughput are analyzed by comparing with the static spectrum allocation policy and the hierarchical sharing policy. The simulation results show that the system with partial channel sharing policy will gain higher throughput by tolerating lower handoff probability and forced termination probability.

Abstract:
The construction of non-binary quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check codes are investigated. Important factors that influence the performance of non-binary LDPC codes are discussed in detail. The circle length and connectivity are taken into account in the construction. The selection of shift values to extend the mother matrix and the replacement of non-zero elements over GF(q) for the parity check matrix are studied. Meanwhile, a suboptimum method with lower complexity is proposed to search for the solution according to the new formula. The method is applied to the construction of non-binary LDPC codes over different Galois fields. Simulation results show that the codes constructed by this method outperform the corresponding binary codes by 0.2 dB at FER around10-4 on the BPSK AWGN channel. The performance gap is larger when the order of the Galois field equals the order of the modulation. Compared with non-binary cycle code with the same code rate and approximate code length, the constructed non-binary LDPC code gets an improvement of 0.25 dB at FER around 10-4.

2013, 35(2): 341-348. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2012.00654
Abstract:
A low latency router architecture based Pre-Allocated Path Router (PAPR) is proposed for the Network-on-Chip (NoC). The advanced-routing algorithm and pre-allocated path are implemented to reduce the depth of the pipeline. The pre-allocated virtual channel arbitration is guaranteed by the advanced-routing. The packet transmission time in the network will not be affected even if the pre-allocation of virtual channel arbitration fails. The arbitration algorithm BSTS (Buffer Status ) takes the buffer status of the current node and downstream node into consideration. The new router not only reduces the packet waiting time in the buffer, but also lowers the probabilities of the idle buffer. According to the simulation results, compared with Generic Virtual Channel Router with iSLIP (GVCR-iSLIP) (iterative Round-Robin Matching with Serial Line Interface Protocal (SLIP)), the PAPR reduces the End To End (ETE) delay by 24.5% and improves the throughput by 27.5%; Compared with GVCR with Round-Robin Matching (RRM) (GVCR-RRM), the ETE delay is decreased by 39.2% and the throughput is increased by 47.2%. The router logic unit overhead and the power consumption are only increased by 8.9% and 5.9% respectively.

Wang Hai-Yan, Zhang Da-Yin
2013, 35(2): 349-354. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2012.00946
Abstract:
Current Quality of Service (QoS)-based service selection approaches pay little attention to personal properties and characteristics of service requesters. However, Collaborative Filtering (CF)-based service selection approaches fail to consider the trustworthiness of recommenders and can not resist malicious feedback from recommenders. This paper introduces user correlation to embody the impact of personal characteristics of service requesters on selection process, computes creditability of recommendation, and employs analytic hierarchy process to decide the weight of each factor in service reputation. With the integration of trust evaluation methods and CF techniques, a Trustworthy Services Selection Model based on Collaborative Filtering (TSSMCF) is presented. Simulation experiments demonstrate that TSSMCF model can not only improve the efficiency of service selection but also effectively avoid malicious attack from service recommenders.

Abstract:
As mathematical fundamental of stochastic computing system, transfer function of variance and expected value based on Bernoulli distribution is not accurate and general in system analysis.

There are four groups of transfer function proposed here, which proves the effectiveness of stochastic computing system in a more general way; also they offer a better way to evaluate stochastic system. Compared with traditional bit-level simulation, evaluation method based on variance is time saving, accurate and comprehensive. New variance transfer function includes type of input random stream into performance analysis for the first time, which proves that specific length of stochastic sequence can maximize system performance.

Liu Gao-Feng, Li Ming, Wang Ya-Jun, Zhang Peng
2013, 35(2): 368-375. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2012.00897
Abstract:
An analytic solution to the Non-Negative Eigenvalue Decomposition (NNED) in the non-reflection symmetry case is derived for the first time, which is named as NNED with non-reflection symmetry. It is applied to the Freeman decomposition, and then a Freeman decomposition based on NNED with non-reflection symmetry is proposed. During the Freeman decomposition, the NNED with non-reflection symmetry is used to extract volume scattering power, and adjust volume scattering power, double-bounce scattering power and surface scattering power to ensure the remainder covariance matrix has no negative eigenvalues. Compared with the Freeman decomposition based on NNED with reflection symmetry, the proposed decomposition method can availably use the non-diagonal elements which are regarded as zeros in the reflection symmetry case, and can ensure the remainder covariance matrix has no negative eigenvalues. The real-POLSAR-data experiment shows the proposed decomposition method can markedly enhance the double-bounce scattering power and weaken the volume scattering power.

2013, 35(2): 381-387. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2012.00843
Abstract:
Detecting high-speed multi-target is affected by range migration, Doppler spread and velocity ambiguity in the linear frequency modulation pulse compression radar. In order to solve these problems, the joint frequency-domain scaling pulse compression processing and Lvs Method (LvM, 2011) is utilized to realize coherent integration of target signal firstly. And then, parametric detection for high-speed multi-target is completed with Doppler frequency ambiguity searching based method. The computational load of target parametric detection is reduced by the proposed frequency-domain scaling pulse compression processing, which can compensate range migration and Doppler frequency ambiguity simultaneously. The performance of the target detection and moving parameters estimation is improved owing to the utilization of the coherent integration in low signal-to-noise ratio. With the computational load analysis, computer simulation and raw radar data results, the validity of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated.

2013, 35(2): 388-393. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2012.00238
Abstract:
The sparse signal reconstruction with Compressed Sensing (CS) is actually solving a system of underdetermined linear equations within the signal sparsity, of which one focus is to reduce recovery errors by the type of iteratively weightedLp(001,p=2) algorithms recently. The Basis Pursuit-Moore-Penrose Inverse Matrix (BP-MPIM) algorithm is proposed in this paper. First, nonzero element coordinates of the sparse signal are acquired by the basis pursuit algorithm, which are renamed with the sparse signal support set (corresponding with columns of the measure matrix). Then, the sparse signal recovery is solved from a set of superdetermined linear equations, which is composed of the submatrix of the sampling matrix and compressed sensing measurements. At the same time, it is proved that the reconstruction of sparse signals by this new algorithm is the one and only minimize L2 norm. Both simulative sparse signals and pulse compressed data of wideband radar echoes indicate that the new algorithm has less recovery errors than the previous algorithms, which are just in the support set.

Chen Gen-Hua, Chen Bo-Xiao
2013, 35(2): 394-400. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2012.00920
Abstract:
Due to the ambiguities in Direction Of Arrival (DOA) estimation for an interferometric array VHF radar, a novel ambiguity-resolution algorithm based on matrix completion is proposed. The algorithm with additional elements for ambiguity resolution in interferometry is extended to the interferometric array. Then the interferometric array becomes a completion array or fully augmentable array. The well-known Direct Augmentation Approach (DAA), MUSIC (MUltiple SIgnal Classification) and association method are orderly utilized to resolve the ambiguities and obtain nonambiguous but low-variance DOA estimation. An interferometric spatial smoothing technique for decorrelating coherent signals is also proposed in terms of the array geometry. Simulation results and the results of real data demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed algorithms. The matrix-completion algorithm has some computational and real-time advantages at the cost of a small increase in hardware.

Simulation result shows that under the specified simulation scenario, the altitude estimation error is within 2000 m. Comparing with the log likelihood function algorithm, the proposed algorithm has better robustness.

Abstract:
In order to analyze the micro-movement component of the ballistic targets at the middle trajectory, the accurate estimation and compensation of the high-speed translational component from the radar echo are needed.

This method can effectively inhibit the influence of the micro- movement component on the translational radial velocity estimation, and provide better estimation accuracy than traditional methods. The ultra-wideband signal model containing both high-speed translational components and micro-movement components can also be used directly for subsequent micro parameter extraction processing. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the signal model and the translational radial velocity estimation method presented in the paper.

Abstract:
A novel supervised linear method based on Locality Preserving Projection (LPP) of reducing dimensionality is proposed for face recognition. In this study, the nearest neighbor graph of LPP is split into within-class graph and between-class graph according to the class label information of samples. After optimizing, the intrinsic local neighbor structure of the samples of same class is maintained and the distances between them are decreased. Meanwhile, the distances between the samples of different class are maximized to increase the space of the distribution of all kinds of samples, and thus the discriminability of the embedding is enhanced. In addition, adaptive neighborhood is applied to the construction of the graph, with the characterization for the sparsity of the sample improved. Experimental results on the two open face databases, Extended Yale B and CMU PIE face database, show that the proposed algorithm improves the accuracy of face recogntion effectively.

Abstract:
In order to assess multi distorted types of image quality effectively, a new no reference image quality assessment method is proposed, which uses General Regression Neural Network (GRNN) model to predict image quality score by learning phase congruency feature. In this method, three images, namely the Phase Congruency (PC) image, the maximum moment of PC covariance and the minimum moment of PC covariance image, are produced by the phase congruency model. Secondly the gradient entropy of the three reproduced images, the gradient mean value and the gradient entropy of the original image are computed by gray-level gradient co-occurrence matrix model, and the mean value of the three images are also calculated. At last all above eight features are fed to GRNN to learn, and predict image quality score. Experimental results demonstrate our algorithm is more consistent with human subjective scores and moreover has credible generalization.

Abstract:
A hyper-spectral image compression algorithm based on nonnegative tensor factorizations is proposed in this paper. First, every band of hyper-spectral images is decomposed by 2D 5/3 discrete wavelet transform to reduce the space redundancy of hyper-spectral images. Then, the four DWT sub-bands of the each level DWT for all spectral coverage are used as four tensors. And each sub-band tensor is decomposed by the proposed improved Hierarchical Alternating Least Squares (HALS) algorithm to reduce the spectra redundancy and the residual space redundancy. The algorithm can also protect the spectral information. Finally, the factorizations matrix is encoded by an entropy coder. The experimental results show that the proposed compression algorithm has good compressive property. In the compression ration range from 32:1 to 4:1, the average peak signal to noise ratio of proposed compression algorithm is higher than 40 dB. Compared with traditional approaches, the proposed method could improve the average PSNR by 1.499 dB. The compression performance of hyper-spectral image is effectively improved and the spectral information is protected.

2013, 35(2): 494-498. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2012.00648
Abstract:
In order to improve the axial resolution and satisfy the contrast resolution of medical ultrasound imaging, a predistorted Linear Frequency Modulation (LFM) coded excitation new method based on amplitude weighting is proposed. Combining the amplitude weighting technology of LFM transmitted signal with the sidelobe reduction technology of echo signal, the method on the one hand can compensate the influence of transducer impulse response on transmission signal, so bandwidth of the echo signal is not limited by the transducer and axial resolution is improved. On the other hand, the method can remove the Fresnel ripples of transmitted signals frequency response, increase its bandwidth and use mismatched filter for pulse compression, so range sidelobe is suppressed to ensure contrast resolution. The results of simulation reveal that in contrast with constant envelope LFM coded excitation, the predistorted one can improve axial resolution and reduce maximum sidelobe at -48 dB to satisfy contrast resolution of medical imaging. FieldII Simulation results of B-mode image show that the axial resolution of constant envelope LFM coded excitation and the predistorted one is 0.35 mm and 0.25 mm, respectively.
